Of course, Farris wasn't actually aiding drug abuse since they were counterfeit drugs he was selling. And he is according to the Foundation's website, a recovering alcoholic and addict. His life's mission, he says,
is to help youth, schools, and families prevent drug and alcohol abuse before it starts, and intervene in any drug abuse which may already have begun.Farris is the author of "Drugs, Kids and Crime: Surviving Our Drug Obsessed Culture."

The good news is that mitigation talk to the judge will likely be easy.
