Thanks, keep the drugs away from the youth of our nation any way possible. Our communities need to continue to educate our children on the effects of drugs.

It’s a shame…I went to school with both of them. It’s amazing what happens to some of us who have wonderful parents and still don’t reach our maximum potential. So sad….
