Drug Free Kids Rally At Ohio Statehouse On 4/20

Crowd gathers at Ohio Statehouse

April 20th is a day that is widely celebrated by those in favor of marijuana use and legalization. But on this day, hundreds of students from around Ohio took a different message to the Statehouse. A sea of purple tee shirt clad high school students marched down the street to the Statehouse. Delaney McQuown, a senior at Upper Sandusky High School, says the message is simple……don’t do drugs.“Marijuana is definitely a gateway drug and although people say it’s not a drug, it really is and it affects your brain and body in ways you don’t understand.”McQuown was one of the students who won scholarships for video projects they submitted to the Drug-Free Action Alliance of Ohio.
