You don't need to get high using drugs and alcohol. You can get high on life!

La Jolla-based drug abuse prevention organization Natural High spreads this message to millions of teens and pre-teens each year. Soul Surfer Bethany Hamilton starred in Natural High's latest DVD that is distributed to more than 14,000 schools across the nation.
