A Virtual Candy Store

I coach JV football, so for 2 excruciating hours a day I'm around 14-15 year olds, and I remember how I acted at that age, so I let a lot of things slide.
But today i had something brought to my attention about my Alma Matter that blew me off my feet, I don't really remember how the conversation came about.
I was talking to one of my newer offensive linemen and one of our wide receivers and they told me that Woodland High was like a grocery store of drugs, not only in reference to how easy it is to get them but in variety.
Now I wasn't exactly in the "loop" when i was in high school when it came to drugs but I don't remember it being as big of an issue. Drinking, sure, we live in a town where drinking is one of the few things people can do, drinking isn't really on the radar. That's mostly due to the fact that meth has rapidly worked its way into the schools.
Yes, METH, and it's not alone. I was talking to my players and they mentioned someone who was a good player last season, so I naturally ask "Where's he at now? Why isn't he playing?" They slapped me with, "He got expelled for trying to do ecstasy during class."
I remember school being boring, but not so bad that i would feel the need to pop ecstasy to keep it interesting. Now thinking about it there isn't much the schools can do either, theirs already a Zero Tolerance policy. That's only really for the kids who get caught though, if a teacher is suspicious of a student there is a huge risk in accusing a student, mostly due to fear of a lawsuit.
It just seems like a joke to me, we complain about crime, the economy and the housing market, while the FUTURE OF AMERICA is frying their brains for a high.
Thoughts?
