E Explosion in DFW
By: Amanda Bennett
I want to start this article saying I DO NOT DO DRUGS.
In fact I am an ex drug abuser. I did cocaine for several years, and have been clean longer than I even did the drug. I have always made a point to have friends who do not do drugs either. I have kicked people out of my house permanently for having a bag of weed in their pocket. Needless to say I have no idea what goes on in the drug world. To be honest I am happy not knowing. I know they are out there, I can spot when people are high… That is good enough for me.
So you know a city with a drug problem has to be bad for me to see it. I am upset by this. I love DFW. (That is the Dallas-Forth Worth Metroplex.) I have been living here for a few years now. Yet this place I love so much is in the throws of a drug problem. I am almost unsure how to react.
