Students at a middle school toured rooms showing how depressants slow reaction time and memory while stimulants boost false confidence, with goggles and gloves simulating impairments. Officials noted the session aimed to deter drug use as adults urged resilience and healthier choices. The Murphysboro American Legion funded the event with a $600 gift.
