Session 3:  Day 8  Moved on to Hallucinogens.  Learned what a "trip" was - yes, it's much like a dream, except you are not asleep!  Also learned what a "flashback" was and the extreme danger of these chemicals being stored in the brain and becoming active at any unexpected time.

After our discussion about hallucinogens, I had the opportunity to share with the guys that not many people try this type of drug, because it seems so extremely dangerous.  I really tried to drive home the point to them that people don't begin using such a serious type of drug.  When someone moves into such serious drug use, it's because they took the first drink, which led to the first time being "drunk", which led to . . .  Or took that first puff of a cigarette, which led to that first puff of marijuana, which led to . . .

Most people begin using drugs as recreation, not everyone moves from recreation to addiction.  BUT SOME DO.  It is my prayer, that no more of my students will suffer from addiction.  I also pray that the LORD will allow the spirits of these guys to be quick to follow Him so that He can provide the surest and most effective defense against drug addiction.

Please see the packet of brochures that your son should have brought home today.  We concluded  discussions on our final day with looking at what God's Word says concerning drug use.  May you and your son have many discussions in the future addressing this serious issue in the life of a young person.  Godspeed!
