"L-Evated: The Blunt Truth" uses the language and culture of urban youth to de-glorify
the marijuana phenomena. The overall message to urban youth with "L-Evated: The
Blunt Truth" is "Stop Using Marijuana, If You've Started; Don't Start If You
Haven't; and Realize You Can Always Quit." With "L-Evated: The Blunt Truth,"
MEE wants young people to realize their true potential through the healthy development
of their minds and talents.
A youthful, urban radio DJ celebrity hosts the show from his DJ booth and speaks
to young people using their language, music, and attitudes. The radio DJ introduces
different segments of the show including an original vignette, popular scenes from
the movie "Friday", and interviews with youth and health experts to counter marijuana
propaganda. The DJ addresses the reasons urban youth give for using marijuana.
The provocative, dramatic vignette is interwoven into the show in four acts. The
drama takes an insider's look at the paths of two best friends -- Maal and Raheem.
As they reach their late teens, Maal is trying to move on to a positive path. However,
his friend, Raheem, becomes a "buster" (a heavy user). He can't wake up in the morning
without reaching for a blunt, and his girlfriend, Neeka, becomes disgusted with
him. In the end, Raheem starts to see that weed is taking him down and that it's
time for a change.
