    I think that makes you a level-minded man,a really intelligent somebody I guess. I am the same as you and never ever thought/wondered that I am square or an odd one out.I love myself this way. You should love yourself the way you are!!

    Zoey defiantly not, trust me. When ur young u might think that but in the long run its worth it. I know that saying is like a broken record, i didnt believe it either and as i got older i saw devastating effects it had on people, even death.! someone i knew OD’d on heroin and 2 of my friends OD’d but lived. and like an idiot that still didn’t stop me and i started doing it, for about 6 months i blew $3,000 + on that shit. now im clean and looking forward to a great life.

    I’m not quite sure what PFDFA has to do with the posters friend dying from heroin… I should have died twice; I was lucky. The first time I had good surgeons- the second time a wife who happened to be a nurse. I’m in my 30th year of either using, or helping others not use…

    I live with a sad feeling that my number has already been called, and I’m just waiting….

    Been down that river. This video is short, not preachy, and I think very hard hitting. I got off meth and H 9 years ago. I used to mix them together and shoot ‘em sometimes. Lost everything. But I quit, and it’s possible, even though it’s hard to live with the aftermath and look at yourself in the mirror afterwards. The hardest for me is remembering what I pissed away to drugs (my dignity, relationship, possessions all sold for nothing) and what an asshole I was to those who love me…

    im 17 from Los Angeles and no one thinks your cool if u use drugs they think ur cool if u live on the edge and drugs are the easy way to do that.
    but all u need 2 be cool is a brain, a razor sharp tounge, unique look and sun glasses.
    it doesnt hurt to be good looking

    I’m 17 and live on my dad’s farm in Nebraska. I’ve never even seen drugs and wouldn’t know what they look like if I saw them. About the most kids do around here is drink beer. Does that make me a square and un-cool person? I’ve often wondered about that.

    This Video goes deeper than his looks. Other things as stress/ depression can change our looks, but the subject here is Heroin. My point is what’s going on inside of us shows through our looks as well as our personality. I am sorry for Rodney as he could have had a great life wether he was goodlooking or not. You with the SMART REMARKS: You too will lose someone you loved, from drugs. It is the one thing that has no No Prejudice at all…You might have someone in your family now using.

    Thanks for this video. It’s hard to watch friends mess up their lives with drugs. It’s even harder to watch them die from them. I shot smack for 10 years. For the past six years I’ve been off of it and living a normal life. My purpose of saying this is to let ppl know that it is possible to get off of it. It’s very difficult but IS possible. You don’t have to die.

    It’s a shame that so many people do different kinds of illegal drugs. I wish that it would STOP. I HATE it when people die from illegal drugs. By the way, that video is helpful to keep people off of drugs. Well done for uploading it!
