...innocence is moving lower, into junior high schools and occasional grade schools, where youngsters seeking ersatz maturity even gulp codeine-laden cough medicine. (Glue sniffing is expected to decline as word gets out that the largest maker of model-airplane glue is adding sickening mustard fumes to its product's aroma.) Washington's District of Columbia Addiction Center has uncovered pot users as young as eight years...
...trip [frightening experience]. I had to take a six-hour bus ride and then a plane. I took about 550 seeds just before the bus left. A lot of kids from school on the bus were stoned too.

Most children receive a booster shot a year later. Many get additional tetanus toxoid boosters in school or college-and, of course, in the armed forces...
