Examples of current designer street drugs such as XTC, AMT, 5-Meo-DMT, LSD, GHB, 1-4 Butanediol, Ketamine, and Khat will be presented. Franklin County Sheriff Deputies will escort the examples throughout the audience for hands on effect.
Current drug paraphernalia examples will be available to depict the ease in camouflaging drug use from adults. A strong emphasis is placed on the physiological effects of the drugs and indicators to look for. So-called “traditional” drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, crack, heroin, and methamphetamine are also covered extensively as teenagers still heavily abuse these drugs.
A portion of the program also deals with prescription medications, including DXM, due to easy accessibility in most households. The entire presentation is back dropped by a PowerPoint slide show depicting additional examples of the drugs being shown.
