Store drugs and alcohol safely at home
Many youth report that home is where they find and try out substances. If you share a home with young people, you can prevent accidental or intentional access.
Take these steps to prevent youth from accessing substances like marijuana, alcohol, medications, cigarettes, and vaping products at home:
Safely store substances
You already store things like cleaning supplies and dangerous tools in a safe place away from kids. Treat substances the same way.
Lock marijuana, alcohol, medications, and cigarettes and vaping products in a cabinet, box, or drawer.
Keep track and dispose
Know the types and amounts of substances you have. Get rid of medications that are no longer needed or expired.
