Marcus Weisbly: Turning Darkness into Light on Overdose Awareness Day

I don't have anything to live for, I don't know what happiness is, and my solace that I find in life comes from getting loaded, which is a pretty large conclusion to come to as a 14-year-old coming into Freshman Year of high school.
