Know the law. Marijuana, hallucinogens, crack cocaine, methamphetamines, and many other substances are illegal. Depending on where you are caught, you could face high fines and jail time. Alcohol is illegal to buy or possess if you are under 21.

Be aware of the risks. Drinking or using drugs increases the risk of injury. Car crashes, falls, burns, drowning, and suicide are all linked to drug use.

Keep your edge. Drug use can ruin your looks, make you depressed, and contribute to slipping grades.

Play it safe. One incident of drug use could make you do something that you will regret for a lifetime.

Facts

How?
Can I tell if a friend or a loved one has a problem with alcohol, marijuana, or other illicit drugs? Can I tell if I have a problem with drugs or alcohol? Can I get help?

Remember, you DON'T NEED drugs or alcohol. If you think "everybody's doing it" you're wrong! Over 86% of 12-17 year-olds have never tried marijuana; over 98% have never used cocaine; only about half a percent of them have ever used crack.

Doing drugs won't make you happy or popular or help you to learn the skills you need as you grow up. In fact, doing drugs can cause you to fail at all of these things.
