New Meth Video Teaches Just One Time - Just Don’t!

Dying for Meth is a new video on the dangers of methamphetamine use produced by Full Fathom 5 Productions and Matt Farnsworth Films. Farnsworth was the featured speaker on methamphetamine abuse at the 2005 NACo Annual Conference. His presentation featured clips from a documentary called Poor Mans Dope and a feature film called IOWA. The presentation was very well-received by NACo members in attendance and many requested that the information be made available on DVD.

Since his presentation, the film IOWA was released theatrically in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and many smaller cities in the Midwest. Farnsworth has been featured on a number of news shows, including Fox News Live, Good Day New York, Fox and Friends, and the Situation with Tucker Carlson regarding the meth epidemic and his films.

Farnsworth’s presentation last year focused on the need for education on the methamphetamine problem, particularly the need to educate young people on the dangers of the drug.

Listening to NACo members’ desire for a vehicle to provide this knowledge, he produced the DVD Dying for Meth. This DVD targets junior high school, high school and college students, law enforcement agencies, governmental agencies, church groups and other community organizations with the message JUST ONE TIME - JUST DON’T.

Dying for Meth shows kids how dangerous the drug really is, and the message JUST ONE TIME - JUST DON’T provides the warning that this drug is not one to experiment with. This is a particularly important message right now, when control of precursors is making the mom-and-pop labs of old give way to much more powerful Mexican Ice. Education should now be the focus to slow meth use by controlling demand.

Dying for Meth is designed for viewing in a group setting and is perfect for integration into a junior high or high school curriculum on health education and in law enforcement training.

The program, designed by NACo and Full Fathom 5 Productions, provides NACo members with an incentive to purchase multiple copies of Dying for Meth for distribution across their county. The incentive available to NACo members involves the following discounts on the purchase of the video.
