In the Know: Party Drugs
Video

This video takes a hard-hitting look at five drugs associated with the Club
Drug/Party Drug scene: Ecstasy/MDMA, methamphetamine, GHB, Rohypnol and
Ketamine. Youthful narrators describe the effects of each drug on the body
and make a compelling case against their use. Fast-paced and full of useful
information, this video also includes physicians' accounts of real-life
emergency room experiences.
Methamphetamine production and use has destroyed communities in parts of this country, especially in the west. Meth is addictive and causes rapid deterioration in an abuser's health, social functioning, and personal hygiene. Abusers suffer cardiovascular damage, tooth decay, increased risk of HIV/AIDS and a host of other life-threatening physical effects. Some individuals for their own “high” experience abuse GHB, Rohypnol, and Ketamine, but the trend today is to use one of these drugs to sedate a potential rape victim.
The video describes the risks of using these drugs purposely, and stresses the dangers of being drugged by a rapist on the prowl. It gives a number of tips for protecting yourself against being victimized and raped by someone using one of these drugs. The video concludes with the tragic story of Holly Harmon, a beautiful college freshman, who fell in to an irreversible coma after someone gave her GHB without her knowledge.
