Marijuana: The Gateway Drug (DVD)

Describes the dangers of marijuana for teenagers and young adults, especially how its use leads to experimentation with other drugs.

Marijuana: The Gateway Drug (DVD)

While teenagers do not consider marijuana to be a dangerous, addictive drug, the truth is that marijuana is addictive, and very harmful. This program explains the damage marijuana does to short-term memory, and also the tendency of users to experiment with other drugs, leading ultimately to addiction.
Further insights are provided by teens and young adults, themselves recovering addicts, who describe why they started using marijuana, and how after a while the high they experienced was no longer enough, which led them to try cocaine, LSD and other hallucinogens.
They also discuss how much their drug use cost them - their money, self-esteem, education, jobs, and their family and friends. Current users are advised that although addiction is difficult to overcome, if they continue to use marijuana and other drugs they will most certainly end up in jail - or dead.
Available in DVD format only. Suitable for Grades 4 to 12 and adults. 30 minutes. 1998.
