In April, their show falls aptly on 4/20. Any story is allowed as long as it’s about drugs, true, is about the speaker’s own life and five minutes or less. Stories can be about any aspect of drugs — from kicking the habit to experiencing a new drug — no matter what kind. They want to hear your true drug story.
They also give out raffle prizes to the audience. The raffle is free to enter. Last April at their Drugs show, they even gave away some live seedlings.
