SPOILER ALERT: NO! Today’s Awkward Conversation isfocusing on drug use prevention among college students.   We have Full House and FullerHouse star, Jodie Sweetin guiding the conversation along with Amy McCarthy, Clinical Social Worker at Boston Children’s Hospital and Rich Lucey, who is the Senior Prevention Program Manager of the Community Outreach and Prevention Support section for the Drug Enforcement Administration. They are joined by Sally Linowski, who is the Associate Dean of Students for Off Campus Student Life and Community Engagement at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and recent college graduate, Seychelles Mizel. They start their discussion with the four main reasons that students experiment with drugs and how college presents new opportunities for drug use. This is an important conversation about preventing drug misuse among college students, which is a critical issue to talk about with your kids before they go to school. IN THIS EPISODE: [01:29] Four main reasons for drug experimentation[04:08] The college experience and the pressures that kids face related to drug use[08:30] One pill can kill: the growing problem of fake medication[10:20] How and when should parents start having conversations about drug use prevention[15:21] Ways freshmen can get make friends at school without the party scene KEY TAKEAWAYS: The first six weeks on campus are typically the most at risk for new college students to experiment with drugs because it is the first time away from home and they're no longer under any form of parental influence.For marijuana use, the perceived risk of harm for 18- to 22- year- olds is only at 21%. Meaning, only 21% see any risk in using marijuana.The prescription drug class most misused by college students are non-medical prescription stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin. This is where students run into the issue of taking fake pills and is the reason why we are seeing more overdoses across the country.   Resources:   Growing Up Drug Free: A Parent's Guide to Substance Use Prevention   Campus Drug Prevention One Pill Could Kill Never Thought I’d Say This Podcast with Jodie Sweetin     BIO:   Jodie Sweetin is an American actress and television personality known for her role as Stephanie Tanner in the ABC comedy series Full House and its Netflix sequel series Fuller House.
