Meth
Documentary Film (79min)
by Todd Ahlberg
Review |
Meth includes the stories of current and former users as well as an overview and history of the epidemic in gay culture. Filmmaker Todd Ahlberg said, "Something sinister has descended over [gay] culture in the last few years. I've seen friends shift, falter and disappear. Meth use has created this shadow over gay men."

Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines
book by Nic Sheff, David Sheff's son
Amazon link |
| Nic Sheff narrates his story with many flashbacks that document in excruciating detail the drug underworld and how he dragged others whom he loved and himself down into a seemingly bottomless pit of despair. The author, in recovery (though not for the first time), nonetheless ends his memoir on a note of hope.

Tweakers: How Crystal Meth Is Ravaging Gay America
book by Frank Sanello |
| Drawing upon conversations with addicts as well as experts in the gay community and at drug treatment centers, journalist Frank Sanello examines how crystal-meth abuse is reaching epidemic levels among gay men, and how almost one-third of the new cases of HIV are caused by the decreased mental capacity associated with crystal. Tweakers get a quick, cheap high, an exhilarating loss of inhibition and increased stamina at the price of permanent behavioral changes, brain damage and death.
