what "Meth" is all about,

This review is from: National Geographic Worlds Mos (DVD)
So you think cocaine is bad, wait till you watch this DVD from National Geographic. This so called "Meth" can even be made at home. I am very impressed by the actual video footages of meth users sharing their own experiences, and their before and after pictures. Very well done documentary.

A troubling look at the worst drug on the streets,
By Kyle Tolle - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: National Geographic Worlds Mos (DVD)
I know a little bit about different kinds of drugs due to some law enforcement training I've had but after seeing National Geographic's special on methamphetamines, it became instantly clear to me that this is the most frightening controlled substance I've ever seen.On the streets it is referred to as Crystal, Ice, and Crank. Methamphetamines are viciously addictive and provide the hyperactivity effects of Cocaine along with the delusional effects of LSD. As opposed to getting a short `high' from other drugs, this one will keep users pumped up from 6 to 12 hours and create feelings of paranoia, invulnerability, increased strength, euphoria, and may cause some to react in a violent fashion. As for health concerns, it rots the teeth, suppresses the appetite, induces insomnia, and causes brain damage among other things. Its ease of use makes it even more insidious as it can be swallowed, snorted, injected, or smoked and it is cheap to buy or can be easily manufactured by almost anyone. Methamphetamines can be found in virtually every community from the smallest towns to the largest cities and it radiates through all walks of life from the lowest to highest social classes. It is estimated that there are 26 million worldwide users of this drug. When law enforcement in the United States began to make a concerted effort to eliminate methamphetamine labs, supply then began to come from Mexico using routes already established by Cocaine Cartels. `The World's Most Dangerous Drug' is only 50 minutes long but this is more than enough time to fully realize the shocking and devastating effects of methamphetamines. There are some graphic photos and a few disturbing video clips but they are necessary elements in complimenting and reinforcing the main message of this program. National Geographic has made a decent documentary here, in my opinion, and whether viewers want to watch this for educational purposes or just out of curiosity perhaps, I recommend it to everyone. 25 of 25 people found the following review helpful

Quality Documentary.,
By Bernard Chapin "Ora Et Labora!" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: National Geographic Worlds Mos (DVD)
This was a very educational production with considerable first hand footage and field reporting. That's what we expect from National Geographic and that's what we get here. The photo comparisons of the premature aging of meth users--"Faces of Meth"--was as depressing as it was compelling. The side effects of this drug are absolutely horrific, and the parts about "meth mouth" are tough to watch. You'll also see a side of Thailand you never knew existed. Before viewing this, I would have never previously thought one drug was more dangerous than any other but I was wrong.

Forceful,
By Gary L. Combrink "mr c" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: National Geographic Worlds Mos (DVD)
Unlike the previous reviewer, I have actually seen this video, and have shown it in my highschool classes. NG presents a thought provoking and sometimes disturbing look into the world of meth users, and graphically shows the physical and mental impacts of the drug. I highly recommend this video for anyone involved in drug education.
