I was disturbed several weeks ago when I read in The Post that there was an increase in illicit drug abuse at OU. This is sad. Many good lives have been destroyed by drug abuse and many a young life has been taken because of it. Drugs are bad news. I lost my brother because of a cocaine overdose. Young students drink and combining that with popping pills can send you to the hospital or an early grave. Alcohol is fine in my opinion, but experimenting with illicit drugs can be deadly. My advice is to stick to the alcohol and leave the hard stuff alone.
