Jade gives a highly personal account of how taking a variety of illegal drugs devastated her life. She describes how what began as casual, one-off activity to help her relationship with her boyfriend, eventually led to reliance, with severe physical and psychological consequences.

At 13, Jade was introduced to cannabis by her boyfriend. Though at first reluctant, she soon became a regular smoker. Jade then moved on to Mephedrone, to which she eventually became addicted. She began skipping school, and became increasingly isolated from her friends. It was only a final ultimatum from her mum, to whom she was devoted, that persuaded her to quit. Jade has now returned to full time education and is studying for her A levels, having learned some hard lessons. 鈥淚t鈥檚 always made out to be so glamorous and fun, but it鈥檚 not so good as everyone thinks鈥︹��

The film also highlights key statistics in relation to young people鈥檚 drug taking, confirming the fact that only a very small minority of young people have ever tried them.
