National Geographic: World's Most Dangerous Drug

I have seen this program on the NG Channel and thought it was excellent. I too teach drug eduation to high school stuents, and am looking forward to adding it to my library. The program is so much better than your standard "don't do drugs" videos that we have from years past. Whether you think meth or tobacco or something else is the world's most dangerous drug doesn't matter here. You can show this film to a group of young people and then do follow-up activities with them about drug abuse, the development of addicition and how the abuse of ANY drug can negatively affect the lives of the user, family, friends and the greater society. Also, meth is becoming a huge problem, and the kids at my school know it. I will definitely buy this DVD and use it in the classroom.

Excellent documentary. Thoroughly researched and easily understood.

I returned this video because it was not something I could use for educational purposes. It opens graphically with intention to frighten. In my experience with substance users and addicts, they respond negatively to such tactics--blocking them out, refusing to watch or stating "I don't have that problem." It serves to terrify family members and professionals assisting to help loved ones and clients with addictions more than we're already terrified. The worst part of the return was that it cost me half the price of the video for the seller's 'restocking fee,' which was mentioned nowhere in their promise of the refund. After postage, restocking, etc. I lost money in the transaction. I would have been better off throwing it in the garbage.

I've been a counselor for 12 years, and I've seen many substance abuse educational videos. This one is the best I've seen concerning meth addiction. It is very factual, non-judgemental, and interesting. The documentary combines user interviews, with clinical and police interviews, making for a very balanced approach. Also, it uses graphics to show you what meth is doing inside a person's brain. very effective, up-to-date presentation on the damage that meth causes. ** highly recommended

I thought I was ordering Worlds Most Dangerous Gang (MS-13) and instead I got this, so it wasn't what I was looking for and I have seen a bunch of things from Nat Geo and this was just OK.

I have used this video several times with incarcerated youth with histories of drug use. It is very well done and they receive it well. It is not preachy but lays out the facts and tells significant personal histories of experiences with meth in a powerful manner. I strongly recommend it for anyone doing drug education.--Steve

I was reluctant to utilize this DVD due to its graphic depictions of drug use and its focus on the production and distribution of drugs. However, I have included it in my groups within the ong-term correctional setting where the problems of it triggering drug cravings and of those cravings leading to drug use are minimized. It can be difficult to select portions of the videos since you have to "click through" the sections rather than just select chapters. As with many difficulties it was minimized with experience and I can more easily choose what I wish to present.

I purchased the DVD "World's Most Dangerous Drug." because of the number of signs I see up in the community warning youth against the use of Meth. I counsel youth and this video shows the negative consequences of Meth use. The reasons to use, it's effect on the mind, burns from explosions; it helps for the youth to be able to see the things which go on. Hopefully "seeing is believing." The video included everything, very informative. Thanks You Amazon, Stanley Strong Kinston, NC

Excellent movie on the dangers of this drug. I use it in the Health units of my Phys Ed class. Want to keep the kids off of drugs? Show them this movie!
