The Original Drug Manual for Kids – for families that care about real drug related problems is a unique resource for those seriously interested in dealing with the real problems of drug abuse, addiction and dependency. Unlike other drug literature it is a forward-looking view of the adult world of drugs for which you as a teen will have to learn coping strategies to lead a productive and healthy life. Contrary to media disinformation, over 90% of the drug-related problems are in the adult world where the pressure to use and abuse drugs will dwarf anything that you may have previously encountered as a child. Those people that you should normally look to for leadership and guidance will deliberately mislead you for their own benefit and compound the difficulties in coping with those pressures.
This manual was not written to provide you quick and easy solutions and strategies to solve all your drug –related problems. It does not even attempt to educate you about the vagaries of drug use and addiction; that information is subject to change as research and life experiences reveal new truths. It will not give you specific information about how a drug will affect you as a user since that information differs between users and the ways that they use – or abuse – any drug. While this manual will deal with lifestyle and attitudinal changes that may prove most helpful in dealing with a current addiction, dependency, or abuse problem it is recommended that you seek some professional guidance and the support of friends, family, and anyone willing and/or able to give emotional support for your immediate problem.
What the manual does offer are insights – from an adult – into the stresses and problems that most adults have to deal with. These stresses include the abuses that one will encounter in the workplace, sexual relations, friendships, social activities, politics, religion, community involvement, hobbies, serious avocations – including charitable or community activities, and even one’s family – if one should choose that lifestyle. In this respect, it will not only prove a serious launchpad for discussions of child related problems, but those of adults in the child’s world as it will expose the abuses and hypocrisies of the adult world of abuse and dependency that leads to drug related problems. In this respect it may prove even more educational for the parents than for the kids – who may already be aware of the widespread abuses, lies, and hypocrisy within the adult world.
This manual is designed mainly to guide emergent adults into independent thought about current problems and developing strategies for coping with problems likely to be encountered later in life. Those in leadership positions throughout our communities have continually and deliberately misled us – with the aid of a lapdog mass media - about many serious issues and shouldn’t be trusted to look after our welfare. It is your duty as a citizen taxpayer to learn about the issues and problems that our untrustworthy – and largely abusive – leaders are entrusted with. This manual will give you simple coping strategies and suggestions for reliable resources to gain necessary information for functioning in the adult world. Most adults are inherently honest and will go out of their way to help you – if you ask the right questions and make the most productive requests.
The most important thing to be remembered about this manual is that it is inherently incomplete. It is only based on the life experiences of one adult – who can’t seriously be considered for sainthood. There will be a web page set aside for feedback from readers. This page will include additional launchpad activities and questions for readers to deal with along with additional information and insights that readers may wish to share with others. Since the author is a US citizen, much of the commentary is mostly applicable to the US legal and political system – although some of the truths are universal in nature. The website will be located at: http://www.geocities.com/rimchamp77/odm4k.html ; I would greatly appreciate your help in making this – your manual – more complete. The manual works best if it is done with family rather than just read. It should take 7 to 10 weeks of interesting study and investigation to complete the manual - but it will be well worth the effort!
