Dear Colleagues,
I recently received an email (forwarded through the higher educ center
listserve) from Bill Smith at University of Kansas re: a compilation of
resources for education/activities about club drugs. I found it extremely
helpful and have passed the info on to my staff for programming.
One of my staff members and I did a presentation on club drugs at the
higher ed center's alcohol, drug and violence prevention annual conference,
fall 2000. We have compiled current research materials into a publication
called "X (and Other Drug) Files: Myths and Mysteries of Popular Drug and
Herbal Use". In addition to the club drugs info, (including GHB and GBL,
X, roofies, acid, cat, DXM, Ketamine,nitrous oxide, and PMA), the book
covers precautions associated with the use of herbal remedies. We find more
students (and the general population)are using herbal remedies, without
understanding side effects and possible interactions that can occur when
combined with any other drug use, both licit and illicit drugs. In
addition, there is a brief section on the abuse of Ritalin, also popular
among students.
The publication is now available by order. I will be happy to forward the
information to anyone interested. Please send me an email request at
<shovers@uncwil.edu>.
Again, thank you to all your list members who took the time to compile
their ideas. Great stuff!
Most sincerely,
"Sam" Shover
