DRUG AND ALCOHOL FACTS FOR TEENAGERS

NATIONAL DRUG AND ALCOHOL FACTS WEEK. January 23-29, 2017

National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week links students with scientists and other experts to counteract the myths about drugs and alcohol that teens get from the Internet, social media, TV, movies, music or from friends. This experience was launched in 2010 by scientists at the National Institute on Drug Abuse to stimulate educational events in communities so teens can learn what science has taught us about drug use and adiction. 

This is a short promotional video.
