The Mouse Party Presentation

Researchers at the Genetic Engineering Department at The University Of Utah have created a really great presentation to help you understand how different drugs affect the brain.  So for those of you that would rather "see" how different drugs affect the brain than read about it, anytime you see the picture below anywhere on our site, click it.  That will take you to the "Mouse Party" presentation and it's actually a fun and easy way to learn about something that's normally very complicated.

 

 

The "Human Side" Of Meth

One of the by-products of creating our meth section is the enormous amount of quality contact we're able to have with all types of stakeholders in the meth issue.  As a result, we've been able to share and exchange information with many people who are in various stages of direct involvement with meth.  This ranges from people who are regrettably still using and trying to figure out how to stop, people in various stages of recovery, as well as the friends, family and loved ones of existing and recovering meth addicts.

And we felt that it was important to give a voice to these people, as they represent the "human" side of meth, and can provide important insight into a variety of extremely important issues seldom discussed within all the media coverage methamphetamine receives.  And when you have a look at this new section, you'll see that these people are not the irresponsible monsters and social deviants that we so often see portrayed in the media.  Like all addicts and recovering addicts, they're just people who for a variety of reasons, fell prey to a relentless and progressive addiction that in the end, spares no one it touches.  The new section is simply called, The Human Side Of Meth.

   

Dying For Meth

Not long ago, we were contacted by Full Fathom 5 Productions, the award-winning film producers from California who among other projects, produced a DVD called "Dying For Meth."  After looking at the Meth Section within our site, they felt we had to see their DVD because it showed meth from a visceral, "real-world" perspective that had never really been properly captured before.

Frankly, we were skeptical, because we've had several people send us presentations about meth including Powerpoint projects, video and web slide shows.  And in virtually every case, they were either outdated, full of errors, or heavily reliant on scare-tactics and "sermonizing."

But you have to keep an open mind, so we agreed to have a look at "Dying For Meth."  And keep in mind, at All Positive Options, we're anything but newcomers to the world of addictions.  Many of us here have been in recovery for a long time ourselves, so we've personally experienced the ugly side of addiction in the "real world."  For that reason, we're not the easiest people in the world to impress.  But after watching "Dying For Meth," we've got to tell you, if "a picture's worth a thousand words," this DVD is worth a million words.

Just Press "PLAY"

If you want to show kids, first responders, law enforcement personnel, community groups, or anyone else concerned with the issue of meth what they're really up against with this drug, sit them down in front of a television, insert the "Dying For Meth" DVD, and just press "PLAY."  That's all you have to do - "Dying For Meth" does the rest.  And it's no wonder this DVD was nominated for a Prism Award because frankly, it's the best thing we've ever seen on meth and as far as we know, we've seen them all.  We just can't emphasize enough how powerful and effective this DVD is as a tool for prevention, awareness and education about meth.  And that's coming from the company reputed to have the most comprehensive, accurate and current information about meth anywhere in the world.

In fact, we were so impressed with "Dying For Meth," we've arranged with Full Fathom 5 for our clients and even visitors to our site to receive a generous discount off the regular price of the DVD just by entering an All Positive Options "promo code" when they order it.  So when you follow the link we're providing to Full Fathom 5 Productions, in the "promo code" box on the upper right portion of their page, just type in:   APO-Referred

Here's the link to Full Fathom 5 Productions   And once you've watched and/or presented "Dying For Meth," send us a quick email with your thoughts on it.  Your opinion is important to us.

The Meth Education & News Update

Our first issue of The Meth Education & News Update went out on Friday, June 1st, 2007.  Since that time, we've been happy to welcome new subscribers from the U.S., Canada, England, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, The Philippines, American Samoa, plus several other countries.  This is really terrific because ultimately, a percentage of the newsletter's content will come directly from subscribers sharing their experience with meth in their community and/or region.

We think you'll find that our newsletter is the most efficient way of staying current on the meth issue, and like our meth section on the web site, we make every attempt to make it comprehensive and completely accurate.  To learn more about The Meth Education & News Update, please click HERE.
