Dont Wait!

Drugs have extreme long term and short term effects on your

brain and other bodily functions.

The best way to prevent those problems is to avoid abuse. When

you abuse drugs you become a slave to the drug.

Many people dont realize the abuse until it is too late.

I freed thousands of slaves, and could have freed thousands

more, if they had known they were slaves.
