I am looking for a presentation to present mainly to middle school aged kids about "Drug addiction." I would really like to find something that is graphic with pics of doppers etc. I know I can put one together myself but would much rather not have to re-invent the wheel. I am hoping to find one either in a MS Powerpoint format or Coral Presentation.
If anybody has one that they are willing to share I would really appreciate it. If I don't find one I will end up putting one together myself and I will then make it available others.

I know this is a little off topic, but when I saw your post I remembered something I saw on TV.

I only caught part of it, and it got filed away as a back burner project. (VERY back burner!)

The show was evidently about a program in Canada where officers would use a video camera in one of the bad parts of town and taped the street addicts in all of their splendor...

Y'know...falling down, slobbering all over themselves, sleeping in vomit, the usual junkie stuff.

The videos were used in community awareness and also to show the junkies themselves what they were like after they had detoxed in treatment. I remember one guy who had been falling down and groaning. When he saw the tape of himself, he remembered that he had thought that he was at a great party and had been singing just before he was arrested.

The tape had really demonstrated to him just how far gone he was when he was doped up.

As a former juvenile officer, I thought those videos would be a great educational tool, but I never caught who it was in Canada that was doing the program and never followed up to find out.

Just thought I'd pass it on. Maybe some of our neighbors from up north on the forum could help out.
