Viele unterschätzen, wie schnell synthetische Cannabinoide wirken können.

Innerhalb von Sekunden kann sich ein vermeintlich entspannter Konsum in Herzrasen, Schwindel und starke Angst verwandeln oder schlimmer!

Der Körper reagiert dann wie auf eine akute Stresssituation.

Synthetische Cannabinoide wirken oft deutlich aggressiver auf das Nervensystem als #THC.
Das kann sich äußern durch:
massive innere Unruhe,
starke Nervosität und das Gefühl, körperlich komplett überdreht zu sein.
Ein Zustand, den viele so von #Cannabis nicht kennen.

Could Stimulant Replacement Therapy Reduce Cocaine and Stimulant Harms? - TalkingDrugs Stimulant replacement therapy needs to be taken seriously as a harm reduction approach to improving the lives of those using stimulants.

Interesting article about stimulant replacement therapy, similar to medications for opioid use disorders. Prescribing ADHD meds is one option and has been successful in Canada. #harmreduction #addiction #stimulants

Washington County directs opioid-settlement funds to drug recovery court and naloxone program The Washington County Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution directing opioid‑settlement funds to local programs, authorizing $5,000 for a Drug Recovery Court match and $21,230.19 for naloxone distribution/harm‑reduction through the Martin‑Tyrrell‑Washington Health Department; prior allocations were ratified and spending periods adjusted.

Washington County is taking a bold step in the fight against opioids by directing settlement funds to enhance local drug recovery and naloxone distribution programs!
