Summary: 
A plain language pamphlet on the do's and don'ts of drug education for youth. Explains the concept of "just say no" and it's ineffectiveness in drug treatment programs over the last 20 years. Contains a letter from a mother to her son about experimenting with drugs and the associated health risks as a template for non-judgmental discussion with youth about using drugs.
