    Back in 2001, I was introduced to drank. I remember being in the nightspot leaning up against the wall nearly sleep. Everything was moving in slow motion. I felt so good and euphoric that I wanted everybody back home to experience that same feeling.

Below I dispel ten(10) conspiracy theories circulating on the internet fueling negative beliefs and perceptions about medications and poor medication adherence. Take a look…
