I've spent two years in prison relaying stories sent by letters to a blogger about my crimes, arrests, and life in four Florida prisons, the Pinellas County Jail, juvenile detention and drug rehab. I'm sending a message to others not to make the same mistakes I did.

This is your brain on drugs

"This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs" is the most widely-shown TV message of any created by the Partnership for Drug-Free America in its 20-year history. Click on the video below to see this famous commercial from 1987.

Drugs aren't harmless - not even marijuana. Many parents believe that marijuana isn't that bad because they smoked it when they were younger. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, marijuana today is more dangerous than it was in the 60s and 70s . Some reports estimate that today's marijuana is five times the strength than it was in the 1970s while other reports estimate the strength is as high as 25 times that of earlier decades. That's a lot of dead brain cells.

Drugs aren't cool. You could end up in prison or worse. Read more about how drug use destroys your life: Get Smart About Drugs.
