Update: At the risk of turning this blog into All Drug War News, All the Time, which was never my intention, comes this cute little story:
Boyfriend and girlfriend, 15-year-olds Brandon Kizi and Andra Ferguson are both asthma sufferers and both students at Caney Creek High School. At least, they were, until Andra began suffering an asthma attack at school.
"I couldn't breathe, and I was just very short of breath," recalled Andra. "My chest was tightened up and it was hurting."
Brandon described the incident. "Her face was turning a little reddish-pink and she looked pale, as far as I could see. I loaned her my inhaler. I walked her to the nurse's office and loaned her my inhaler."
That's when the trouble started. The school nurse called the school police, who arrested Brandon. They charged him with a felony, namely distributing a dangerous drug for loaning out his prescription inhaler.
He might have saved her life, and he may well go to jail. Courtesy of the War. On. Drugs. Does this make you mad? Do you have a pulse?
