I have seen drug dealing, and one young teenager vomiting and obviously on drugs sitting next to his bicycle. there is nothing you can do. First, the police have to catch in the actual transaction and second, the teen probably has nothing on him and it’s none of your business ( Mom and Dad)
I would not be surprised if much of this stash would have ended up in our local schools. Vapes are a real problem. Parents shake down your kids, be friends later.
