Methamphetamine, or crystal meth, is a dangerous, highly addictive drug

Methamphetamine, or crystal meth, is a dangerous, highly addictive drug. It's cheap, widely available and making inroads among young people. Sooner or later, your kids could be asked to try it.
When that happens, you want them to be able to say a firm "no" to this dangerous drug. Your opinion is going to make a big difference for them. Knowing where you stand can give them the confidence - and the facts - they need to make the right choice.

As one parent put it - "Where would I rather my daughter got her information about crystal meth? From someone trying to sell it to her or from me?"

Studies consistently show that kids whose parents talk to them about the dangers of drugs are significantly less likely to use illicit drugs than kids whose parents do not.

You don't need to be an expert to start a conversation

You can make the conversation as casual as you want. You don't need to have all the facts; looking up the answer to your kids' questions together can be a helpful part of the process.

The important thing is to be honest about how you feel and to communicate a message clearly:

Crystal meth is a dangerous, addictive drug that can do permanent damage. I don't want you using it because I love you and I care what happens to you.

This can be the first of many ongoing conversations you have with your kids about crystal meth and other drugs over the coming months and years.
