Participant Feedback:

I enjoyed hearing the emotional stories and it’s comforting to know I’m not the one who has made mistakes.

The personal situations everyone discussed, it helped me to realize marijuana isn’t worth getting caught, or doing.

I did not like to hear Abby’s story, but hearing it helped.

I enjoyed sharing my story. I don’t usually get to share my side.

The story that was told changed my perspective on everything regarding drugs, it was great.
