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.
