Newspaper headlines are filled with horror stories about the devastating effects of new synthetic drugs like Spice and K2 (synthetic marijuana) and bath salts (a cocaine substitute). Teens see how underground labs profit by concocting new compounds that mimic the effects of illegal drugs. Filmed in a gritty, documentary style, former users pull no punches as they tell students just how dangerous these new drugs are. The message is clear: Anyone taking these or any new, unknown drugs is risking serious injury or death.
