Talking About Drugs is an essential collection of worksheets containing both information and exercises for study. There is a sheet for each of the major illegal drugs, as well as for a few of the familiar legal varieties. Drugs covered are:
- cannabis
- heroin
- cocaine
- ecstacy
- LSD
- alcohol
- nicotine
- poppers
- G.H.B
- solvents
- magic mushrooms
The sheets cover the appearance, origin, effects and side-effects of each drug along with its long-term medical effects and criminal status. A special sheet summarises the workings of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act in relation to drugs. The collection allows the teacher a selective advantage of which drugs to study. There are also quizzes and wordsearches to test knowledge, with answers in the teacher information.
Talking About Drugs is specifically targeted to fit into the PSHE Syllabus at Secondary Schools. The collection aids pupils and staff in their understanding of specific drugs or can be used in the classroom or during extra-curricular activities. It can be used as a drugs course in its own right.
Sheets are drawn in cartoon form to empathise with drug and youth culture, thus stimulating pupil reading and interest. Wherever knowledge is needed on specific drugs, these sheets will be invaluable.
