What is a good way to create a good campaign against drug abuse in schools?

Question by carleon01: What is a good way to create a good campaign against drug abuse in schools?
I am a Filipino Volunteer sent by Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO, www.vso.org.uk) to work in an organization called Friends of the MIND or FOM (www.friendsofthemind.com).

FOM is an NGO based in Peshawar, NWFP in Pakistan, working for the welfare of the mentally ill patients of Government Mental Hospital Peshawar (GMHP) and in the fight against drug/substance abuse.

Answer by Mr. Wizard
If they haven’t already, I’d find someone-experienced in documentary filmaking-to photo document the life of a teen drug addict. The subject(s) can graphically tell, without “sanitized” clean up, how messed up their lives have become, how hard each day is to fight the addiction….and also show a few who lose such battles.

Have the subject(s) make it clear to each student audience this COULD be them if they cross the line and use illegal addicting drugs.

What does it take to commit someone into rehab???

Question by *Fickle Pickle*: What does it take to commit someone into rehab???
My sister is out of control (drug related) and my Mom wants to have her committed. She has no children & no husband. She is 27 yrs old. Can my Mom commit her w/out her being able to check herself out??? How does that work????

Best answer:

Answer by mapy455
She can be PC’d (protected custody) for a certain amount of time, but she would have to commit (section 12) herself. The only way to commit another adult is to go through the time consuming process of proving their incompetance and that they are a danger to themselves and the community through the court of law.

Main reason is because AS OF JULY 27TH MEDICAL MARIJUANA IS LEGAL IN DC YEAAAHH

Best answer:

Answer by DON W
For routine matters, the answer is yes.

For medical marijuana, forget about it. It won’t be legal in Virginia, and a DC doctor won’t be able to prescribe it for a Virginia resident. And even for DC residents the monitoring will be very close: only a very small number of people with long-standing ailments for which marijuana treatments can be effective are likely to be able to get such drugs–and they will have to pick them up from special centers, not from the corner pharmacy.
