Drug education

Drug education is when someone learns about drugs and the risks involved in taking them. Drug education can help people make good decisions about drugs, like whether or not to take drugs, or if they do take drugs, to use them safely. This kind of education usually comes from teachers, counselors, or parents and can include things like talking about why people take drugs, what the different kinds of drugs are, and how drugs can affect you. It can also include how to choose not to take drugs and how to help friends who may be using drugs. Learning about drugs can help people to make good choices and keep themselves safe.
