NPS can kill - the involvement of NPS in drug related deaths is increasing. An analysis of drug related deaths in Scotland in 2013 revealed that New Psychoactive Sustances (NPS) - so called ‘legal highs’ - were found to be present in the person’s body in 113 cases. NPS was found to have been implicated in the person’s death in 60 of those cases. The facts: - Many NPS are new chemicals and haven’t been tested on humans. - Many of these chemicals have been found to contain harmful and toxic contents. - You don’t know what chemical you’re consuming so there is no way of knowing what the substance might do to your body. - Many people have reported unpleasant effects to their physical and mental health as a result of taking these substances, such as psychosis, paranoia and seizures. Why risk it? Legal doesn’t mean safe. Check out our website for lots of useful information about NPS and links to other sources of info:
