Drugs are the scourge of our youth, the downfall of our society, one of the greatest of all evils. They affected my life as a youngster and continue to affect my life as an adult in both direct and indirect ways.

It is really difficult not to take things personally when something bad happens because of drugs in your workplace, especially if you are an owner. It narrows to all the more painful a perspective when the people involved are between the ages 16 and 22. it really is not about us, regardless of the inconvenience; it is about them and they need to realize they are worth so much more than what they are doing to their bodies and to those around them who love and support them.

it is such a shame - what do we do about it?

what can we do about it, if anything?

The worst drugs are as bad as anybody's told you. It's just a dumb trip,
which I can't condemn people if they get into it, because one gets into it for
one's own personal, social, emotional reasons. It's something to be avoided if
one can help it.
