First play this song while you read this.

There’s only 3 places drug addicts end up.
1. Jail
2. Institutionalized
3. Dead

If you quit then you get your life back.

Descent2Drugs – The Effects Of Drug Use – A short film created to raise awareness of drug use, and the effects of it. This film shows how drugs are a bad idea and something that you shouldn’t get involved in. Throughout this film we see how peer pressure can influence decisions, and how the mind is unaware of the damage it is doing whilst under the influence. I hope that this film has made you think about drug use, and hopefully has helped prevent it. REMEMBER, SHARING IS CARING. We need this film to be seen by as many people as possible, so please post on Facebook, Twitter and any other social networks you may be on. Thanks! Film produced by: Jason Wicks Josh Mclennon Antonio Lewis Samuel Simson
