-AUDITION COPY:
Listen up New York… there’s a new drug trying to destroy the young generation. It’s called synthetics. So, some guy thought it be a good idea to spray poison on some herbs and then sell it to you. No it’s not Marijuana….it goes by the name of K2. It causes hallucinations, rapid heart-beat, vomiting, seizures. And it can kill you the first time you smoke it. Young New Yorkers are saying NO to synthetics. And if you want a fight… you got one. We don’t want you here. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever! Young New Yorkers are saying NO to synthetics.
