Kids know a lot more about drugs than most adults realize. Some of their information is accurate, but a lot isn't. Young children need to know the difference between legal drugs used for medical purposes and those that someone hands you to try to feel different. They need to learn about making good choices that help them stay healthy and safe. They also need accurate information about illegal drugs (including alcohol and tobacco, which are illegal for kids!)

The following websites are designed to be informative and interactive to teach kids about the REAL consequences of using illegal substances. Explore them and share them with your children.
