It amazes me to find out exactly how many teens over dose from illegal substances a year. The trend seems to be growing and it isn't getting any safer. Day after day, after hearing an over dose story, or watching television to see another celebrity heading to rehab, i wonder whatever happened to having a great time without the use of an illegal substance?
A Circuit City security guard in Miami faces murder charges for selling an ecstasy pill to a 15-year old girl that overdosed and died Nov. 2, at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach.
It was a Saturday night and Christopher Rodriguez, 22, met with four female teens at a Hialeah gas station. He sold them four ecstasy tablets for a total of $14. The 15-year-old teen took her ecstasy pill with orange juice as they drove to Miami Beach.
According to a police report, after about 20 minutes the teen began to act irrational. Instead of heading straight to the hospital, the teens headed to a Walgreens for milk. The teens forced milk into the victims throat. It didn't work.
Once the victim started to change colors, the teens finally decided to take her to a hospital. By the time they got there, the victims heart had stopped, but doctors revived her. She was brain dead. The victim died once doctors removed life support.
One pill is all it takes.
