A Little ABC of Drugs – Questions and Answers

Target group:

Mul­ti­pli­ca­tors from the school and out-of-school context.

Description:

After a general intro­duc­tion to the topic of drugs (preventive thinking, drug debate, motives for drug use, and much more), the following psy­choac­tive substances are treated separately:

• Alcohol (At what age are young people allowed to drink high-proof alcohol? What do the terms, ​“binge drinking” and ​“flat-rate party” mean? Are there new trends in alcohol consumption?)
• Tobacco (What’s more dangerous: cigarettes or hookahs (shishas)? What do new studies say about e‑cigarettes?)
• Cannabis (What does legal­iza­tion or regulation. of cannabis mean? What is the difference between THC and CBD? What are synthetic cannabi­noids?)
• Stimulant drugs (Are energy drinks also drugs? Is cocaine just a drug for the chic and well-heeled and what about speed (amphet­a­mines)? Are XTC pills in demand in Luxembourg?)
• Sedative drugs (Are tran­quil­iz­ers common among students? Is codeine a topic among young people? What is GHB? What role do opioids (e.g. heroin) play in adolescence?)
• Psychedelic drugs (What is the difference between LSD and so-called ​“magic mushrooms”? Are psy­che­delics common among students and young people? Is microdosing a new trend?).
