Have you ever had to make a decision that you didn't know what to say? Well I sure learned a lot about that from Deputy Rieder. I also learned about tobacco, marijuana, alcohol, and numbers of other important information that we should know. But I chose to write about consequences.

First I'm going to talk about bad consequences. If I do things like smoke marijuana or tobacco, chew tobacco, drink alcohol, do things illegal, or anything under age I could loose my personality that I have. I might not be able to go to college or get kicked out of school. Maybe even end up on the streets living in boxes. I could loose one of the most important things I like in life: my friends.

There are also consequences for not doing drugs or harmful things. Well, good consequences anyway. I'll probably go to college and have friends. I'd most likely live a longer and happier life with no problems.

Those were just some of the consequences but there are still more. I know that I will be drug free and I will always say no to drugs. I'll never do drugs and I hope you won't either. Remember drugs are a dead end.
