POTHEAD

Grades 7-12 2014 20 min CC Human Relations Media
Pothead tells the fictional story of Trevor, a teen becoming gradually addicted to marijuana as his grades slip, his relationships with his
parents and friends become strained, and his motivation to do things other than smoking marijuana diminishes. As Trevor’s downward
spiral plays out, the program weaves in interviews with teens who were potheads, but managed to turn their lives around. Their stories
provide a thought-provoking counterpoint to Trevor’s story, underscoring the message that addicted teens can change their lives for the
better.
