Gateway Drugs DVD Series

Three riveting DVDs target the gateway drugs: tobacco, alcohol and marijuana. This is where kids start and this is where prevention and intervention specialists should start.

Tobacco X-Files
Cigarettes are the first step down the path of compulsive use. Nobody starts smoking knowing that they will become lifetime users who are predestined to have significant and perhaps terminal health problems. Tobacco X-Files cleverly combines teen interviews with a series of staged scenes that show the deadly effects of tobacco use and make painfully clear the uncool impact of long term smoking. 28 minutes, closed captioned, SDH subtitles.

Binge Drinking Blowout: The Extreme Dangers of Alcohol Abuse
Alcohol is the most accessible gateway drug and for most kids, it's the first drug experience to affect a change in awareness and personality. Binge Drinking Blowout looks at the life-threatening nature of teen alcohol use from a medical and personal perspective. Watch interviews with parents and family members affected by alcohol related accidents, and with an ER doctor who deals with the victims. Contemporary and hard-hitting, this video is designed to capture the attention of teen abusers. 28 minutes, closed captioned, SDH subtitles.

Marijuana: The Gateway Drug
Marijuana use introduces teen users to illegal drugs. Its mind-bending effects initiate users to a more advanced form of altered states. Its use promises excitement and adventure but delivers exposure to deadlier drugs and an unstable lifestyle. 28 minutes, closed captioned, SDH subtitles.
