That is their problem. Everyone has access to an education--and everybody gets drug education in school. Everyone. If you buy the ticket, you take the ride. If you are willing to ingest a drug, knowing that their are potential health risks, you accept the consequences. Being dumb is not an excuse. And if it is, then it's Darwinism at its finest. We don't need people procreating who cannot grasp this concept.

Did you know there are 3 murders per year?
54 rapes?
73 Robberies?
132 assaults?
3148 property crimes?
2 per year is hardly noteworthy.
I think our limited funds are put to far better use.

A student dies from prescription, illicit or over the counter drug overdose every 5.5 months in Chico and you think property crimes should take priority????? You need to move away from those high voltage lines over your house, the sooner the better

Well, you think one in every 5.5 months is a big deal, but i'm pointing out things that happen far more often than that.
murder, one ever 4 months.
rape: 4.5 per month
robbery: 6 per month
assault: 11 per month
but conveniently glossed that over didn't you?
i'm far more worried about crimes committed against other people than some moron kid who ends up making the ultimate oopsie with some drugs.

You said "everybody gets drug education in school.". WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! The majority of drug education provided by schools today from K through college is a apparition of political well being portrayed to the general public as overwhelming and effective.
In reality it is minimal a best, concentrated more toward at risk students who already use, ignored by administrators as unnecessary, and what is provided is so dated and poorly taught students gain nothing from the course.
The powers to be though have done their job with the general public you included because your assumption that "everybody gets drug education in school." is believed by most. It is much easier to ignore the problem when someone else is failing to intervene as they should. Problem solved. WRONG!

Drugs are cool. Don't you read the News and Review? Didn't your hipster teachers ever make double entendre jokes about smoking weed? Don't you ever read about the cool people in Hollywood doing drugs? Don't you listen to the music? Now show an anti drug movie with the production values of a 6th grade film class and watch the kids laugh.

Are you kidding me?!?! From the time we are little kids, we are barraged with the notion that drugs are bad. You are enabling the very people you wish to help by using a lack of education as an excuse. It's a piss-poor excuse and you should be ashamed of yourself for thinking that people are SO DUMB that they don't know drugs are bad.

How about 16,000 deaths a year from prescription drugs and over half of them are moron adults. One thing that should make you happy that national homicides still lead by a thousand deaths each year. These drugs a peddled by your favorite doctor, advertised by your favorite television station and kills someones favorite child. Morons come in many forms, some never understand the impact of losing a child or loved one to drugs. Some morons never understand real reasons why thousands die annually and millions become addicted annually and government keeps doing what it has been doing for decades. Classifying someone who has died from a drug overdose as a moron says more about you than anything I can say.

Please quit using the word "Coed" in your headlines. It is sexist and antiquated. "Student" works just fine.

16k a year nation wide?
If you want to start a crusade, why don't you take up the banner and try and fix something some people have no control over?
Heart disease: 631 thousand per year
Cancer: 560 thousand per year
Stroke: 130 thousand per year
flu and pneumonia: 56 thousand per year
And we're supposed to get up in arms over something that is a CHOICE? Taking drugs is a choice. Being a moron should come with consequences.
