Feeling pressured at home and at school, Will (Will Smith) secretly purchases some amphetamines--and though he doesn't take them, he hides them in his locker. Shortly thereafter, Carlton (Alfonso Ribeiro) accidently consume Will's "speed pills", mistaking them for vitamins, and ends up in the hospital. This powerful "Just Say No" broadside was among the first Fresh Prince of Bel-Air episodes to indicate that, for all his clowning, Will Smith had a fantastic potential as a dramatic actor.
