Malibu Parents and Officials Strive to Combat Teen Drug Abuse

According to a story published this week in the Malibu Times, Malibu parents and officials are exploring new ways to combat teen drug abuse in the area. Many cite the lack of activities for youth as a contributing factor to increasing rates of drug teen drug abuse.

Some Malibu residents are calling drug use among area high school students an epidemic. Two students, interviewed anonymously by the Malibu Times, reported easily obtaining drugs on campus and doing the drugs while at school. One of the students said that drugs were "easy to supply, easy to get, and easy to do" at school. The two students reported knowing of at least five drug dealers at the high school.
