Drugspotting : Introduction (1 of 9)
		Most of the blags that you get about drugs are from ‘the street’ - from your mates, from others who have taken certain drugs (or say they have!) or from someone trying to sell them to you. The rest comes from the telly or the newspapers - neither are very reliable for the facts. These cards have information on some of the drugs that are around at the moment. If you use drugs, or you’re thinking about using any drug, or don’t want to, but just want to know more - this set of 9 cards is for you. Pass them around your mates. If you’ve got any questions, ask a friendly face at your local youth or community centre, or call up the free number on the bottom of these cards (you can ask anything - and it’s completely confidential, in other words no one else will get to know). The message on each of these cards is: Using any drug is risky, using more or mixing drugs increases the risks - to yourself and others.				Drugspotting - cards and poster were designed by young people like you, from South Liverpool (the Dingle and Speke & Garston) using knowledge, research and design skills from the artskills course: Clare Windever, Michael Calvey, Barry Chatten, Mark Towns, Alan Crane and Michael Breen. Drugspotting - managed by artskills, wish to thank everyone who helped in the process: Liverpool DAT (Drug Action Team), Merseyside Drugs Prevention Team, Alan Mathews, STEC, Liverpool Social Partnership, Safer Cities, Dingle SRB and Speke Garston Partnerships and especially HIT.
