This
program uses hard-hitting facts to tackle popular myths about club drugs.
|
Eric Martin, one of the nation's leading experts on these drugs,
discusses a wide array of substances including MDMA (ecstasy), methamphetamine,
GHB and ketamine, and places particular emphasis on how the brain can be
permanently damaged by their use. Viewers
learn how club drugs cause memory loss, sexual dysfunction, learning
disabilities, altered perception, and other mental and physical problems.
Video footage from rave parties, and of users under the influence, drives
home just how serious the consequences can be.
