Sideffect

After presenting to over 155,000 students in the past 2 years Sideffect Australia are pleased to announce our association with The Orange Card, a Western Australian drug awareness organization developing digital online modules that will revolutionize the way Alcohol and Drugs are presented in the workplace.
Our mission is to keep our family, friends, and parents, aware of any current illicit drugs or drug trends that are appearing on our streets and Australian regional communities. As an organization we are very concerned with the high amount of manufactured synthetic chemical drugs that are now present in our schools, streets and in the workplace. These drugs are of great concern causing illness, death, and depression to many people.

Sideffect has also developed a phone App which will inform you instantly of dangerous drugs in the marketplace. This is a perfect tool for the festival goers at concerts or at any social gathering event in real time. This App could save your life, or one of your friends. It will make a real difference. Parents haver your children download the App its free and informative.

Nangs: Nitrous oxide

With school holidays coming to an end in Australia there has been a large increase of Nangs being found at local parks. Nangs are a small canister that contains nitrous oxide (N2O) usually inhaled via filled balloons. N2O poisoning is on the rise recently as it is short acting, and its effect may be underestimated. The urge to use large amounts in one sitting can lead to lifelong disabilities if used excessively. When combined with alcohol and GHB or other depressants unexpected loss of consciousness can occur due to the lack of oxygen to the brain. Mixing this drug with amphetamines or M**A can increase the disorienting effect and cause serous anxiety and panic. If any signs of danger and overdose are detected immediately call for emergency attendance. For regular live updates on dangerous drugs download the ‘Sideffect Alert’ App on your phone.

STAY SAFE and KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR FRIENDS.

Authorities have issued a warning over dangerous M**A pills circulating in Sydney, which are believed to be more than double the strength of the average dose.
New South Wales Police have seized a number of the pills in recent weeks, that are blue in colour and are marked with a superman logo.
High-dose M**A or ecstasy pills have been linked to serious illness and even death in NSW, with overdose symptoms ranging from paranoia to seizures.
"While one M**A tablet or capsule alone can cause life-threatening toxicity, the risk is greatly increased if high doses or multiple M**A tablets or capsules are consumed over a short period," Acting Medical Director of the NSW Poisons Information Centre Professor Andrew Dawson said.
"It can cause severe agitation and paranoia, raised body temperature, seizures or fits, irregular heart rhythm and death."
These pills are especially dangerous if consumed in combination with other stimulants such as alcohol or co***ne.
"Hot and humid weather will also increase the dangers, as M**A causes the body to dangerously overheat, potentially leading to organ failure, loss of consciousness and death,"
Should a person seem unwell after taking M**A, Triple Zero should immediately be called.
"Look after your mates. If you feel unwell, or if your friend feels unwell, do something about it. Don't ignore it. You won't get into trouble for seeking medical care," - Rod Bridge, Founder Sideffect Australia
