dc.description.abstract | Synthetic Cannabinoids are classified as psychoactive substances that have dynamic features depending on the nature of the marketplace (Banister and Connor, 2018). Due to the constant chemical changes that Synthetic Cannabinoid products undergo, it is difficult to control them (Spaderna et al., 2013). Although some effects resemble those of Cannabis, Synthetic Cannabinoids usually create harsher effects (Banister and Connor, 2018). This paper will focus on the psychological effects that result from SC intoxication. Some of these effects include £changes in perception, illusions, auditory and visual hallucinations, paranoia, agitation … “ (Bilici, 2014). Symptoms be both short and long term. In order to fulfil the purpose of this research, interviews were conducted with four different professionals, each representing a different local organisation. Information that resulted from the interviews seems to have matched cited articles in this dissertation. | en_GB |
