When i was about 10 i saw on the bench a syringe (with no needle) that my mum had been using to squirt medicine into my baby sisters mouth, we had recently had a drug talk at school so i thought my mum was a drug addict...i seriously panicked.

I was in kindergarten when the "Don't Use Drugs" campaign was a national craze in public schools. In one of our weekly "drug education" sessions, my teacher told us something about a drug called "ice" that could kill you if you took it. I don't know why my rural elementary school felt the need to educate five-year-olds about the various names of street drugs, but from then on I thought that consuming frozen water would kill me. I think I had gone through half of the school year before my mom figured out why I was afraid of ice cubes.

I used to get LSD and STDs confused!! So one day we had an AIDS prevention lesson at school, and the teacher said "AIDS is an STD" I immediatley raised my hand (I was very proud to know what LSD was) and said "My dad told me that people in the 60's had STDs and they would see stuff and then write songs about them." The teacher was very confused.

I used to think that if someone gave you acid, you could completely counter the effects by taking an antacid.

i used to think (in like, 5th grade)that when you were "stoned" because of drugs that meant that your drug dealer would throw rocks at you because you hadnt payed him. haha.

[s][t][u][p][i][d][i][t][y]...my anti drug.

When I was little I thought that illegal drugs must be all kinds of fun flavors. Because why else would people want to take them?

When I was in kindergarten, we had an "anti-drugs" day. I thought my sign was the best in the class. What did it say?
"Don't do AIDS."

When I was younger my Father would let me watch a show, America's Most Wanted. They did one episode about heroin and how bad it was. Well, later that night I was laying in bed thinking about heroin when I decided I needed a glass of water. I jump off my bed and feel a prick on my foot. I FREAKED OUT. Leaped back onto my bed, shouting and screaming because I thought there were people under the floor sticking needles up through my carpet to inject me with heroin. After that I'd wear sneakers all the time, afraid that if I didn't I'd be injected with heroin and become an addict.

Awesome.

At my high school there was a sign saying "Drug Free Zone" and I thought it meant you could get free drugs at the school (I was probably 7 or 8) and I still thought it was weird that the police didn't like come to arrest the drug dealers every day!

when i was little, the first time i had heard about "crack" was when i was 7 years old. well.. one day i was in a store, this man said"give me some crack" i was thinking that the two men would go into the bathroom and stiff eack others crack to get high. later years i learned that" crack kills"

In 6th grade, we took a survey about drugs and alcohol. They were questions like "Have you ever been to a party and drunk alcohol?" and answers were like "a, never; b, once; c; several times" etc. One of the questions was "Have you ever used LSD?" and, thinking LSD was "Legally Sold Drugs" I said "several times" and for the "if yes" question I put "once a week or more".

When I was in kindergarten I saw the this is your brain on drugs commercial. (The one with egg in the frying pan) well, one morning my mom made me scrambled eggs for breakfast. I went to school and told my teacher that my mom had made me eat drugs for breakfast. Well, my mom got called to the school and to explain about the commercial and how I had eggs for breakfast.
