Just recently I had an experience in the ER that wasn't good. I went to th ER for pain in my leggs and was given 1000mg of a narcotic called vicotin. I had a very bad reaction to this drug. I was hallucinating, vomitting, climbing the wall. I was out of it for three days.
I went to school under the assumption that my students would know nothing about this powerful drug, and that we would have a discussion about drugs specifically pills and why they should be careful when they are out not to be influenced by peer pressure to take pills. Well to my surprise, they knew plenty about this pill and others as well. I just asked a question. "How many of you know something about pills?" They named pills and their doses and what makes them work and what they sell for on the street. I was told that the pill I was given sells for $25 a pill. I assumed they would know the basics about drugs but I was really blown away to find out the knowledge they had about pills.
I know these young people are knowledgeable about most things, but the discussion about the possibilities of not returning to your right mind after taking certain meds is possible. I asked another Question. "How many of you know someone that's not in their right mind after taking drugs?" and plenty of them raised their hands. Please help me to make student aware of the dangers of taking perscription drugs. Please respond.
You might can goggle some lesson plans about the effects of prescription drugs. I know there was this commercial about a student being a drug dealer from his parents medicine cabinet. I found this wehttp://school.discoveryeducation.com/lessonplans/programs/prescriptionForTrouble/bsite for you
