We are excited to share two new resources published by Crew: our new THC vapes resource and our latest version of the Psychoactive Drugs booklet.
Recent data from Crew’s safer nightlife survey showed a rising trend in vaping among young people, aligning with Census findings that up to 10.1% of 15-year-olds in Scotland may now regularly vape. After an increase in questions about THC vape products during our training sessions, we realised it was time to launch a new resource. So, on 420 we did!
Our new THC vapes booklet covers:
- What a THC vape is and how it compares to other cannabis products.
- Potential health risks associated with vaping THC.
- Synthetic cannabinoids and how to test vapes to ensure they are what they say they are.
- Harm reduction tips and other practical advice on how to reduce the risks of using THC vapes.
- Advice for use in the event of a drug emergency and support for anybody who might be looking to cut down on their consumption.
Our Psychoactive Drugs Booklet encompass a wide range of substances that alter the mind and behaviour. Our new resource provides detailed information on:
- A range of 16 different psychoactive drugs: their street names, appearance, legality and effects.
- Harm Reduction strategies: general harm reduction as well more specific information depending on the route of administration (how someone is taking drugs)
- How to spot an overdose.
- What to do in an emergency.
- Skills and techniques for brief interventions and signposting for support.
