I thought at least steroids would have gone up more; that’s interesting.
Is it just because they’re at home on their phones? They’re not drinking either.

Interesting to see how those utterly terrifying adverts in the 90s really stopped everyone taking heroine. That and watching trainspotting.
They should probably do something similar for ketamine.

Idk what the reasons are, but one good thing about teens sitting at home occupied by video games, is they’re not just bored on the streets getting offered drugs, and accepting them because they’re bored.
And also education probably helps. I think a lot more teens and young adults are more aware of the risks of drug taking
