| The
legalization of drugs is one of the few political issues for youth that
gets coverage in the news. In referendums in different states a vocal
segment of youth strongly advocate for the liberalization of drug policies
in America. In Los Angeles during the Democratic Convention, an
alternative convention was held that declared we lost the drug war and
called for changes in the government |
| It remains
unclear what the majority of the generation thinks about this issue, but
it is obviously up for debate. While fewer underage kids are drinking and
regularly abusing drugs than previous decades, marijuana and ecstasy
(among other drugs) are common and socially acceptable. |
|
| We
have also heard people say everything from Millennials will redefine what
are and are not acceptable drugs for all of society to the belief that
this overachieving generation treats their bodies like temples and tobacco
and liquor companies will soon be on the run. |

Please tell
us your thoughts about the generation's (& your personal) attitude
towards drugs. If you
have seen newspaper articles, or read interesting stats, then forward them
our way and we will be sure to include them in the book.
If you are a part of the
Millennial Generation, tell me how you would change drugs laws and
policies in the country.
If you are
not part of the Millennial Generation, please tell me your thoughts about
the drug war and youth substance abuse. |
