In this hard-hitting program, students will learn what methamphetamines are, how they are illegally produced in underground "labs" by drug dealers, and how addictive and deadly they are to those who experiment with them. Known by dozens of street names—-such as speed, crank and crystal meth—-these powerful central nervous system stimulants are highly addictive and can cause permanent damage to all systems of the body. The emotional roller coaster of devastation that results from methamphetamine use is also described. Viewers will hear harrowing true stories from young people who have learned the hard facts about meth, and are now struggling to regain control of their lives. The program provides viewers with many startling details, including the fact that possession of methamphetamine carries a mandatory prison sentence of at least five years. Teacher's Resource Book includes many helpful fact sheets and student activities designed to reinforce the video's strong no-use message.
