Her heartbroken father was understood to be travelling back to Dublin from the United States to be with his daughter last night.

Treasure Most Gofer wrote: » But so do people who get in cars Anyways, people don't necessarily know the risks. People generally will not speak honestly to teenagers about drugs and say things like "If you're going to take pills, be careful. Look them up, start with half and don't drink".

Another street drug is a horse tranquiliser, prescribed by veterenarians. They have no place as a form of mind altering recreation. The only exception that I know of is marajuana which is currently not indicated for medical treatments. I would have nothing against it being legalised to treat certain conditions where apparently it can be efficacous.
