Florida’s efforts to reduce illegal prescription drug deals are paying off and pushing dealers to an old school product, according to the Gainesville Alachua County Drug Task Force.

In every case, even for those who are now dead, this plant helped them a great deal.

It is a difficult battle, but MPP and Norml is trying. If you are ever in Michigan, please let me know, I may be able to help. Good article peace
