Abstract
The film asserts that not only is cocaine addictive, but also that teenagers may become addicted faster than adults. It describes the effects of the drug on one teenager's life, provides the National 800 Cocaine Helpline number, recommends that users who want to quit seek professional help, and describes methods of treatment.
