VOUR/ELf-
Hooked? You might do yourself in! Spaced
out? Get off that cloud, man . . . it’s not cloud
nine. Up and down? Get things together. Why?
Because drugs are a bummer. If they don’t snuff
you out they’ll make your life topsy-turvy — turn
you into a big nothing. It’s like this . . . life and
drugs don’t mix! Education, travel, good times
and a family can someday be yours when you
play it straight. Set up goals and work at achieve-
ment — it’s the best way of life.
