15.8 Chasing The Drug Dragon
The video below is a shortened version of the movie, Chasing the Dragon. You can see the full length version by clicking here. There are more than one movie with that name. This one has the testimony of drug addicts or people who knew them. It is a very sad movie and I would never show a movie like this to any child if I wasn't afraid that drugs might get that child. If you think that you might some day try out a drug to get high or because your friends give them to you and you want to fit in, or because you are unhappy and think a drug will help you feel better, watch this movie.
In addition to watching the movie below I recommending understanding the science behind drug addiction. There are 2 lessons on this site that partly explain the science, the first one is called Nerves and Neurons and the second is called The Brain. I recommend learning the Nerves and Neurons lesson, then clicking on the next lesson link in the nerve lesson, to watch the brain lesson.
When they talk about weed in the video below they mean, marijuana or THC. Weed is legal and sold baked into baked goods, mixed with candys and chocolates and is marketed as something good for you that will make you happy. That just goes to show the people who sell it are and how corrupt our politicians are who think they can win votes and make money by making weed legal.
