Dr. Volkow seemed to catch the teen’s attention quite easily in this video. I think drug education is important, especially in high schools, and she seemed to have quite an impact on many of the students. I think it is great that she took her own time to go to a school herself to educate and answer questions.
It is so important to create awareness in young people, before the problem even germinates. Rgds.
MY OPINION ON WHY MOST PEOPLE REALLY WANT
THE LAW PASSED TO SMOKE MARIJUANA IS BECAUSE
OF THE HIGH THEY GET FROM IT, NOT FOR THERE
HEALTH, IN THE FIRST PLACE IT REALLY DOES NOT
HEAL YOUR BODY! AND I THINK SOME TAKE IT BECAUSE
THEY WANT TO FIT IN WITH THE SO CALLED CROWD THAT
THEY THINK IS COOL. IF YOU WANT TO GET A REAL HIGH
I SAY (JESUS) IS YOUR ANSWER, YOU WON’T WAKE UP
WITH A HEADACHE AND YOU’LL KNOW–
WHERE YOU ARE AT…
I WOULD LIKE TO CLEAR UP ONE WORD ON THE FIRST
SENTENCE I WROTE: MY OPINION ON WHY MOST
PEOPLE REALLY WANT THE LAW PASSED TO SMOKE
MARIJUANA, THAT IS (SOME) NOT MOST PEOPLE!!
This video is really beautiful.And also It is so important to create awareness in young people.
