    I mean as cliche as this seems to be an an answer, I think the best solution is to not try them in the first place. You can’t lose if you never play the game.

      Yeah. It’s weird that just saying “no” really is the best move. We just shouldn’t count on it when teaching kids about substance abuse.

      Just like with abstinence-only sex education, basing the entire strategy around just one method of preventing an unwanted outcome is dumb.
