About Our Shows
Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA), the National Guard Bureau (NGB) and the Multijurisdictional Counterdrug Task Force Training Program (MCTFT) have co-sponsored more than 40 broadcasts on varied topics related to substance abuse prevention, intervention and treatment. Without the valuable support of NGB and MCTFT, coalitions would not have access to this free, training opportunity. CADCA wishes to thank its partners for their commitment to building safe, healthy, drug-free communities.
On DemandThere’s a new and ever-changing class of drugs out there and their effects are unlike anything we have ever seen. Use of designer drugs like bath salts and spice is growing rapidly, even as laws and ordinances take effect to help control their spread.
During this hour-long program, Designer Drugs: The New Frontier, we’ll take a look at this new and emerging drug threat, hear who is most at risk, and learn what we can do about it. We will travel to Bangor, Maine where some experts are saying this is the worst drug epidemic they have ever seen. The show airs Jan. 26, 2012 at 1 p.m. EST.

Think of it as an hour filled with the answers to the questions you’ve always wanted to ask about coalitions, but haven’t. We’re going back to the basics, the fundamentals of what makes coalitions perfect vehicles for community-level change, what we need to know to be a meaningful partner of a coalition, and how we can make our coalition even more effective.

The attitudes about marijuana are changing. Fewer 8th and 10th graders believe smoking marijuana is dangerous. These declines in the perception of harm invariably precede increases in substance use. Today, more 10th and 12th grade students smoke marijuana than cigarettes. Several states have medical marijuana laws on the books and more states are considering putting these types of initiatives on the ballot. Coalitions need the latest information in order to effectively deal with this issue.

It only takes one person to start a rumor, and then it’s off and running. Myths spread fast and soon it is difficult to separate fact from fiction. During this hour-long program Dispelling Drug Myths, hear the facts about drugs from the experts. Find out how the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is working to answer questions teens have. We’ll visit a Virginia school that is being proactive and is helping its students learn the facts and dispel the myths.
