2 NABBED IN SCHOOL ECSTASY DRUG SALE
Police Say Student Took 8 Pills in Suicide Attempt
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO -- Students leaving South San Francisco High
School Friday afternoon seemed to be in good spirits, despite the
drizzle from overcast skies. But their enthusiasm for the weekend
belied a more somber situation: Ecstasy use is alive and well among
some teens at the school.
It wasn't for fun, however, that a 16-year-old student there recently
took an overdose of the drug. It was a suicide attempt involving
eight pills -- the usual dose is one -- and it was sold to the girl
by another student on campus, authorities said.
