Bret Chidester
"Well, mom, it's legal anywhere.“
That's the response mother Kathy Chidester got after she discovered her son Brett was using Salvia divinorum
In 2007 Brett committed suicide. Brett did suffer from depression, but he left a suicide note that read, "How can I go on living after I learned the secrets of life?"
The drug confused him and made him kill himself they believe.

Brett Chidester was a straight A student, world traveler, and had lots of friends, and will be missed greatly
