Spaced 
Some pro-drug groups state that decriminalising drugs will offer modern day miracles.
But while experimentation might seem relatively risk free, there are risks associated with not knowing all the facts. First time users can easily overdose - especially if the source of drugs isn't known.
Students play a game of chance, using a virtual character as their guinea pig. Nine drugs are covered in detail (tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, speed, ecstasy, heroin, ketamine, and LSD). Students learn strategies to help them cope with peer pressure.
Aims:
During this activity students will explore the moral and social dilemmas associated with drug use. After completing the activity and accompanying worksheets, students should be able to:- Identify the health risks associated with alcohol, tobacco and drug use
- Recognise sources of peer pressure and identify strategies to deal with peer pressure
- Understand that drugs have social as well as individual consequences
