Choose Life or Choose Meth is designed to prevent first time
use by de-marketing Methamphetamine. It does this by contrasting the importance
of living a healthy life against the inherent toxicity of Meth, which is
systematically presented as a poison that destroys the physical, mental and
social health of the user. This video replaces the ignorance that leads to bad
decisions with a solid curriculum that leads to good ones. We believe that
choices empower people and if they know what they’ll be giving up to use Meth
then more people will make informed choices that lead to healthier lives.
