Part of a 12-volume series titled Drug Education for Teens, this program takes an in-depth look at cocaine and its derivative crack, exploring the history of the drug, cycle of addiction, and various consequences of being a user--the physical effects, as well as the psychological, sociological, and legal costs. While Cocaine & Crack is intended to be used as a deterrent, the program adopts more of an informative tone than a heavy-handed scare tactic approach, employing excellent graphics, simple but accurate language from experts, and real stories from a variety of former addicts to help viewers make informed and responsible choices about saying “no” to drugs. Other titles in the series include: Alcohol & Alcoholism, Club Drugs, Inhalants, Marijuana, and Steroids. Recommended. Aud: J, H, P. (E. Gieschen)
