Legal does not mean safe when
it comes to drugs
n SYNTHETIC THC: SPICE/K2/SPACE/etc. This is not a drug to
be taken lightly, users “are risking inducing psychosis, a mood disorder
– Could lead to serious and potentially long-term mental disorders.
• The patients experienced anxiety, depression, paranoia and hallucinations to
include seeing “ghosts” and hearing imaginary voices
– Unlike marijuana, synthetic chemicals in spice-type products are
more potent to the brain and other organs.
• They bind themselves more permanently to those receptors, at 200 times
the level of THC
• It’s not yet known how long these chemicals stay in the body or what
changes …happen to those cells, so it is difficult to know how they may
harm the brain and the rest of the body
• Chemicals in spice take longer to bind to those receptor cell
n It takes longer for a spice user to feel the high than a marijuana user.
n That causes more people to overdose on the substance
n They will end up using a lot more thinking they might need more to get high

Point to Ponder
--Russ Keller-• A leader is visible all of the time, living in a glass
house. Keep in mind the audience is a big one
and ever present.
– PRACTICAL ADVICE: Don’t look at the glass house
as something negative; the glass house effect is
actually a huge advantage that gives us the
opportunity to reinforce the good stuff all the time
Never Underestimate Your Effect on People
