EnhanceTV :: Educational TV Themes :: Drugs: Legal (Theme Pack)

Drugs: Legal (Theme Pack)
Drugs: Legal (Theme Pack) 
A compilation of five programs around the topic of legal drugs. The programs deal with alcohol, tobacco, oxycodone and a variety of drugs used to treat psychiatric disorders in children. Programs include:

FOUR CORNERS: OXY - THE HIDDEN EPIDEMIC

A story that reveals how the misuse of powerful prescription drugs is creating a new generation of addicts. For much of the past three decades, authorities have waged war against the importation and sale of illegal drugs. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on law enforcement and drug rehabilitation programs. Now, reporter Matthew Carney reveals that while illegal drugs remain a major problem, many experts believe the widespread use and abuse of legally prescribed opioid-based drugs (known as oxycodone) could create a new and devastating drug epidemic across the suburbs of Australia.

THE TRUTH ABOUT CIGARETTES

Today, 1.1 billion people will smoke a cigarette, 40,000 people will embark on their first day of kicking the habit, 12,500 kids will try their first cigarette and 370 smokers will be diagnosed with lung cancer. This film teases apart perhaps the strangest affair we've ever had - our love/hate relationship with the cigarette.

FOUR CORNERS: ON THE PISS

Is the Government's attack on binge drinking doomed to fail? Matthew Carney confronts Australia's booze-drenched culture. It soothes nerves, loosens tongues and triggers sexual adventures. For some people, however fleetingly, it solves all the problems of the world. But its addictive and disinhibiting effects can give rein to abuse and violence of the worst kind. Australians are increasingly aware of the destructive downside of alcohol.

LOUIS THEROUX: AMERICA'S MEDICATED KIDS

An increasing number of children are being diagnosed with all sorts of psychiatric disorders. But how easy is it to distinguish between a distinctive personality and a diagnosable condition? Louis Theroux visits the University of Pittsburgh Psychiatric clinic to find out.

CUTTING EDGE: THE MEDICATED CHILD

In recent years, there's been a dramatic increase in the number of children being diagnosed with serious psychiatric disorders and prescribed medications that are just beginning to be tested in children. The drugs can cause serious side effects, and virtually nothing is known about their long-term impact. In The Medicated Child, producer Marcela Gaviria confronts psychiatrists, researchers and government regulators about the risks, benefits and many questions surrounding prescription drugs for troubled children. The biggest current controversy surrounds the diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
