'Said No Drug Dealer Ever': Middlesex DA's New PSA Warns Against Opioid Abuse

Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan's office released a new PSA on Friday detailing the side effects of using drugs that your dealer won't tell you.

In "Said No Drug Dealer Ever," a short created last week by the Middlesex Partnership for Youth, a young man is encouraged to take a handful of pills at a party by a fellow partygoer.

But before the young man can take them, the scene switches to an office and the partygoer is wearing a suit, listing the various short and long term costs of that one handful. He asks the young man to sign paperwork acknowledging that he has detailed the effects of opioid use, and offers to show a powerpoint presentation as well.

"As your drug dealer I want to be sure that you're fully informed, so that you know exactly what it is you're getting into," he says, as he and the young man return to the party and the video concludes.
