John spoke to the group about how they can bring home the message message about drug and substance abiise to the youth in their various sections. Nancy Reagan's slogan, 'Just Say No' is cute and catchy, but it just doesn't do the trick, he says. Just like the phrase, 'Don't Drink and Drive' - catchy, but it has taken year to get through to people with just a slogan. And kids may not have year to leam these hard lessons. John told us that drug dealers play for keeps - it's not a kid's game.' This is the message we have to try to get through to our youth. He told us that 'crack' is a drug that is popular in Durham. It is highly addictive and is affordable when compared to cocaine. There has been a rise in youth crime in the region (such as robberies) in order to pay for their dmg habit. "Your nice little communities are growing," he said. "And this brings in change and crime. This includes drugs;" "You arc in a position to help instill instill a good basic value system in the youth of this area by getting them active active in your programs, in sports, and like activities. We have to do more than tell them 'just say no.' We have to . show our kids how drugs affect their health. Buying drugs off the street isn't like walking into a pharmacy pharmacy and buying aspirin. In a pharmacy pharmacy you are assured of getting the exact same thing each time you buy it. Street drugs differ from purchase to purchase, from pusher to pusher. Kids can't be sure how each purchase will affect them. Some could be strong enough to kill them." To get his.point across, Mr. Green told us about Benji Haywood, the young teen in Toronto who bought drugs at a concert and became disoriented disoriented and was found dead two days later at the lake. John went on to say, "the youth you work with have possibly had presentations at their schools, and they will be familiar with many of the problems of substance abuse. It would be good for you to back it up with discussions with the youth in your sections. Let your kids know that dealers don't care about them, their health or their families. All dealers dealers want is their money. They don't even care if you get good or bad 'stuff." "Pass on the message - It's not a kid's game. Keep the lines of conn: munication open." t Many leaders said to me after the , presentation - "Gçéi' lie told us some scary stuff!" It was scary. Pass it on. It could be a matter of life and death.
