  • Call 911 if anyone is injured or to report your accident. If you chose not to, make sure to exchange license, insurance info and take pictures with your cell phone of any damage or injuries.

    First decide whether or not anybody has been injured.

    If yes, call 911 and report your accident including location and type(s) of injury(ies). The 911 operator will also request other information they will need.

    If there are not any injuries, you may still need to call 911 and report your accident. If you do not call 911, you should exchange drivers license information, insurance information, and take pictures, if you have a camera, of your vehicle, the other vehicle, and any other property damage. You may also need to write down witness information of person or persons who seen the accident. Contact the CISD Police Dept. ASAP or someone from the school who can contact me and I will try to assist the person(s) involved. If a DPS Trooper does not come to the accident, you will need to go by the DPS office on the loop in Nacogdoches to pick up a "blue form". A "blue form" is an accident report that you will complete to report your accident to the state.

  • Commercially available products sprayed with synthetic cannabinoids that are deemed illegal under the laws of the State of Texas.

    The terms Spice and K2 refer to commercially available products that have been sprayed with research chemicals called synthetic cannabinoids but do not contain any cannabis (marijuana) components. Synthetic cannabinoid products are manufactured in Asia then sold in local U.S. markets including gas stations, liquor stores, convenient stores, smoke shops, and on the internet. Some brand names on the internet are "K2", "Spice", "Chronic Spice", "Spice Gold", "Stinger", "Black Mamba", and "Earthquake" to name a few.

    These brand names do not begin to cover all the different types of similar products on the market today. Synthetic cannabinoids are being sold as incense and the contents sometimes have warning labels that say "NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION". In reality they are marketed purely for human consumption. There is a national ban that includes 5 names of the many synthetic cannabinoids but this does not begin to cover the new name brands that are being produced.

    What is a synthetic cannabinoid? Synthetic cannabinoids are a structurally diverse class of mostly synthetic substances that bind to cannabinoid receptors in our body, and when ingested create a similar type of high that naturally occurring cannabinoids (marijuana) produce. Synthetic cannabinoids are used in an attempt to avoid the laws that make marijuana illegal.

    Are there any dangers involved in using Spice, K2, or similar products? The short answer is yes. Until a drug is tested, it cannot be considered safe. The addiction potential of these products is not fully known at this time but reports indicate that addiction potential is very strong. Another cause for concern regarding the danger of these substances is because they are surreptitiously added to other substances, thus the amount of the compound present cannot exactly be measured. Spice and K2 are becoming alarmingly more popular among younger generations due to their accessibility.

    Synthetic cannabinoids have been associated with impaired driving incidents, attempted suicides, and emergency room visits, and have been linked to such adverse effects as increased anxiety, nausea, panic attacks, heart palpitations, respiratory complications, aggression, mood swings, altered perception, and paranoia. In the Dallas area there was a concern over a possible link between K2 use and heart problems in at least two users in the area. Spice and K2 have since been banned in the metro Dallas area since these incidents occurred.

    Many adolescents (some studies report upwards of 75% of all adolescents) will experiment with alcohol and/or other drugs. Experimentation often leads to regular use, which can then lead to adolescents who meet the criteria for substance abuse or dependence. Depression and other psychological concerns can accompany drug and alcohol misuse and abuse. These issues should be properly assessed, and if deemed necessary, addressed in an appropriate clinical treatment environment.
