Widespread Use
Drug use by Americans is extensive and crosses all age, gender, ethnic and cultural groups.
The variety and complexity of drugs underscores the need for age and experience appropriate education; preparing individuals for the decisions they need to make throughout their lives.
The Drug Consumer Safety Rules provided are effective with all types of drugs available today.
Drug Deaths
Drug Education and Information efforts need to focus on the areas where there is the greatest public threat.
CDE-Center education and training places strong emphasis on the drugs that cause the overwhelming amounts of mortality and morbidity.
Current drug education efforts focus almost exclusively on illegal drugs, and rarely educate on where harm and death is most likely to occur.

Drug Harm
Extensive harm and cost is incurred when a large Drug Technology is made available without education or instruction.
CDE-Center education and training modules emphasize Drug Consumer Safety Rules that allow for responsible decision-making to minimize mortality and morbidity with all drugs.
Drug Education
Current programs to reduce drug use and misuse are primarily directed toward illegal drugs.

This ignores the realities on the ground of the drugs being used, and where harm and death are occurring in the greatest numbers.
In short, current efforts are merely whistling past the graveyard.
