Tony wrote on Jul 27, 2007 9:02 AM:Read the article: the tests only show that they had smoked Cannabis in the last 30 days and that the driver was not drinking. This is really about kids driving too fast and loosing control of the car. Obviously tragic, but not simply about "pot & alcohol"

NO SUCH TEST wrote on Jul 27, 2007 10:19 AM:They say recently there is no test that can say when cannabis was used.

a sad day for all but... wrote on Jul 27, 2007 11:00 AM:in this case I am sure these teens were very much aware of the consequences of smoking pot & drinking alcohol, but chose to do so anyway, afterall, that is probably why they wouldn't ride the bus with the rest of the seniors. Anyone & everyone who indulges into things that they shouldn't are aware of the ramifications caused when done imporperly. I am sure their parents had taught them not to drink & drive, not to do drugs, & most importantly to respect the lives of others by not endangering their own life, as well as, the lives of others by doing these things while under the influence of either drugs or alcohol, but at this age, we all know that kids know more than any adult & unfortunately they often times must suffer the consequences of their actions by loss of life. It is very sad indeed as all of these young men had a lifetime ahead of them,however, they themselves did make the choices they made & in doing so created a memory for their fellow seniors that will last a lifetime, just not with their presence. I hope & pray that others have learned from their unfortunate disrespect for life, just how precious life truly is. My heart goes out to all the families & friends involved, as it tends to hurt us more than those who actually lost their life, survivors always suffer the most cause we are the ones left behind to remember, the good, the bad, & the questionable actions of these young men. If one finds themselves in a sitation that the partying is more important than the activity at hand, please stay home to do the partying, it just may save your life, as well as, that of a friend. RIP, to all four of these young men...God bless your sweet souls!!!

People must understand that if they choose to partake of that type of lifestyle, that the must consider the lives of others and themselves before ever getting behind the wheel. However, it doesn't sound to me like the driver was probably that impaired, but he was probably showing-off for the other car and his friends. Perhaps the passengers were even egging him on to drive recklessly. Sometimes stupid youthful mistakes can be the most life altering of all!! Sad...Sad...Sad, all the way around!!

Tragic no matter what! wrote on Jul 27, 2007 11:54 AM:Four dead kids, due to pot, alcohol, racing, whatever the case is, FOUR ARE STILL DEAD. As the song goes...Parents..teach your children well....

Sad story about these 4 boys. I am sure all the parents were kind, loving and caring. Their kids just got sidetracked and will never be able to take the mistake back.I am so sorry for tou loss, God Bless the families!!

Also to all our lawmakers, take away driving priviledges to every individual who is a medical marijuana patient, because they put all of us at risk. If your so called recomendation states you should smoke one or more joints a day the individual will never be sober enough to drive.

These 4 kids that you say were irresponsible and not thoughtful to others were and will always be my best friends! my opinion about all of you is that if you dont know the people and what really did happen you shouldn't even think about posting a comment...you think that they were unconsiderate reckless teenagers, but they werent! i feel honered to have the oportunity to be as close as them as i was...i mean i was with these group of kids in and out of school, so i know they way they were...very respectful and caring about others...so i would appreciate it if you would keep ur opinions to yourself and let the four R.I.P instead of judging them for what heppened...i will always love them and it kills me to go to the cemetary and see the graves of my brothers...i was suppose to be in that car with them...but i decided to go on the bus...God lead me away from the terrible accident but i cant help thinking why he couldnt have lead them away...RIP My Boys and you will never be forgotten!!! Put that on the "P"!!!!
