Shocking and saddened.  To the youngsters, your parents spent their hard earned money working day and night  to send you to college. Now imagine what your mother, father, brothers and sisters are going through, after seeing their sons photos arrested for using and selling drugs. You educated youngsters have ruined your lives and your families lives. Nothing good happens by taking drugs it’s only the beginning of your destruction. So get smart and stay away from drugs and stay away from people who take drugs.
