JUST SAY 'NO' TO NARCOTICS

In June of 2003, one of my dearest friends died from taking ecstasy at
a Red Deer night club. Words cannot express how much pain her family,
her other friends and I went through. Then, to continue hearing of the
use of drugs in young people and possible gang fights to bring in this
new year 2004, it is sickening.

I have never used drugs. Being a new grad nurse, I respect myself and
my family enough to stay away.

I just wish to express to others that drugs are not worth it. It takes
something like yourself dying or losing someone close to you to
realize just how terrible something can affect you.

Keep safe. Stay away from drugs! Don't suffer the pain many other
people and I did last year.
