I thought I knew a lot about drugs until I watched this. There's so much more out there than there was back when I was a teen in the late 90s. Now that I have a kid that's entering high school, its scary to hear about the new synthetic drugs because we don't know the long term effects that they can cause. I can only imagine what it will be like another twenty years from now. Parents need to stay educated and talk with your kids about it. Be honest with them cause if they think your lying, they won't open up. Be honest if you experimented with drugs as a teen, you'll be surprised at how much your kids will open up and talk to you.

Scary as it seems, but each illegal drug, the effects are different.Especially, if the drugs are combined into something, like a "screwball"effect. From all around the world, funneling into the USA.From liquid dipped pot cigarettes,all variants and all types of drugs. Maybe, an lsd, heroin, crack and Molly.(one high lifting, downer, brain cell blown trip.) Possibly, a "one way joy ride" From "party drugs" to dangerous loccidil, has the potency as flesh eating venom. Loccidil puts holes in your flesh
