Instructional Ideas
- Before conducting the lesson, determine the support systems available on campus and in the community
- Because the presentation reflects Irish law, have groups investigate the classification of and the penalties for the use and possession of the drugs mentioned in the presentation in their area
Classroom Considerations
- The series presumes that a protocol has been established that permits a safe and respectful discussion of highly-charged issues
- The definitions, classifications, and drug laws described in the PowerPoint presentation reflect Irish law
Pros

Cons
