Hi all,


I volunteer for an organisation called Drugsand.me and we run workshops for parents of teenagers who are wondering how to speak to their kids about drugs.


I grew up in E Dulwich myself and from my experience growing up in London I was exposed to drugs like cigarettes, weed and alcohol much earlier than might have been the case had I grown up outside of the city. Luckily I had an open and honest relationship with my parents which meant that I could talk to them about these experiences and navigate a safe path through this difficult landscape. This event focuses specifically on techniques and ways of talking to young people, so as to open a dialogue and empower them to make informed and educated decisions.


The event is only ?7 for a two hour workshop so is really good value for money!


Link to the event is below, please let me know if you have any questions. [email protected].

From my experience late teenagers may well know more than there parents. It is good what you are doing but I would not make out this is a London or city problem. There are loads of good infographics on the net - this one shows high use of speed in Wales, vs e in London https://www.indy100.com/article/the-map-of-england-and-wales-by-drug-of-preference--bkeS7SJxxvZ


Cannabis use highest in the West Country https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/749806/Drug-use-UK-West-country-cannabis-capital-London-cocaine-ecstasy


Although this one suggests coke is the choice of the big Cities: https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymouth-news/drugs-map-uk-reveals-plymouths-1093147


Thanks for distracting me from politics. I wonder what was said in the Queens Speech about tackling drug use. Oh no, I've relapsed. Give me some mind altering chemicals now.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
