For a limited time, you can purchase THEN and NOW (regularly $149) and OPIOID EPIDEMIC (regularly $149) for the special price of $149.
DVD: OPIOID EPIDEMIC contains stories of those we have lost, a brief history of opioids in the United States, and the recent foundations for the epidemic, including prescription opioids, the rise of heroin and black tar heroin, and the illicit emergence of synthetic opioids such as fentanyl.
DVD: THEN and NOW (Industry Playbooks and Addiction Marketing) is a powerful look at how the tobacco industry used addiction marketing strategies to build a massive consumer base that led to a national public health crisis, and how the current marijuana industry is using all the same marketing tactics.
HOW TO USE THE VIDEOS FOR LOCAL PREVENTION PROGRAMMING
A discussion guide is included in the DVD packages. Organizations, communities, and schools are using these files for roundtable discussions, forums and local events. Successful program models include:
Parents and community leaders (youth and/or adults) meet to watch the videos and then join in follow-up discussion and action planning led by a local experienced facilitator.
Parents and high school students come together to watch the videos and have follow-up discussions. This offers opportunities for conversations to continue at home between parents and their teenagers. Some communities bring in expert panelists to reinforce the science-based content of the videos.
Coalitions view the videos and share in follow-up dialogue/planning to further their work in preventing local teen vaping, marijuana, and opioid use.
Using the videos in health classes with a teacher leading the discussion. Teachers are encouraged to see the video ahead of time and explore their own perceptions and attitudes in preparation for classroom discussions with students. Holding preliminary teacher screenings helps prepare educators for varying elements of the discussion that may surface in the classroom.
Hospital staff educational opportunities where doctors, nurses, and medical providers come together to watch and discuss the videos.

“I’m so impressed, I play it during my presentations!”
“This film is a dramatic eye-opener on the marijuana movement - all conscientious Americans should see it.”
“This DVD has to be one of the very best efforts ever to enter the fray, and I congratulate you and your company on this intelligent, compelling, exceptionally well produced piece. Our local coalition showed Then and Now at our county meeting and it was, to say the least, a WOW response. The county purchased copies for local coalitions. Our original copy is being circulated through the health classes at the high school.”
“My wife and I watched the 11-minute video last night and we were both EXTREMELY impressed with the production values, the content, and the powerful message. It is unlike anything that I have seen and is an essential tool for drug education efforts. THEN and NOW is a “must see” for every public official.”
“As pediatricians, our ultimate responsibility is to the health of the children and families that we serve. Yet Then and Now shows how Big Tobacco used doctors to promote a product whose health effects were catastrophic while the pediatric community stayed largely silent. It wasn’t until we learned about the secondary effects of tobacco that pediatricians became engaged. Now we’re dealing with a new threat to child and adolescent health: cannabis. This time we want pediatricians to be the leaders. Let’s be the first ones to speak out about the primary effects on teens and secondary effects on younger children.”
“While scientific evidence is mounting about the adverse effects of cannabis on physical and mental health, and brain development, the emerging marijuana industry sees the next big cash crop. Then and Now provides us with an important history lesson - the eerily similar story of how tobacco advertising manipulated the public despite the research about its harms. This video is a must-see as our society faces the multi-million dollar onslaught of pro-marijuana marketing, especially the ads and products targeting our youth.”
“Outstanding DVD! I watched it and knew I wanted it!”
