Answer by Mr. Wizard
If they haven’t already, I’d find someone-experienced in documentary filmaking-to photo document the life of a teen drug addict. The subject(s) can graphically tell, without “sanitized” clean up, how messed up their lives have become, how hard each day is to fight the addiction….and also show a few who lose such battles.
Have the subject(s) make it clear to each student audience this COULD be them if they cross the line and use illegal addicting drugs.

Main reason is because AS OF JULY 27TH MEDICAL MARIJUANA IS LEGAL IN DC YEAAAHH
Best answer:
Answer by DON W
For routine matters, the answer is yes.
For medical marijuana, forget about it. It won’t be legal in Virginia, and a DC doctor won’t be able to prescribe it for a Virginia resident. And even for DC residents the monitoring will be very close: only a very small number of people with long-standing ailments for which marijuana treatments can be effective are likely to be able to get such drugs–and they will have to pick them up from special centers, not from the corner pharmacy.
