"We live in a drug loving soci- ety, we are having a love-affair with drugs," he began. B Mr. ayier began hig spoech y taking everyone bac their chilghood, where the of drugs, was first affirmed, by our parents. Mr. Clavier ex- plained this by saying when a child cuts himself, he puts his illicit trust in mom to fix it. A medicine, or lotion is placed on the wound, and the child feels better. After this moment, he knows if he hurts, he has used these drugs to feel better, he has been told to use it, and he Khows it works so, why not use 1 "We are convinced in society that there is no discomfort that has to be endured, and are led to believe through advertising if you don't use these medica- tions, you are missing the point, something is wrong with you," he said. The point Mr. Clavier was coming to with the childhood story, was that society places the assumption on people that when one has a pain, to take a drug. This is put in a child's mind, and later in life he de- cides that the pain of discou- ragement,- lonliness, and de- pression, hurts too much, and e needs a drug to get through the ache. - He continued by saying that when teaching children, and adolescents, one should teach them not only about drugs, but of the probability, statistics, and the principles of A JM out the. validity of what you are saying, before you make the rules, " he said. There are three groups of drugs that Mr. Clavier dis- cussed. The first group are the downers, the Central Nervous System depressants. is the group where the one drug lies, that is responsi- ble for more deaths, property damage, job loss, more dollars nt in the legal m, then 1 drugs poke rob and that drugis alcohol," he said. Tt(alcohol) is a mind- altering, addictive neurotoxin, and the fact that itis referred to 3.

The Central cortex of the brain is the part that controls the inhibitions of a person. When alcohol enters the sys- tem, alcohol depresses this cor- tex, and one tends to ignore the inhibitions. This is what poses the great- est problem for teenagers. "Without alcohol at a party, there is no guarantee for fun. With alcohol they can do things they wouldn't without it. They tend to think that with alcohol, there is a guarantee of a: time, whether or not they make social points. They don't need more stress, and pressures, and tobe at a party without alcohol, the inhibitions are not de- pressed, so they can overcome shyness, and 'this adds more stress. Uppers are the second group and are Central Nervous Sys- tem stimulants such as cocaine, crack, amphetimines, and nico- tine. The compulsion stimulat- ed by these drugs amazingly overridesintelligence. The fourth group are Hallu- cinogenics s as LSD, mari- juana, angel dust, and ecstasy. "These create illusions. You are placed in a world of subjec- tive reality, when you are really inobjective reality," he said. Mr. Clavier stated there are three questions one should ask when analyzing one's own drinking habits. One being if anyone blood related is a known alcoholic, or who you be- lieve is one. If the answer is yes be careful, this is strike one. Did you like the taste of the first drink of beer? Those who did often found themselves in groups labelled alcoholics, this is strike two. Those who may drink beer now but did not like it at first taste, tend not to be in groups labelled alcoholics. The third is people tend to admire someone who can hold their liq- uor. Don't want to be like them. If you can hold your liquor, this isstrike 3, and you are out.

There will be in-service meetings on sub- stance abuse. Representatives from different divisions will be sent to learn, and go back as trainers to the system, to share their knowledge within each school system.
