Hello Pucone,

I also think that students are for the most part very interested in learning about drugs. I have to say that sometimes students know more about drugs than we assume. I've been teaching ninth graders for seven years and I have to say that their health teachers are doing a darn good job in informing them of what is out there and what can happen to them if they decide to use drugs. The population of kids that I serve, especially the males are exposed to drugs and mariguana seems to be the drug of choice.

I sometimes wonder if the government can really do something about the drug war that we face here in our country. Even if drugs were eradicated; people will always find something new to get the high that they are looking for, sometimes putting their lives in danger.

I was curious to know who was the major producer of opium and I wasn't surprise to find out that Afghanistan came in first place.
