Hey Friend,

It's that wonderful time of year again! What time you ask? SPRING!! And what does SPRING mean? We're close to summer!! More time to practice and participate in our Natural Highs!!

In this issue you will find an update regarding the "My Natural High" Contest, news about a Natural High club started in Washington, and two MUST READs: "Beautiful Boy" and "Tweaked". These books contain the same drug addiction story, however, one is written through the eyes of the father and the later the eyes of his son.

Also, TAKE ACTION, and send us your BEST Natural High T-Shirt Designs to kelly@naturalhigh.org! That's right, a clothing store is currently in the works for www.naturalhigh.org but we need your creative help!

Washington School Starts Natural High Network
lake stevens high school
Interested in making a positive difference at your school? Start a Natural High club like the Natural High Network at Lake Stevens High School. Steve Pitkin, a teacher at Lake Stevens, organized a club that provides cultural activities for sober fun. These activities include open mics during lunches, a youth made film festival, a Guitar-Hero gaming event, and an open-mic night at a community park for all ages. Pitkin said the club was first founded in 1999 at Snohornish High School and has since evolved into a dynamic way for youth to be active, social, and drug free.

Don't have the time, energy or resources to start your own full blown club? Start with just a few events! Engage your friends and faculty (to help cut through the yellow tape). Just make sure the message is clear, admittance is for the sober minded only.
Same Story, Different Perspective
Tweaked book You may have heard them on television or seen them showcased at Starbucks. Two books just released called, "Beautiful Boy" and "Tweak" were written about the tragic story of Nic Sheff and his addiction to methamphetamine. What makes these books unique is that one is written from the father's perspective and the later is from the user's (son's) experience.

New truths shine through as readers see the damaging effects of drugs to both user and non user alike. Nic was drunk for the first time at age 11. The books tell how he then went almost overnight from casual marijuana use - just a phase, one of his teachers said - to full-blown addiction. Clues and advice are given from both authors as they share their outlook, pain, and what they wish they would have done differently. Read full article and excerpts.
