New Club Drugs: Designed for Death

In the last few years, Ecstasy, GHB and other club drugs have not only inundated the club and party scenes, but have spread quickly to high schools and junior high schools throughout the United States. Just when drug educators, physicians and school officials thought they had learned all the hazards of these drugs, a new crop of dangerous substances called New Club Drugs has sprung up, posing even more dangerous risks than the first group. The new club drugs include Foxy – a pill that is two times stronger than Ecstasy and available at half the cost. Others are called AMT, YABA, Blue Mystic and 2C-B. The video uses the same compelling format as Club Drugs: The Real Deal to highlight each new club drug, how it works, how it affects the body and the mind, who is selling them and most importantly understand the very real health hazards. An emergency room physician, as well as a law enforcement officer, tips teens off to the latest information. Young users also describe the effects including hearing the parents of one teen who died of an overdose. The resulting message is clear – kids who take new club drugs or regular clubs drugs are putting their lives at risk.
