THE AIMS • To inform teachers of the current information and trends surrounding substance use and misuse, internet safety, anti bullying and safe personal relationships from a health, social and legal perspective • To share best practice approaches to developing pupil self-esteem and self-awareness in relation to substance misuse, internet safety, anti bullying and safe personal relationships..

  5. Cannabis New Emerging Drugs (NEDs) Steroids • Many New Emerging Drugs (NEDs) contain mixes of illegal drugs and • ignorance isn't an excuse for possession Melanotan • Information about NEDs on the Internet is not always reliable. NRG-1 • The people who produce these drugs are only interested in • profit, not your well-being. Mephedrone • Many of these ‘on sale’ drugs are labelled ‘not for human consumption’ • so that dealers (sellers or suppliers) can get around the law and avoid • responsibility for any negative consequences or risks. • New Emerging Drugs (NEDs) can be stronger than illegal drugs; they • are often purer as they are cheap to produce and need not be cut with • anything else. • These drugs have not been properly tested to see how toxic they are • to humans so there is no way of telling how a psychoactive drug will • affect you. We know nothing about the medium or long term effects • of using these drugs MJS Synthetic Cathinones • With illegal and new unclassified drugs the content is not guaranteed • and there are no guidelines for consumption. Taking them is a very big • risk.
