tonight teen seventy one little film called drug talk some current drug problems and it was done by the university of california at los angeles a absolutely this is amazing and they do a really good job but nonetheless it still is just a reflection of what nine hundred seventy one was and what and how the drug problem was being thought of then some of this stuff still hold but i must say and we're going to go on to junior high and high school campuses and we're going to confront how te s back then were facing drug use and also some really interesting pictures some footage of nineteen seventy's teens looking the marijuana odor tablets this throws off the aroma and you can identify the marijuana with this and we have the marijuana plant for identification purposes and they're used in the schools and also in the police departments we have three sizes of twenty eight inch thirty eight forty eight inch throughout the united states schools are being pressured into responding to the unprecedented problems of drug abuse many schools have reacted by inviting independent drug programs into the classroom these programs are often presented from a point of view which many students find difficult to police officers are frequently invited to speak in the classroom because of these lectures which often stress the dangerous and illegal aspects of drugs reflect law enforcement attitudes it must be taken into consideration i think that we police officers are citizens too we're merely doing a job full time that your parents can't do because they have to go out and earn a living to support you so therefore we must have the respect and the confidence of the community and your support in order to protect your life and property now i mention that we gather facts and give information it's in the vein of giving information that police officers and other people teachers many people go in the community and give lectures and give programs on drugs ok if we could have the lights turned off please i'll turn the slides on  on what they call the what are they what that's not a roach something else i look at what is it joint that's right but tell me what those things are what are they clips that's what they are happy and somebody said i happened that's right that thing a bottom there is a hairpin that's what they use they use anything just to hold to the roach with now the reason they use the roach clip they like to smoke marijuana down as far as they possibly ok this one i don't know if you recognize you can tell who the guy in the red brown shirt is or not but that happens to be my picture there not just the the a large seizure that we've made of this type of drug ok now we're going to talk about something else and one of the call these anybody know downers that's right now about what a downer is what's a downer but it's something that slows you down ok what is it makes you sleep a lot that's right this is one of the things that i was sleeping pills and now the blue one but what they call those blue heavens and blue angels that's am of are the top what about the red and blue and what is the rainfall that's right now when they take the drug they will look very much like they're asleep they are drunk or intoxicated under alcohol but the trouble of it is they can take one or two then they might like it you might like once you take it that you see there is of a dead person you see what happened the burn the complete so off of his foot all the skin because they didn't realize that he was actually under the influence of this drug and was dead at the time that they were burning his foot it does make it wake him up from the opium poppy plant we get the narcotic drugs that are given to people when they suffer from pain so you break a leg will mix it up because the it's not water soluble so they have to heat it they use like the mac issue see here on the on the screen so use these matches till it gets heated to the for now it's the symptoms of the drugs which could be the abuse of the drugs this is a symptom of the drugs themselves are good and they manufacture these things to be used for good unfortunately there are people that find that they can get different reactions from us and they have used them now there is something that we haven't even talked about about drugs the illegal drugs illegal use of drugs are against the law and this is something we all should realize this is one of the biggest problems and it could affect you you're going to a group and somebody take some pills and they pass out from the don't run don't run tell the police if it's a place to come tell them the type of pills they take this is why so many young people die from overdoses because a person will take a bunch of pills and the group that he was with will get scared and run away i would think that it would be better for any of us to suffer a little bit of trouble a little later on the for another look to reproaches to use x addict gina a former heroin addict and is able to involve the students in an atmosphere of free exchange and by being totally candid about her past i was a prostitute for about three years and  i could not do it unless i was loaded you understand like the periods like if i cleaned up and i was on the net say you know if i needed money you know nobody could give me enough money to do something like that but when i was on heroin like i told you before that it kind of insulates you so that you don't feel you know your true feelings that things are kind of removed from you so i'm just here to say look at me you know yes the question is when i was fourteen did anybody come around and talk to me like this somebody came around to our school and told us the most fantastic stories they said us never accept an orange from somebody at a football game because it might have dope in it and if you take one bite you know you're hooked forever and i'm telling you i was so much of heroin until i saw you know myself that he didn't fall apart i was surprised that he didn't just crumble and drop it at my feet and then i says you know there's you're lying it's all lies you know i wish really maybe it would help to somebody i just you know told the tru that anymore in other words they did not progress you know understand but then there's other people like me that maybe have some kind of personality problem some hang up more or less like we're more we're more disposed to using dope you understand what i'm saying so like i say if you can make a like or a really final commitment no one dope that's going to include marijuana acid  dope everything you can just save yourself a whole lotta bother you know maybe some people can smoke a few joints take a few pills and that's going to be all they ever do you know but then there's people like me i guess in a way it kinda like alcohol just this is not professional the binion this is just something that occurs to me that like you know some people can be social drinkers and other people are going to jump in the bottle you see but you know what if you if you really like want to save yourself and you really feel up tight places to call where we are then call and talk to us as a matter of fact we're trying right now to try and get like a schools offering package programs in the hope of deterring drug abuse students are encouraged to create local drug clubs with the help of the national representatives down to maintain the reason i am here i am national team director for the only effective narcotics education and prevention organization in the united states for and by young people these young people are doing something this is the now generation and they are proving it as we say those that leave have the disease called apathy let them go the organization was started primarily as a challenge and the challenge was nothing could be done about the drug problem we only offer is a national organization  you run the chapter or club you would have to have a teacher advisor but they work in an advisory capacity only not a dictatorship what you would do at the meetings would be primarily up to you we have suggested methods like i said but the only person people that have anything to do with having the suggested message work would be you and this is why i'm down here to give you an idea that there is a program like this it is available to you if you want to do it or like i said before you can use the excuse called apathy apathy is a disease that it can happen to me it can affect me it's somebody else's problem why worry about it because i love myself so much i haven't got time that's cool you may not realize it but we've just played a ball game i've just passed the ball to every one of you and you can sit there sex your thumb and drool all over yourself and be a bunch of little sniggering idiots or you can catch it in tech and under your arm and do something get involved qui passing the buck help your other friends and peers get rid of the problem called drug abuse so you can go on and have a better and bigger problems to challenge you next time yes i think a lot of the students who are really taking bets are going to think that it's a big this do not come to any of these sessions you've just got to make sure that word gets around the cure not tomorrow you're not you haven't got the training the ability or the intelligence sharing lanham certainly is able to get down to the level that these kids understand to talk their language doesn't very effectively harming the kids pay attention you're just talking to their friends and i think it was enthusiastically received by most of interest others have found that a successful approach depends on the initiative of the students themselves in a three day seminar at a rehabilitation center high school students met with ex addicts to discuss drug abuse current programs and it does create a problem what problem do you see through the use of drugs when you have that much or say well we've already got the problem we're stuck with it we've got to find some solution at this point some program that we can see before they get there and you have to make sure that any prison taishan that's made is always factual because you know you just start telling people if you say like you know well marijuana definitely leads to heroin that you've turned off s these pathless put out by the police department your child at this very moment may be on the brink of a whirlpool of data you know insanity and parents read this type of shit and that's all that it is because it well but it's just and i think what we need is people in there who are willing to talk and not not willing to talk we're willing to listen the room which we have established here which has become known as the rap room was developed as a growing awareness last year that the drug problem here on our campus was not yielding to the usual counseling methods or educational methods traditionally carried out we try to develop a concept some atmosphere the school was exerting the experience would change just because we were trying to do something even though even now what we're doing is a rather minimal thing and still an experimental thing but i believe it did have a positive effect upon the total  states they are going to be sent to devil's island to go become citizens one way or another and the best we can do is help them get into lou do to get out of this thing you know
