Wednesday, May 24, 1989 TERRACE BAY/SCHREIBER NEWS Page 13 Drug use on the increase - RCMP By Dave Chmara "You don't know what you're getting when you buy drugs," was just one of the hard hitting mes- sages given by R.C.M.P. Sergeant Ben Jenkins during presentations to local students last week. As part of Police Weck, vari- ous police forces were on hand at the Terrace Bay Curling Club to give presentations and do some public relations work with stu- dents. Jenkins has been with the R.C.M.P. for 22 years. During that time he spent 18 years with the drug enforcement branch, 18 months of which he spent under cover. For the past four years, Jenkins has been with the Drug Awareness Program for the Ontario branch of the R.C.M.P. During his presentations to students, he told them drug push- ers will cut drugs with anything from manure to strychnine in order to increase the amount of drug they sell, and thereby increasing their profits. He also noted there are 421 different chemicals in cannabis products. When heat is added to cannabis, the amount of chemi- cals increases to over 4,000. . Jenkins said these chemicals affect the brain, lungs, nervous system and reproductive organs. Co-ordination, memory, percep- tion and motivation are all affect- ed by using drugs. During his presentations, Jenkins asked students what drugs are available in Terrace Bay. Invariably, the same answers were given: marijuana, hash, cocaine and LSD (acid) were the drugs which students said arc available in town. "People don't use drugs Chief of the Terrace Bay. Police, Don Kidder, introduces Sergeant Ben Jenkins to students from St. Martin school. Jenkins gave presentations to local students about drugs during Police Week. because they personally don't want to - not because the police say not too," said Jenkins. He said people choose not to use drugs because of the affects they can have on your body and because of the consequences involved with being caught with 'drugs. "Some jobs require blood and or-urine tests before hiring," said Jenkins. "If you're caught, it can shut the doors in the future," he said. A drug record will cancel your chances of having a career with the police, army or becoming a doctor, said Jenkins. Jenkins said drug use in on the increase. He noted that communities such as Terrace Bay, which have people making good moncy, and with an availability of drugs, Icads to the increase of drug use.
