🚨 Back to College? Students - WATCH FOR SPIKING OF DRINKS‼️Especially in bars and at parties. Although the motive may be to make you relax, pull a prank, or see you drunk, don't risk it.

If you happen to leave your drink unattended or a stranger brings you a drink and you are worried your drink may have been spiked you can also use CYD Spiked Drink Testing Strips (https://alcoholcontrols.com/checkyourdrink.html) or drug detection cards.

Quote for the week! Per Yoko Ono “Making kindness a part of a daily routine — even if just internally, toward ourselves — can have a profound impact that will eventually make its way to others…We should practice kindness not to be recognized for what we’ve done, but for the peace and happiness it brings.🥰
