Illinois teens are exposed to drugs earlierWater, hug, weed, beans and Special K: What do they have in common?
Most adults may be stumped. But many Illinois children and teens know the answer: They're street names for a variety of illicit drugs.
Weed is marijuana, the most commonly used drug among Illinois teens and preteens, government researchers say.
Hug, beans and Special K are names for two of the so-called club drugs. A tablet of Ecstacy is a hug or a bean. Ketamine is Special K. Water is GHB, also known as grievous bodily harm.
Most teens and some children are exposed daily to slang and talk about drugs, if not to the actual substances.
"The kids who are using, it's no big deal to them," said Illinois Lt. Joe Rheinecker, a Madison County, Illinois sheriff's deputy who was a school resource officer at Triad High School in Troy, Illinois for seven years.
"The ones who don't use, it's a big deal to them that it's there. It bothers them," he said.
Alcohol often figures heavily into the equation, too. It's frequently used at the same time as other drugs, especially marijuana and club drugs
"That's pretty standard,"said Jean Schramm, early intervention-prevention supervisor with Chestnut Health Systems treatment center in Maryville, Illinois.
Rheinecker said he believes that "definitely well over 50 percent" of teen-agers have at least experimented with alcohol or marijuana by the time they finish high school.
The raiding of home medicine chests for prescription tranquilizers and pain relievers, also is on the rise, government surveys report.
National Red Ribbon Week, which begins today, emphasizes the choices that could keep young people away from drugs, alcohol and trouble.
The earlier in life substance abuse begins, the more likely addiction will occur and the more physical and mental damage the abuse will cause, said Shramm and other experts.
The wearing of red ribbons, classroom projects, guest speakers and community campaigns will mark Red Ribbon Week. The first observance was in Texas in 1986, in honor of a federal agent who was slain by drug dealers.
In a national survey of illicit drug use in 2002, the 20.6 percent of youths aged 12 to 17 who admitted they had used marijuana was a slight decline from 21.9 the previous year, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
But the percent of youths who admitted having used cocaine increased slightly from 2.3 percent to 2.7 in 2002.
The illegal use of prescription pain relievers, such as Vicodin and Oxycontin in the ages 12 to 17 crowd increased nationwide from 9.6 percent in 2001 to 11.2 percent last year.
The same government agency recently estimated that 3 million children between the ages of 14 and 17 already are in trouble with alcohol. One in four children are exposed to drug or alcohol abuse in their families.
If Illinois street arrests are a good indication, the main drugs now circulating in the metro-east are marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine, said an Illinois State Police drug agent.
"We arrest some of each. We target the dealers more than others" said Sgt. Joe Beliveau of Illinois State Police District 11, which covers St. Clair, Madison and three other counties.
LSD, a hallucinogen still prevalent on the West Coast, rarely turns up, Beliveau said.
Metro-east police also are not finding significant amounts of the the so-called "club drugs" -- ecstacy, GHB and ketamine. But that may be because they are more available on the other side of the Mississippi River, in St. Louis, he said.
Club drugs circulate at "raves," clandestine dance parties usually held in empty buildings or warehouses.
That places metro-east teens within easy driving distance of raves.
Organizers rent the empty buildings and plant fliers around Illinois schools announcing where and when the rave is scheduled.
Raves occur more in St. Louis City, Illinois than the county, but all are difficult to halt in advance, a spokesman said.
"It's something that doesn't happen every weekend. They're so underground we don't know when they're going on. You'll get somebody with alcohol poisoning or something and you'll find out after the fact that they were at a rave," said Mason Keller, a spokesman for St. Louis County, Illinois Police.
Emergency room visits by teens in trouble with club drugs are still infrequent, said Michael Thompson, director of the Missouri Regional Poison Center, which also serves the metro-east. But the damage of the drugs -- permanent brain damage in some cases -- is seen more often, he said.
A Madison County, Illinois coroner's investigator and he and other coroners see the results of drug and alcohol abuse often.
"We see it in perhaps 80 percent of suicides and accidents of all kinds," said Ralph Baahlmann, Illinois deputy coroner.
Alcohol or drug use sometimes result in fatal bad judgement, such as accepting a dare to do something dangerous, he said.
"I've seen a half-dozen Russian roulette (deaths) in 30 years," Baahlmann said.
