And I asked you early on that there wereindications that if people were to go to your group and asks, and, and want someZanax that they would come to you and you would be the one that would be alittle bit I guess supply Za nax if they we re looking for a

CC :inaudible)...YM :.. or two pills. Uhm, tell me a little bit about that.CC: I mean I know a lot of people in our school and I can find certain things. And ifmy friends wanted something they could come to me and I could possibly find itfor them. Uhm, mostly it was either weed, occasionally Zanax. Uhm, I meanpeople would ask me for other things but I wouldn't go out of my way to get thoseother things like be cause I don't want to take p art of that.

YM : Uh-hum (affirmative).CC: Such as like some people might ask me for acid. Uhm, I'll just tell them, I'll look

for you, but I won't call them back.YM : Uh-hum (affirmative).CC: Because I don't want, I don't want to have to go out of my way and do stuff like

CC: Ecstasy, uhm, I was able to get that maybe towards the beginning of my schoolyear, and maybe in the middle. But when uh, Casey was around, not around thattime.

YM: If you, if you were to have Zanax in your possession, or Ecstasy in yourpossession, let's just stay on Zanax. How many pills would you have in yourpossession at any given time?

CC: Maybe two, three tops.YM: Okay. Were they for personal use or did you...CC: Personal.YM: Did you ever give any away or sell any to any of her friends? Like if they said

hey, I'll give you five bucks for a pill?CC: Uhm, yes and no. Uh, most of it was personal use and but if I didn't want them

on me or in my apartment, I, if one of my friends were to come and be like hey, Ineed a Zanax, well I'd be like, Well you know what? I have an extra one that Idon't even want. Here either take it and give me maybe three bucks orsomething like that."

YM: And just for the record, you're not going to get in trouble for telling me this.CC: I know.YM: This is, this is simply to, to get information so I...CC: Yes.YM: ... so I have something to build on. Uhm, but you're not going to get in trouble for

what you just...CC: Alright.YM: ...told me, and what you're going to tell me. If, during the time that Casey was at

Uhm, we kind of oh, no, I wouldn't say peer pressure, kind of just likemade fun of her. "Come on Casey," like, "hit this bowl," or something. Like shem ight have hit it like once an d then it kind of becam e alm ost like a nightly thingwhere she would maybe hit a pipe two, three times. And then we would just bewatching TV or something.

YM: The good stuff? Okay. Did you lace it, or would you lace it...CC: No.YM: ...with anything else?CC: I don't, I don't, I don't mess with lacing any of that because uh, when it comes to

weed I use it for more anxiety and kind of like to calm me down after a long dayof school if I 'm worked up or so m ething over a test, or if I 'm worried I'll, it' ll kind ofrelax me a little bit. And uh, I, I always think it's like whenever I hear people sayoh, this stuff is laced or som ething like that, like I, I'm like, "Why would you everdo that to weed?"

YM: How was she when she smoked weed, Casey?CC: She seemed to like almost like, I'm trying to think how to explain it. Like your first

time, like almost the first time you ever smoked weed. Uh, she would, she'd gethigh off of very little. She'd always be laughing, smiling, you know, just having agood t ime, watching TV and m ovies, cooking, cooking food.
