Spice and Tragedy

The following link Teen Dies After One Hit of Synthetic Pot is the story of a great all-American family and a son who went to rehab for substance abuse treatment and came out doing really well.  Then, with 8 months of sobriety, took one hit of Spice, or synthetic marijuana, and fell into a coma and died.  The family was loving, faith-based, and their loss is a tragedy.  It is a message, a reminder, and a foreshadowing of what can happen.  It is even more sad because many who will say "That's too bad, that sucks, but that won't happen to me" ...but sadly, for some, it will.
