SUMMARY:Hidden Hazards Webinar Series: Understanding Today's Evolving Addictions: Toxicology 102
DESCRIPTION:Gas station drugs are a category of substances that are sold legally at gas stations or convenience stores throughout the United States and are typically marketed as legal alternatives to illicit drugs like marijuana\, cocaine\, or MDMA. However\, these substances can be highly dangerous\, as their chemical composition and potency can vary greatly. Furthermore\, testing for gas station drugs can be challenging due to their varying chemical compositions and the fact that they are often not well understood by users or even some medical professionals. This presentation will discuss the various types of substances available and various testing methods to help identify misuse. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nDiscuss the presence and dangers of ‘gas station’ drugs – the growth and availability of multiple toxic substances without the need for Rx or ID to purchase.\n\n\n\nIdentify the ability to detect and test for some of these substances.\n\n\n\nDescribe the characteristics\, intended effects\, and potential adverse outcomes of common gas station drugs to enhance recognition and assessment of misuse in clinical and community settings.
