While those behind the ‘What’s In The Powder?’ campaign say they are not advocating drug-use, the promotion will see factsheets circulated to students. The sheets offer tips on when and how to take drugs, and what to do while high to ensure a safe experience.
The factsheets tell students that it is always safest not to take illicit drugs, but gives practical advice to those who take powdered substances such as cocaine, amphetamine, MDMA, ketamine, 2C-B and N-Bomb.
Authorities believe that N-Bomb was the hallucinogenic substance taken by Millstreet teen Alex Ryan, who died following a house party last January in Cork. Mr Ryan’s sister Nicole Ryan has since campaigned to raise awareness of the dangers of taking drugs.
