You want to start by getting their attention. So you could start by saying. ‘how many people in this room would trust a drug addict with their child’ ? Drugs dont just ruin your health they destroy much of what you dont see or take for granted . They are great for getting rid of your friends and any respect you have and good for downgradig your life. Many people think the odd line of coke or a few tokes on a joint are harmless but for many people this leads them on a slow and painful road to ruin and despair this aint bullshit this is real people and you better wise up. Its easier to say no when you havent tried it so dont try it.
