Dangerous Meth labs

Story of a young man who started taking Meth in 8th grade, eventually cooking the drug, which led to an explosion that blinded him.

For me, the part of the video that is most telling as to what the Meth world is like: At about 2:50 when he was talking about the fire on the stove as if it was nothing. It happened all the time, you just go shake it and try to get it to go out. Stuff like that is not supposed to be normal.....

This story comes from A&E's Meth: A County in Crisis documentary. Search for the full documentary on YT, as A&E doesn't appear to post it on their website. DVD sales have also been discontinued, although you may be able to find a used copy online. I did find a discussion guide they published to use for discussion with student groups here:
