CANNABIS – THE FACTS • A big myth about cannabis is that it’s safe because it’s natural. Cannabis has some very real effects on your mood, as well as creating longerterm problems: • Cannabis can make you feel very anxious and even paranoid. • Using it has also been linked, in some people, to serious, long-term mental health problems. • Cannabis is still the most commonly used illegal drug. POSSIBLE SIGNS • LOSS OF APPETITE, DROWSINESS, POOR HYGIENE OR APPEARANCE • MOOD SWINGS • RED RIMMED EYES AND/OR RUNNY NOSE • UNCHARACTERSITIC LOSS OF INTEREST IN SCHOOL, HOBBIES AND FRIENDS • MONEY GOING MISSING REGULARLY AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON • UNUSUAL EQUIPMENT AROUND THE HOUSE CANNABIS – THE EFFECTS • It can cause feelings of anxiety, suspicion, panic and paranoia. • For people with illnesses such as schizophrenia, cannabis can cause a serious relapse. • Increase in the risk of later developing psychotic illnesses including schizophrenia • Cannabis can affect the way the brain works. • Regular, heavy use makes it difficult to learn and concentrate and research has linked cannabis use to poor exam results. This is a potentially serious risk if you’re young, when the brain is still developing. • People who take a lot of cannabis can also find they lack motivation. CANNABIS – COMMON BELIEFS • I CAN POSSESS CANNABIS FOR MY OWN PERSONAL USE • I CAN SMOKE IT IN PRIVATE “WRONG ” • SINCE 26th January 2009 Cannabis has been a CLASS B DRUG. • It is a CRIMINAL and ARRESTABLE offence to possess, supply or cultivate Cannabis WHAT HAPPENS IF FOUND IN POSSESSION? 1st Offence – Possession only If small amount– dealt with under Schools Discipline Policy in partnership with Safer Schools Officer (No police record) If outside school - would be arrested and taken to Police Station and would receive a reprimand (caution) MEPHEDRONE (MCAT) • PLANT DRUG CALLED MEPHEDRONE • STIMULANT DRUG • COMMONLY KNOWN AS MEOW, MIEOW, MEPH OR 4MCC • WAS REGARDED AS LEGAL HIGH • NOT BABY BIO OR MIRACLE GROW NOW ILLEGAL! • A CLASS B DRUG • MAXIMUM 5 YRS FOR POSSESSION • ILLEGAL AS FROM 16TH APRIL 2010 • MAXIMUM 14 YEARS FOR SUPPLY ADVERSE EFFECTS • • • • • • • • • NOSE BLEEDS COUGHING UP BLOOD DIZZY PARANOID HEAD AND EAR ACHE SPEEDS UP HEART RATE PASSING OUT LOSE USE OF LEGS NAUSEA KETAMINE – CLASS C DRUG • POWERFUL ANAESTHETIC • USED IN OPERATIONS ON ANIMALS AND HUMANS • SHORT TERM EFFECTS • CAN CAUSE LOSS OF FEELINS IN BODY • PARALYSIS OF MUSCLES EFFECTS • GIVES FLOATING FEELING – MIND AND BODY SEPARATED • CAN MAKE YOU INCAPABLE OF MOVING • CAN CAUSE HALLUCINATIONS • PANIC ATTACKS HOW LONG ARE DRUGS IN YOU SYSTEM? • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Alcohol 12 - 24 hours Amphetamine 2 - 3 days Cannabis 2 – 7 days – 1 month (for regular users) Cocaine 12 hours – 3 days Crystal Meth 2 - 3 days Diazepam 1 - 2 days Ecstasy 2 - 4 days GHB up to 24 hours Heroin 1 - 2 days Ketamine 5 - 7 days LSD 2 - 3 days Magic Mushrooms (Psilocybin) up to 8 hours Methadone 2 days Steroids 14 days (oral) - 1 month (injected) The Impact Exclusions (to date) • Total: 46 3 for Theft 10 for Smoking 10 for Physical Assault/Violent Behaviour (including fighting) 2 for Sexual Misconduct 6 for verbal abuse • 1 for possession of an offensive weapon • 3 for Challenging Behaviour (These 35 account for approximately 77% of our total exclusions) • • • • • The Impact (continued) • Personal Possessions • Social Events • Theft • Drugs • Alcohol • Peer Pressure • Year 11 Lunchtime Procedures RE/PSHE § Aspects of PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education) and SRE (Sex and Relationships Education) are taught at Key Stage 4 through RE. § The RE department follows the AQA Religious Studies A at GCSE.
