22 yrs old-I live/grew up in RV. Drugs are all over the place here in this little place like you wouldn't believe. Some of the kids from my hs got into this stuff-started out w/ marijuana and branched out into the hard stuff, heroin, speed. One of my girl friends has been thru the ARC manor programs twice & still trying to get herself straightened out. I mean you don't see junkies staggering up Market street but just go some of the parties around town with kids 20-30 yrs old. I quit hanging around some of my hs friends. One person would go to Pitsbrg, or New Ken & buy heroin to sell, use etc. Bad news all the way around.
