Teen addicts speak in their own words about how their lives spiraled out of control after using drugs. “Gateway” identifies the most common gateway drugs-nicotine, alcohol, and marijuana-and presents research which suggests that they may cause permanent changes in the adolescent brain after a single exposure. Kids can go from being drug-free to full blown addicts in just a few months. “Gateway” demonstrates how experimenting with drugs without considering the consequences is like playing with fire, and can destroy lives and families.
