Synthetics

Did You Know that Synthetic Psychoactive Substances are a large and growing group of manufactured chemicals found in New Zealand?

Some speed up bodily functions and are usually found as pills or powders. Some, usually smoked, slow the brain and body down, and some cause hallucinations. These chemicals often have much more unpleasant effects and dangerous side-effects, than the traditional drugs they mimic, such as cannabis, MDMA, LSD and speed. 

There are hundreds of manufactured chemicals available on the black market. Though they may look similar to the drugs they mimic they smell different, and can be a lot stronger with very different effects. For example, most synthetic cannabinoids can be 75 - 100 times stronger than the THC found in cannabis, overwhelming the brain’s receptors with unpredictable results. None of these chemicals have been tested as being safe, and it’s impossible to know how you will be affected. 

Some of these chemicals may make you feel relaxed, others can make you energetic and talkative, however they can also cause you to feel agitated, paranoid, and uncoordinated. The comedown from Synthetic Psychoactive Substances can last for several days with anxiety, body aches and difficulty sleeping. Using larger amounts or long term use will increase the unpleasant effects. Higher doses may lead to vomiting, psychosis, seizures and organ failure. Also, mixing psychoactive substances with medication or other drugs can have unpredictable and harmful results.

So, remember, it’s best to avoid using Synthetic Psychoactive Substances as they can be unpredictable and unpleasant. 

If you choose to use them, then:

• Only use a small amount
• Take breaks to eat and sleep
• Always look out for your mates

I mohio koe ... ko nga Taonga Hinengaro Hinengaro he waahanga nui me te tipu o nga matū hangaia e kitea ana i Aotearoa.

Ko etahi ka tere ake i nga mahi a te tinana ka kitea he pire he paura ranei.

Ko etahi, he paowa ana, e whakaheke ana i te roro me te tinana, a ko etahi ka puta ke te mauri.

Ko enei matū he maha tonu nga painga kino me nga awangawanga taha kino, nui atu i nga raau taero tuku iho e peehia ana e ratou, penei i te kai whakapiri, MDMA, LSD me te tere. He rau nga matū hangaia e waatea ana i te maakete pango.

Ahakoa he orite te ahua ki nga raau taero e taarua ana he rereke te haunga o te kakara, ka kaha ke atu me nga awangawanga rereke. Hei tauira, ko te nuinga o nga cannabinoids waihanga ka 75 - 100 wa te kaha atu i te THC e kitea ana i roto i te kai whakapiri, ka kaha ki nga kaiwhakawhiwhi o te roro me nga hua kaore e mohiotia.

Kaore tetahi o enei matū i whakamatauhia he haumaru, aa kaore e taea te mohio ka pa atu koe ki a koe.

Ko etahi o enei matū ka noho humarie koe, ma etahi ka kaha koe ki te korero me te korero, engari ka taea hoki e koe te awangawanga, te poauau, me te kore korero.

Ko te comedown mai i te Hinengaro Hinengaro Hinengaro ka roa mo etahi ra ma te manukanuka, te mamae o te tinana me te uaua ki te moe.

Ma te whakamahi i te moni nui, te whakamahi roa ranei ka whakanui i nga raru kino. Ko te nui o te horopeta ka mate pea i te ruaki, te hinengaro, te parekura me te ngoikore o te okana.

Ko te whakaranu ano hoki i nga matū hinengaro ki te rongoa me era atu raau taero ranei, kaore pea he hua ka puta he kino.

Na, kia mahara, he pai ke ki te karo i te whakamahi i nga Matapihi Hinengaro Hinengaro na te mea ka kore e mohiotia, ka kino hoki.

Mena kua whiriwhiria e koe kia whakamahia, - kia iti noa te moni e whakamahia ana. - Whakatika ki te kai me te moe, - me tirotiro tonu mo o hoa.
