Want to know if your kid is on drugs?

Quite interestingly, there are some very clear "signs" that drug users broadcast.

Weed:  Personally, I don't think anyone who hasn't graduated high school should be messing around with pot.  So, if you're a parent, and agree, here's what to look for if you think your kid is smoking reefer:

Bob Marley anything.  Nobody, I mean NOBODY listens to Bob Marley (raggae) until they've tried pot.  So that's one super-obvious thing.  Other less obvious "symbols" to look for (that I think are pretty reliable):  Worms, rabbits, tigers, the color green.  Also, if your kid is some kind of genius at art, or is in a band.  If your kid is in a band, look out---odds are he's selling weed on the side.

Speed, AKA meth, amphetamines, glass, ice, chalk.  Speed freaks display an unusual love for cats.  Look for:  bleached hair or a shaved head, interest in Nazis, spotless bedroom, lightbulbs disappearing (they use them as pipes), random nap-taking.

Heroin, AKA oxy contin, loratabs, opiates, smack.  Common signs:  horses, bears, cows (strangely enough), chickens, homosexual tendencies.

Ecstacy:  I call these pills "cobras" because they are pure venom.  Made of methamphetamines and something else that is probably heroin.  Signs:  tunnel vision, and major cluttering (stacking things instead of putting them away).

So, I hope this helps and saves some kids.

Oh yeah, cocaine, AKA crack.  Signs:  skunks, tuxedos, flames.  Crack smoke smells kind of like burning baking soda, and may cause a sinus headache.

I don't buy into the religion of "addiction" and think anyone can quit anything.  Withdrawal, my ass.

And of course there's alcohol.  I wouldn't worry about that.
