MARIJUANA It’s the most popular illegal drug among
teens, and, perhaps the most dangerous—because it clearly is the "gateway"
drug. Our experts and ex-addicts attest to it. Listen to their stories of addiction and
amotivational syndrome. Mike and Christy stopped going to school and even started to hear
voices. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t stop smoking it. This program
will open eyes to understanding the dangers of this so-called "natural high."
Students will walk away with a clear message that there is nothing safe about this highly
addictive and debilitating drug. |

COCAINE It’s one of the most popular drugs among the
younger generation, yet it stops so many of their lives. There is a fine line between you
and your dreams, and when it’s the fine white line of Cocaine, it adds about a
million miles. Michael, Michelle and Sarah tell how that seductive white line altered the
course of their lives and those around them. Suicide, jail and heartbreak replaced their
bold dreams of youth. Fortunately, there is hope for each of them, as they struggle
through recovery. |

INHALANTS Kids no longer just sniff glue;
they try everything from bug spray to household cleaners, and it is the second biggest
method of getting high for teenagers. Wade was six days away from his 13th
birthday and it was just before Christmas when he decided to do some "Glading"
with his older brother. He died a few hours from "Sudden Sniffing Death
Syndrome". This is a gripping story of how his father, a doctor, tried to revive him, and
how much they now miss him. What seemed to Wade like "no big deal" cost him his
life. |

CRACK As the saying goes, "Step on a crack, break
your mother’s back". Smoke it and it will bring you to your knees. Tracey and
Beadi found out that heroin may kill you but crack will leave you homeless and destitute,
willing to do anything to get it. Both were trying to escape pain, and the addiction cost
them their dignity, their families and nearly their lives. They are fighting their way
back through recovery, and their stories will leave students with the truth about the
destruction of this most addicting of drugs. |

SPEED Amphetamines—Speed—the drug often made in
your neighbor’s garage, is the third most abused drug among teens. It’s like the
runaway bus with a mad driver and a bomb that is ready to explode at any moment. Learn how
speed kills dreams, grades, families and lives. Haley and Steve have been there. She
got shot in the head. He died and was brought back to life in the emergency room. Students
will hear first hand how quickly a fun high will ruin your life. Believe the
signs…Speed Kills! And not everyone gets a second chance. |

LSD-ACID It was popular in the sixties and now it’s
back stronger than ever as the fourth most abused drug in America. LSD- "Acid"
is easy to pick up at "rave" parties and teens are trying it every day. But
Andrea and Tristan found out the hard way that by "moving up" to acid, their
dreams quickly turned into nightmares. And for some, a "bad trip" becomes a
nightmare that never goes away, leaving the user with paranoia, "perma-fry"
(brain damage), and even a trip to prison. |

SHROOMS-ECSTASY This is the first of two videos on
Hallucinogens, the other being LSD/Acid. What is real and what is not? Ecstasy and
psychedelic mushrooms—"Shrooms" – alter perception and chemically play
with our minds. Lanai, Samantha and Dale explain the agony behind the ecstasy. Their
hallucinations were scary and bizarre, and students will learn that the realities of drug
addiction are far more frightening than any hallucinations. |

TOBACCO Cigarettes, chew and dip --
are they deadly? Danika
is addicted to smoking and she can’t quit. Matt finally stopped after his doctor
found a pre-cancerous disease is his mouth. Bill gives you the steps he took to quit. And
the grandson of RJ Reynolds (Camel Cigarettes, etc.) lashes out against his family’s
empire! ALCOHOL Most high school students drink, so what’s
the big deal? Nikki will tell you. She’s a teenage alcoholic. She just liked to
"party" like everybody else. But now, she says it’s not funny when you
can’t control it. Shandra doesn’t drink and she stays away from friends who do.
Teens and experts offer help and advice. |
