THE FACTS

Think weed makes you high, fam? Truth is, it gets you low. 

Weed puts BAD CHEMICALS in your body that can

DROP YOUR IQ

ADDICT YOUR BRAIN

CAUSE ANXIETY

CAUSE DEPRESSION

 

And the people selling weed

TARGET YOUTH,

ESPECIALLY BLACK YOUTH,

to get people high and bring communities down.

Weed is also ILLEGAL if you’re under 21.

So don’t get high, get LIFTED.

Rise above the challenges you’re facing and make your dreams come true.

We want you LIVING IN FAITH TO ELEVATE DREAMS
