Joshua was my best friend. I liked him very much but he was very addicted to drugs.
One day as I was going to visit him in his association, I met with one of the other members, even he was sniffing glue. In Joshua’s friend’s hands were drugs, even more were in his bag that he had carried. By that time I was totally confused why they were taking drugs like this.
I remember well, I was alone, and I decided to ask him where Joshua was. I begged him until he told me that he had died because of a road accident just a few minutes ago when he was totally drugged.

After that I asked him where the accident had happened. He told me in the roundabout and took me there. I found Joshua lying in the center of the road without his shoes. Then, we took him to the mortuary. By that time, the policemen had not arrived and the car that had hit him had already escaped. From that day on, I decided that I would never take any drugs in my life.

Patrick, I am sorry you lost your friend to drugs. I am happy that you are no longer using drugs yourself. Drugs only destroy a person. You should be proud of yourself. Look forward to your next blog and photo’s.

I wish there was a solution to the widespread drug problem. Drugs are everywhere all over the world. People turn to drugs for various reasons and I wish they would find an alternative method for dealing with their issues instead of running to drugs. What should be done to help these people get away from drugs?
