I am the paternal grandmother to Kyleigha(Kristen's daughter)that she left behind when she died.It is a tragedy for Kyleigha to be left behind due to this drug. I truly support this bill. Please find it in your hearts to pass this legislation. Put yourself in the shoes off all the families devastated by the epidemic and follow your hearts as you are voting on this bill, please.Thank you for listening.

I strongly support this bill.Both of my parents have struggled with drug addiction. One still does.Until one does chest compressions and breaks their own parents ribs in the process,no one will understand theimmense amount of anger that exists from myself and those who live with the same reality,against a justice system that does anything but deliver just that to families and we wacth their enablers go free and get a slap on the wrist by a county attorney or do a little bit of prison time until they receive parole. Their suppliers continue to create havoc in rural communities where they set up shop,especially in towns with no school, and sell to a handful of customers and bring the rest of their product of choice into the metro where they rise the price and destory more lives.
