Doing Cocaine In The School Lane

How do you know when the country's drug culture is getting out of hand? I guess there are many indicators, the legalization of marijuana, the abuse of prescription drugs, the casual approach to using drugs as a diversion are all ways. But wait! Here is a practical example of the drugs for everybody anytime American cultures. A sheriff's deputy recently arrested a woman outside a Florida middle school after he allegedly spotted her chopping up and using cocaine while waiting in the parent pick-up line Tuesday. Yep! mom shoots up while waiting for her children's' school dismissal and pick-up.

The deputy who arrested loopy mom said he was patrolling Lexington Middle School just before 4 p.m. when he saw 39-year-old Christina Hester snorting drugs off the screen of her iPhone with a straw. It figures, a drug addict also addicted to cell phones uses both simultaneously. The deputy took Christine to his office where he arrested her. A field test later determined that half a gram of white powder found in her purse was cocaine. Christina has been charged with cocaine possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.

So much for those anti drug educational sessions a t the school. Instead, the kids can look out their school room window and get a real life demonstration of the power of drugs to ruin lives. This one incident is probably not the exception, as drug use to escape reality is now considered by many an alternative lifestyle. Society today has embraced illegal drug usage by legalizing more and more drugs and using more and more via prescription.

When life is so bad one needs to get high to avoid it, especially when doing it in a school carpool lane, perhaps that society should put down the drugs and start thinking clearly about the impact they are having on all of us.
