It is very important for parents to know the signs that they should be looking out for in their child if they suspect that that their child is doing drugs of which they will be able to help the child before he/she becomes an addict that might ruin his/her entire life.
The large percentage of drugs can be identified by the state of the eyes like when someone takes cocaine or marijuana their eye pupil tend to enlarge and becomes bigger than it usually be and if a person uses heroin his/her eye pupils will shrink so parents can just look into their kid’s eyes and thy will know. Smell is another way of telling that your child is doing drug so if you suspect that your child is on drugs you ca just smell their clothes or even go to their cars because drugs like marijuana and alcohol usually have this awful smell that does not go away very easily so you can be able to tell which kind of drug is your child using.
