NPS's (novel psychoactive substances, also known as "spice") are cheap, easy to get hold of, and hard to detect. Nobody seems to know what can be done to stop this epidemic. A new short film, "The Dummies' Guide To Spice", made with a group of ex-users and drug experts from various fields who work at the cutting edge, explores some of the issues surrounding NPS's. The film looks at novel psychoactive substances from all angles: what are NPS's? What effects do they have? Social consequences? And what could the future hold? The Dummies' Guide aims to give a picture of the situation in an accessible, yet compelling way. Join us on our journey with a group of ex-users who set out to investigate. Written by
