Synthetic Drugs in the News, Causing Sickness and Death, and Now a Great Powerpoint to Learn More!

   The news broke this weekend that 3 students from East High School were taken to the hospital due to "poisoning" and supposedly got "poisoned" by smoking a synthetic drug called K2/Spice. Click here to read the story. Synthetic drugs like K2, Spice, and Bath Salts are some scary stuff. Kids can get their hands on them fairly easy, each time a kid tries them the affects can be different, and the products are not technically meant to be consumed or smoked to begin with. And the stories I have heard from medical professionals and other counselors make me wonder if these synthetic drugs aren't the worst drug out there affecting our teens. But the good news is that their is information out there to help us learn more. A great resource to start with is this powerpoint. Please click through this powerpoint and educate yourself and your child about the dangers or these "seemingly harmless" drugs. They are not harmless....they are dangerous and possibly deadly
