My Anti-Drug Project by Henry Butcher https://padlet.com/21butcherh/x8lbffcqhk0r en-us 2019-03-05 04:16:52 UTC 2026-03-15 07:47:43 UTC hello@padlet.com Drug I researched/Heroin 21butcherh https://padlet.com/21butcherh/x8lbffcqhk0r/wish/337770320 Heroin is an opioid drug made from morphine, a natural substance extracted from poppy plants. Its color can vary and it comes in either a powdery or tar-like form. People can smoke, snort, sniff, or inject heroin into their system. Because it's an opioid, heroin is highly addictive, easily making it a serious epidemic throughout the country (Including Ohio).]]> 2019-03-05 04:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/21butcherh/x8lbffcqhk0r/wish/337770320 My Anti-Drug 21butcherh https://padlet.com/21butcherh/x8lbffcqhk0r/wish/337773380 My little brother is my anti-drug. As an older brother, I am expected to set a good example for him as he grows up. Obviously, if I used harmful drugs, I’d place my brother in danger, as he may follow my footsteps. Essentially, I’d be indirectly or partially responsible if he decided to use harmful drugs. Furthermore, I realize that I have a strong influence on his actions, and as he goes through high school, I will not only set an example, but I will keep a watchful eye over him. Again, his future is partially my responsibility as his family, and I will do anything within my ability to preserve said future.
