It makes me so sad to see this..😓
Kush is destroying so many lives😰
The dealers are using kids for selling ..first given them for free sometimes so they get addicted to force them to sell it for the dealers
So please warned ⚠️ your children before that can happened to them !!!!
It’s a hard world to keep them safe 😓
This is disheartening, what are we going to become in the next 20 to 30 years is this drug issues aren’t addressed
