Urgent Help !!!!! Crack cocoine

[Guest guest]

Thanks so much .. It seems I got myself in a mess here. I had no idea what I

was getting myself into. I have never encountered anyone that I knowingly

knew too drugs. I never even had a friend that smoked. I did lay down some

rules. I took all his money He does not access to a penny . I determine what

he eats and drink. He has very little . He still has his job. He loves to

work. I bought him a bottle of DR, Kings Sulfur Bitters just on a hunch. I

am happy for the suggestion about the diet, Can I get these at the Health

food store? Thanks soo much. Please keep intouch with me through this

ordeal

Thanks sooo much
