Bobby Wiggens is a master at delivering a serious message in a light, fun and comprehensible way. He injects personal experiences, wit and humor, and invites audience participation. This is a high-impact, must-use video for anyone who cares about children and their attitudes about drugs.

I am so relieved to find something that honestly communicates the dangers and evils of drugs at a kid level. And actually has the intended effect of discouraging drug use, where I've seen other programs with the net effect of encouraging (!) drug use. With the unparalleled success the Narconon program has in actual drug treatment, I am very optimistic that follow-up studies will demonstrate the effectiveness of their prevention programs. My experience with this program's initial showings is just as positive as the best reviews here.

Even though this video is geared towards kids, I learned some interesting facts about drugs. I have a little daughter, and I definitely will show her this video once she is old enough, because I think that she should know the simple truth about drugs and their effects. This will enable her to make an informed decision on drugs. I really liked this video.

I watched this video with my kids and would recommend it for all families and all schools. Bobby Wiggins relates so well to kids in a way that they can't help but get the message -- they won't want to use drugs after watching this video.

I do drug education presentations at schools in South Africa and have found the data in this video to be hugely instrumental in the success of my presentation which is based on Bob Wiggins's approach. This approach of showing why using drugs is harmful and detrimental to one's happiness and success in life I have found to be far more successful that just say telling stories of people who have ruined thier lives with drugs. Using Bob Wiggin's approach people can understand why drug use does this and they have a clear choice between a few hours of fun with it's consequences and making an easier success of one's life without the hinderance of the effects of drug and alchohol use. It is vital that the truth about drugs be known as a lot less people would do them if they can understand that the very happiness and contentment they seek with drugs are the very things they will be losing.

I have used this video in middle and high school drug discussion groups with kids. It is very useful. The presenter really gets on the same "wavelength" as the kids and makes the subject very real to them. I have even shown this video to college kids and had excellent results with it. I ran a drug education group for five years in schools and this video is the best tool I have come across. it is a great video for initiating discussion about drugs. Kids are getting on drugs and alcohol at an alarming rate - buy this video and use it with your kids.

I've seen many "drug education" videos and film strips (giving away my age here) over the years, but this is the first one that actually teaches something. Bobby Wiggins is entertaining and interesting to young and old.

Other drug education films have tried to scare kids away from drugs... this video teaches what drugs actually are and gives the viewer real information so that they can see the truth and decide for themselves.

I think this is a must video if you have children or teach drug education.

I watched this video with my kids and it really hit home. It doesn't just say why drugs are bad but how they are bad for you. I'll smoke a joint every now and then but I don't want my 10 year old and 12 year old kids to start smoking pot yet. When they get older they can make there own decisons but should never do hard drugs. Marijuana is not a "hard" drug.
