KEEP YOURSELF DRUG-FREE; DON'T TRY MARIJUANA

Imagine you're walking down a dark alley when a hooded man shows up and
asks you to try his company's new product.

For some reason you agree, and take a small whiff. Presto, you're instantly
hooked on a horrible drug.

This incident can happen to anyone, even you! Marijuana is one of the most
common and addictive drugs. It is also the most accessible.

People all over the world convince people to buy this drug, which in turn
attracts more people. Like a chain reaction, this drug can hurt the public:
You see someone smoking marijuana one day, and the next day you see a whole
group of people smoking it.

Users of this drug are affected in many ways. Marijuana is one of the drugs
that "alters your mind." After a while, you begin to have slow reflexes,
poor memory, a shortened attention span, the inability to think, and
changes in your sense of time and space.

In order to conceal this drug's identity, people have come up with a
variety of "slang" names. Some are: "hash," "weed," "ice," "super," and "bang."

But even with these slang names, marijuana users are still found
everywhere, and are often apprehended by the police.

After reading this, I hope you understand the dangers of marijuana. Many
people are drug-free, so you ought to make sure you are, too.
