FOR VETERANS DAY.
40s ON THURSDAY WITH SUNNY
SKIES, LOOK AT THE WEEKEND,
PRETTY NICE GETTING INTO THE
50s AND 60s.
COOLER AS WE HEAD TOWARD NEXT
WEEK BUT WE STAY PRETTY DRY.
NOT TOO BAD.
COLORADO SCHOOL RESOURCE
OFFICERS SAY NOW MORE THAN EVER
KEEPING DRUGS OUT OF SCHOOLS
HAS BECOME A REAL CHALLENGE
ESPECIALLY WITH MARIJUANA.
YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED BY
CRAFTY WAYS KIDS ARE HIDING
DRUGS.
OUR JENNIFER BRICE  TOOK A
LOOK.
DRUG OF CHOICE WAS ALCOHOL,
COCAINE AND METHAMPHETAMINE.
Reporter: THESE RECOVERY
ADDICTS --
I FIRST USED ALCOHOL WHEN I
WAS 9.   Reporter: HAVE DONE
ALL AND HIDDEN DRUGS IN PLACES
YOU MIGHT NEVER IMAGINE.
ONSHORE OPENERS.
INSIDE OF BOOKS.
NO ONE WHIPPING TO GO INTO A
BOX OF TAMPONS AND LOOK FOR
DRUGS.
I WOULD KEEP A SHEET OF ACID
BECAUSE I WOULD SELL IT AND
OUTPUT A BEHIND THE ICE.
Reporter: ERIC LAP, WENDY
STEIN AND BEN FORD  ARE NOT ONLY
RECOVERING ADDICTS BUT THEY WORK
IN THE DRUG TREATMENT INDUSTRY.
THEY ENCOURAGE PARENTS TO KEEP
INFORMED ABOUT DRUG TRENDS.
WE TALKED TO DENVER HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS WHO SAY EVERY
SUBSTANCE IMAGINABLE CAN BE
FOUND IN SCHOOL AND WELL
HIDDEN.
WHEN I'M SMOKING WEED, YOU
TAKE YOUR BACKPACK AND YOU CUT
IT RIGHT HERE AND THEN YOU PUT
YOUR WEED IN THERE.
THEY TAKE THE BATTERIES OUT
OF FLASHLIGHTS AND HIDE DRUGS
IN FLASHLIGHTS.
THEY HIDE THEM IN LARGE HOURS,
SOCK DRAWERS, UNDERWEAR
DRAWERS, REMOTES, BEHIND
COUCHES.
UNDER COUCHES.
Reporter: WE FOUND EVERYDAY
ITEMS MANIPULATED INTO DRUG
SAVES THAT YOU CAN FIND AT HEAD
SHOPS AND ONLINE.
COKE BOTTLES, CLEANING SUPPLY
CANS, EVEN HIGHLIGHTERS AND
BRACELETS THAT ARE SMOKING
PIPES.
SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS THEY
TAKE DRUG STASHES FROM STUDENTS
WEEKLY.
CONTAINERS, THE RIM OF THE
CAP.
IS NOT SURPRISING BECAUSE IT'S
A REFLECTION OF WHERE WE ARE AT
IN COLORADO.
Reporter: SERGEANT TIM REID
RUNS A SOURCE OF SCHOOL
RESOURCE OFFICERS IN ADAMS
COUNTY.
HE ENCOURAGES PARENTS TO KNOW
WHAT DRUGS LOOK LIKE, COCAINE,
ECSTASY, POT AND MANY MORE.
ALSO TO NOTE THAT ITEMS
ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR USE ALONG
WITH CREATIVE WAYS KIDS HIDE
THE DRUGS.
ADDICTS WILL TELL YOU, DON'T BE
AFRAID TO CONFRONT YOUR KIDS.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO CONFRONT
THEM ON WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO TELL THEM
THE TRUTH.
IF YOU SUSPECT FOR THEM NOT
TO DO THAT IS WAITING FOR
SOMETHING BAD TO HAPPEN.
PARENTS NEED TO ASK
THEMSELVES HARD QUESTIONS ABOUT
THEIR OWN USE OF A SUBSTANCE
THAT THEY NOW FEEL LIKE THEY
CAN USE WITH TOTAL IMPUNITY,
LIKE, YOUR KIDS ARE WATCHING,
PARENTS.
