Deadly Consequences of Teen Drug Use

On Sunday, a sixteen year old Gloucester teen was found dead, washed up on the beach shore, after ingesting a deadly mix of marijuana and hallucinogenic mushrooms. In this article from The Boston Herald, it describes few details about the teens death and what action the town is going to take as a result. Mayor Carolyn Kirk was quoted having said "What our teenagers are up to, and the steps we can take as a community will be the focus of the forum." I think more focus needs to be put on why teens are using drugs rather than if they are doing them.
