The video produced by Raven and Logan promoted a healthy lifestyle that included rejection of prescription drug abuse, by showing the contrast of life with and without prescription drug abuse.
“Congratulations to all of the winners of the ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ video contest,” said Attorney General Olens. “We received many excellent entries, and I know the judges had a difficult task in choosing a winner. The winning video sends a strong message that abusing prescription drugs is not a game and can turn deadly quickly.”
