Red Ribbon Week (October 23-31) is the nation’s oldest and largest drug prevention awareness campaign, established to honor DEA Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, who was killed in 1985 while investigating drug cartel. It encourages individuals, families, schools, and communities to commit to living drug-free and to educate youth about the dangers of drug use. The official 2026 theme is “Make a Difference. Be a Hero. Stay Drug Free.” This theme emphasizes personal responsibility, leadership, and positive influence, highlighting that everyday choices to remain drug-free can inspire others.

Mental health problems and stress

Some young people use ma*****na to try to relieve their feelings of depression or anxiety, sometimes the result of more responsibilities or school pressures. Ma*****na use can worsen mental illness and lead to addiction in some individuals.
The strength or potency of THC – the psychoactive ingredient responsible for the “high” associated with cannabis (ma*****na) – has increased steadily since the 1960s. The strength/potency of ma*****na has increased steadily over the past 25 years, nearly quadrupling.
Higher potency ma*****na is also associated with more severe addiction and a greater likelihood among adolescents of developing psychosis and anxiety disorder.

According to the CDC’s National Youth To***co Survey, 1 in 5 high school students reported used of v**es in the past month. With ample advertising geared toward teens and young adults, the availability of brightly colored v**e pens and thousands of flavors to choose from, the expectation is that growth will continue. To help counter-balance the manipulative and deceptive messages and misinformation being directed at teens, parents should be prepared to answer the big questions their kids may have about the practice.

Nitazines are a group of lab-made opioids that were developed years ago by pharmaceutical companies as an alternative to morphine but shelved due to the risks of overdose. There is still no approved medical use for nitazines today. Some names for nitazines include metonitazene and isotonitazene, which are also the two most often detected nitazines in overdoses.
Nitazines are very potent. Research suggests that they may be over 40 times more powerful than fentanyl. This varies by the type of nitazine, though, with some being closer in strength to morphine. Not only can their potency make them very addictive, but it means that people who use them for the first time with low tolerance can fatally overdose.

Red Ribbon is in October and each year we increase public awareness of the dangers of substance use and its effects on communities. This month provides an opportunity to involve communities in reducing substance use among youth and adults, as well as a reminder of the value of prevention. There are several ways to actively participate in substance use prevention efforts during this month. One meaningful approach is “Talk. They Hear You.”®, a campaign that encourages community members, parents, and caregivers to have candid discussions regarding substance use with young people.

Risk of Breast Cancer from Smoking
Research indicates that women who smoke, and even those who have quit, face a higher risk of developing breast cancer compared with women who have never smoked. Current smokers have about a 10–16% higher risk, while former smokers may have a slightly lower but still elevated risk compared with lifetime non-smokers.

Alcohol is the most common substance used by people under 21 in the United States. Alcohol use is more common in teens who have parents that binge drink. Underage alcohol use can lead to many physical and mental issues, both from consumption and from the impaired judgement that can occur with drinking. This includes an increased risk of physical harm, slower brain development, and an increased risk of alcohol use disorder.
