“3/17/18. This documentary certainly goes a long way in shedding light on why there is a drug epidemic in the U.S. It tries to be even-handed in presenting the problem of substance abuse as a coping mechanism for people trying to deal with peer pressure to succeed and excel by leveling the playing field through the use of drugs. Not necessarily the best answer to lifeu0026#39;s problems. One issue that wasnu0026#39;t discussed, and probably should be, is the growing addictiveness of Technology. A growing number of studies are showing that excessive electronic use is affecting mental health and increasing distractions that compromises oneu0026#39;s ability to focus. Rather than learning how to overcome Technology addiction, young people are looking to drugs as the answer when all they need to do is learn how to manage their electronics.”
