Drug-use is a terminal disease. - Virgil Miller Newton

A certain group of adolescents evidence clear “druggie” behavior and attributes some time before they actually begin drug use.

If a child has an older sibling involved in an addiction, there is a 90 percent chance that he or she will get involved too.

Our teenage “druggies” are habituated to drugs rather than addicted. While beer and other alcoholic beverages are preferred drugs, kids have simply not used alcohol long enough to become addicted. The other drug of preference – marijuana – is not addictive.
