The HSE has unveiled a new national campaign on the dangers of legal and illegal drugs. The campaign is seeking to raise awareness of the dangers and significant negative mental and physical health effects that can be caused by these psychoactive substances.
Legal or illegal highs can cause paranoia, impotence, kidney failure, heart problems, seizures, death or make you act like a fool.
The website www.drugs.ie has been updated to include new information in relation to the campaign, and legal and illegal highs, including information resources for young people and parents/guardians. The HSE Drugs Helpline on 1800 459459 is also available to support the campaign.
