In this podcast episode, we talked about drugs and why it's super important for high school students to stay away from them. We discussed how drugs can seriously mess up your health, both mentally and physically. They can cause mental health issues like anxiety and depression, and they can also hurt your body. We also talked about how drugs can be really addictive and mess with your judgment and coordination, making accidents more likely. We touched on how using drugs can impact your school performance and future career opportunities. And finally, we talked about the regrets that can come from experimenting with drugs. The main message here is to make smart choices and take care of yourself to live a happy life without drugs.
