Another young person's death because basic precautions re not being taken, parents may no longer be training their children in those basic precautions.

Sadly, in the below article, the following precautions I was taught as a child in the '50's/'60s  were either not taught or not followed.

1.  All controlled substances can only be obtained by presentation of a Physicians prescription issued to a Pharmacist.

2.  Prescribed controlled substances are dispensed to persons presenting identification by a Licensed Pharmacist, Hospital or Doctor's office.

3. All other paths are high risk and may cost you your life.

This blog has continuously emphasized that we do not purchase substances from strangers...on line or on the street.  We do not injest substances that originate from "some dude on a street corner."

The second article brings to light a phenomenon that occurred in the 1970's and appears to be having a resurgence.

My high school football coach said this prayer before each game during the 1960's

Men, in life, there are three choices that are yours - and yours alone - :

1. You can select your faith

2. You can select your friends

3. You can decide what you put into your body

Now let's go out there and win this game.
