Where can I learn more about preventing the use of synthetic drugs like "bath salts" and synthetic marijuana (also known as spice or K2)?
Partnership for Drug-Free Kids
has created a kit for parents and adult influencers housing the tools they need to talk with their teens about the threat "bath salts" and synthetic marijuana (also known as spice or K2) and to recognize the warning signs of use. The information kit includes
a slidecast
about synthetic drugs, a corresponding podcast and video, and
a printable guide
so parents can present details on what to look for, what the street names are and what the effects of these substances are to others in their community.
Additional information is available in the following resources:
