    We cant blame always drug peddlers so long buyers are daily increasing.People want to enjoy with drugs,and neglect their work ,education.With drugs they want to go through exams.So peddlers see their chance to make money.Say no to drugs ,and they have less chance to sell .Other side this so young man instead of working normal other work dangerous drug peddling.Anything can happen in this business even murder,from other peddlers.
