Drug Facts... Prescription drug use including oxycontin and fentanyl has risen dramatically among adolescents. Teens are switching from smoking oxycontin to cheaper heroin and often also IV use. Colorado teens admitted to treatment for marijuana abuse and dependence frequently report using diverted medical marijuana. Co-occuring disorders are most often the rule, not the exception, in adolescents with substance use disorders. | | |

Important Update Synthetic cannabinoids are showing up more and more in youth across the state and country. This synthetic marijuana is made in labs and is sold under disguise as incense or other not for human consumption products. Many of these items are becoming illegal which in turn is making a black market for the drugs. Synergy does test for this synthetic drug, which can have devastating consequences, including: confusion, aggression, violence, illness and now reportedly death for the often unaware adolescent consumer. Other synthetic designer drugs are also appearing as different products, such as bath salts. | | |
