GHB can cause these problems:Relaxation Drowsiness Dizziness Nausea Problems seeing Loss of consciousness (black out) Seizures Can't remember what happened while drugged Problems breathing Tremors Sweating Vomiting Slow heart rate Dream-like feeling Coma DeathRisky behavior

Who is learning now!We know what happens to our students when they are depressed! They check out of school, society, and life. The cant see the light at the end of the tunnel. They stop trying at school and fall behind. They take these behaviors into adulthood and the cycle continues at full force.
