GET INFORMED
Knowing the facts about drugs can equip parents to better protect their children from drug use. Here’s information to know:
• Drugs alter brain development, especially in adolescents who are still growing and learning.
• Drugs reduce levels of “reward” neurotransmitters like serotonin and endorphins in the brain, making it harder for the brain to naturally experience happiness.
• Drugs commonly accessed by youth include alcohol, to***co, ma*****na, prescription drugs and street drugs, including fentanyl which is the leading cause in drug-related deaths in Fresno County.
• Drug dealers use apps to contact youth and arrange convenient cash-app purchases, even dropping off products in locations by a student’s home.
• App conversations can be made up entirely of emojis in certain combinations that signify various drugs.
• Parents should talk with their child about the dangers and real consequences of drug use.
