How are durgs easily obtained by teens?

I wanted to know how school aged kids are able to get drugs.  I wanted to hear from a kids perspective so I watched a video.  I was shocked at what I heard.  "you call someone that night and say, I want this.  can you bring it to school tomorrow?  And they do.  And you see them in the hallway and you can exchange it like that".  To me that was way to easy.  She also mentioned in the video that one way they can get drugs is you basically ask around.  Someone is always going to know someone who has the drugs. 

The schools need to do something about this but what?  Its not like there's a metal detector to sound off when the kids bring drugs into the school.  I think we need more people in the schools that can keep a visual on kids at all times but that would call for funding and schools are already on a budget.
