12

MAKE THE RIGHT CALL…AND HELP A CLASSMATE MAKE THE RIGHT CALL, TOO


Legal does not mean safe when it comes to drugs

SYNTHETIC THC: SPICE/K2/SPACE/etc. This is not a drug to be taken lightly, users “are risking inducing psychosis, a mood disorder

– Could lead to serious and potentially long-term mental disorders.• The patients experienced anxiety, depression, paranoia and hallucinations to

include seeing “ghosts” and hearing imaginary voices

– Unlike marijuana, synthetic chemicals in spice-type products are more potent to the brain and other organs.

• They bind themselves more permanently to those receptors, at 200 times the level of THC

• It’s not yet known how long these chemicals stay in the body or what changes …happen to those cells, so it is difficult to know how they may harm the brain and the rest of the body

• Chemicals in spice take longer to bind to those receptor cell It takes longer for a spice user to feel the high than a marijuana user. That causes more people to overdose on the substance They will end up using a lot more thinking they might need more to get high

By the Way…

• Approximately 70% of sexual assaults among college students involve alcohol/drug use

– Alcohol/drugs cloud judgment – Alcohol can lead to misinterpreting someone’s behavior– Alcohol and drug use is not a defense for inappropriate behavior

Point to Ponder--Russ Keller--

• A leader is visible all of the time, living in a glass house. Keep in mind the audience is a big one and ever present.

– PRACTICAL ADVICE: Don’t look at the glass house as something negative; the glass house effect is actually a huge advantage that gives us the opportunity to reinforce the good stuff all the time
