Information on Drugs
People talk about drugs on the street, among friends, at school, on the Internet, and on TV. But what is the truth about them? A lot of the things you hear are from those using or selling drugs. Reformed dealers say they would have said anything to sell to others, whereas users would have said anything to get somebody to use with them.

In Conclusion
Knowing the facts is an essential part of deciding not to engage in drugs. Also, with knowledge comes the ability to help another to stir away from these substances. Drugs can drastically change one’s life. Many have lost control by using “just pot” to do “something with friends” and got to a point where they couldn’t stop. Everybody should have the straight facts on these substances without hype or scare tactics. For more in-depth information on their booklets and courses, visit their site.
