Mind-Blowing! — A Fresh Way to Talk About Substances
Introducing a new video series that makes talking about substances easier!
Talking about substances can feel tricky — especially when so much information online is either sensationalized, confusing, or just plain wrong. That’s why Substance is proud to collaborate with Savoir média on a bold new project: Mind-Blowing! Everything You Need to Know About Substances.
This 12-episode animated series takes on big questions about drugs and other substances — from cannabis and alcohol to vaping, GHB, and even magic mushrooms — in just two minutes per episode. Narrated by actor Mikhaïl Ahooja, each 2 minute video uses engaging animation and real science to unpack what’s fact, what’s myth, and what we’re still learning.
“Far from moralizing, Mind-Blowing! takes a clear, evidence-based approach grounded in science.”
The goal is simple: make complex information about substances easy to understand, for everyone — from teens exploring what they hear at school or online, to parents looking for credible information to guide open, non-judgmental conversations.
Substance is here to help young people live free from problematic substance use by supporting the adults who care for them. Partnering on this series is one more way we’re meeting parents and families where they are — with tools that are trustworthy, accessible, and engaging.
Mind-Blowing! is now available online – Click here to watch the trailer and explore the series.
