Warning do not read unless seen episode.
This one is a favorite episode, what's interesting is this episode can now be viewed more as a history lesson on how drug awareness in schools started to come into fruitation, and the harmful effects drugs truly have not just on the users but the people around them. It's starts out rather disturbing as we see a 12-year-old clearly tripping out as both Joe and Bill were escorting him for immediate treatment. Thankfully the kid will be okay, but you know the cause of what put him in that state in the first place.
Really liked the meeting scene at the school and we see both Bill and Joe give out the facts on each pill and the fatal effects they have. Bill and Joe find out a 9th grader being the drug dealer, but what really disturbing is the fact this drug dealer's moral compasses is absent been brought up in a household with no rules and restrictions and he can do whatever he wants. But also, he wrongfully thinks drugs are fun and aren't really harming anyone.
The drug dealer is dead wrong, it then comes down to the raid on the drug dealers homestead, and the place is just a total craphole; dishes unwashed, trash everywhere, it's a place I wouldn't want to go though even with a Hazmat Suit on.
But worst one of all is seeing two kids that are dirty, sitting at the table eating nothing but a can of beans unsupervised because their parents and everyone else in the house is using drugs; I'll admit seeing the sight of those two kids was heart sinking and it gets really disturbing once we hear one of the drug users in the house has just died.
This episode just goes to show how youth aren't safe form drugs and that we must take action now to protect their health and innocence.
