A Harmless Drug — David Ritchie

Two boys, Oscar and Johnny, begin to experiment with drugs in an attempt to maintain their "Cool Group Status." They consider Marijuana entry level and harmless, and disregard caution in its use. Soon, they are both hooked. Struggling to feed their addiction, the boys must hide its use from their loved ones. Johnny begins to lose his hold on reality, developing drug induced psychosis. Although Oscar can barely maintain his own sanity, he still struggles to help his friend battle the addiction. Eventually, Oscar can no longer help. Johnny, whose out-of-control spiral has now accelerated, unexpectedly murders his own father. When Oscar discovers the crime, he is forced to look inside himself for understanding, forgiveness, and ultimately the strength to defeat his own addiction.
