Know the Law. Cocaine and Crack are illegal substances. Depending on where you are caught, you could face high fines and jail time.

 Get the facts right. Even one hit of crack or cocaine can be fatal.

 Stay informed. Injecting cocaine can give you hepatitis and AIDS.

 Be aware of the risks. Using drugs increases the risk of injury. Car crashes, falls, burns, drowning, and suicide are all linked to drug use.

 Keep your edge. Drug use can ruin your looks, make you depressed, and contribute to slipping grades.

 Play it safe. One incident of drug use could make you do something that you will regret for a lifetime.

 Do the smart thing. Using drugs puts your health, education, family ties, and social life at risk.

 Get with the program. Doing drugs isn't "in".

 Face your problems. Using drugs won't help you escape your problems, it will only create more.

 Be a real friend. If you know someone with a drug problem, be part of the solution. Urge your friend to get help.
