Default-piece-image-0 This one-minute FREE spot offers some youth perspectives about drugs. NARRATOR: "You're a musician. Drugs, sex, and rock and roll. Is that your experience?" YOUTH: "No. That's kind of a stereotype if you're a rock and roller. I think that the only reason that you do drugs is to escape from reality and to just experience what it's like not to be stressed out all the time. So, if you do drugs I don't think you're an evil person. I just believe that you made a bad chose. Drugs don't necessarily get you away from what you're trying to get away from, but you think that they will."
