Guest lecture by former drug addicts: effective prevention against crystal meth in schools

crystal meth: consumption in Germany at worrying level

The spread of crystal meth in Germany, especially in the cities of Dresden and Chemnitz, reaches high -level highs across Europe. This emerges from current studies that indicate a worrying increase in the consumption of this dangerous substance.

experts warn of the far -reaching health and social consequences that the consumption of crystal meth brings. In addition to acute health risks, the drug also has the risk of serious social problems because it can lead to criminal behavior and considerable personal difficulties.

prevention work as a protective measure

The need for increased prevention measures is emphasized by researchers, which, however, indicate that conventional methods may not be sufficient to prevent young people from taking crystal meth. Christoph Meißelbach, expert in addiction prevention, explains that shocking young people may not achieve the desired effect through drastic pictures.

Meißelbach suggests inviting former drug addicts in schools in order to bring their experiences and the negative consequences of drug use closer to the students. Through authentic insights into the life of former addicts, young people could rather be moved to resist the temptations of crystal meth.

The fight against crystal-methh consumption therefore requires a holistic approach, prevention, education and support for those affected. Only through a comprehensive and targeted strategy can the dangerous spread of this substance effectively counteract.
