Although many people think that illicit drug use is mainly a problem among older teens, the stark reality is that drugs, including a growing list of "club drugs" that got their start on the rave party circuit, are now commonly available to middle school students across the nation. This video provides young teens with the latest information on drugs like GHB, Ecstasy, Rohypnol, Ketamine, LSD and methamphetamine. Viewers will hear from their peers and from narcotics experts who provide chilling and crucial information about each drug. The risks associated with each drug are highlighted, including death from overdose. Program also offers young students valuable guidelines for evaluating their choices at parties where adult supervision may be lacking. Powerful footage includes a physician explaining that club drugs can permanently damage the young growing brain, and an interview with the mother of a young girl who died from an overdose of GHB. Viewers are reminded that experimenting with drugs is neither cool nor safe.
The video and Teacher's Resource Book of class activities are sure to deliver a very strong no-use message.
