This has led to increased efforts on education and awareness, to some degree.

But, there are still concerns about STI testing services. Users want the best possible tests and kits with fast results, simple methods and confidentiality. They also need those options to be affordable and accessible. Many stick to NHS services, … Read the rest

Synthetic Drugs(K2 Or Spice)

It is far too easy for young people to assume that legal and illegal drugs are either right or bad. Criminalized drugs must be unsafe while legal drugs are safe to take with no consequences. The problem is that this black and white image doesn’t give an accurate representation of the world of dangerous substances.

The best example of this is K2, otherwise known as Spice or Synthetic Marijuana. K2 was once legal on a technicality but is now banned. Government officials are keen to see all “legal highs” like this banned. This is because these drugs are potent, unregulated and highly dangerous.

STD/STI  Testing

The prevalence of STIs and the effectiveness of STD testing clinics are important issues in UK healthcare. Recent data has shown that there is work to do in both areas.

This equated to a 3% decrease in around 435,000 cases, making London on-par with New York City’s STD rates.

This is largely due to a decrease in STD testing for genital warts, HPV, and chlamydia. However, there are concerns over the correlation between reduced accessibility to testing and positive diagnoses. Chlamydia remains a … Read the rest

The Truth About Synthetic Marijuana

Guidance CounselorLeave a reply

Introduction Of Synthetic Marijuana

Synthetic marijuana sounds like the ideal alternative for drug users that can’t obtain the illegal, natural weed. Drug users that cannot get their preferred fix will look for the next best thing. The issue here is that synthetic marijuana is far from it. It is more dangerous and disturbing with poor regulation and communication over its ingredients. That is not another form of weed.

That is a plant material sprayed with synthetic cannabinoids and other chemicals to create a quick, simple high. Their reputation has exploded in recent years, with devastating effect. A recent ban of K2 and Spice came in to combat the issue, but the problem goes much deeper.… Read the rest
