  1. What does 'NPS' stand for in relation to UK drug awareness?

    Answer: New Psychoactive Substances

    NPS stands for New Psychoactive Substances, formerly known as 'legal highs'. The Psychoactive Substances Act 2016 made it illegal to produce, supply, or import any psychoactive substance intended for human consumption.

  2. Under the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016, which of the following is an offence?

    Answer: Producing a psychoactive substance for supply

    The Act makes it an offence to produce, supply, offer to supply, possess with intent to supply, import or export psychoactive substances. Simple possession for personal use is not an offence. Alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, and medicines are exempt.

  3. GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate) is commonly associated with which type of crime in licensed premises?

    Answer: Drink spiking and sexual assault

    GHB is commonly used as a 'date rape drug' because it is colourless, odourless, and can cause sedation and memory loss when added to drinks. Door supervisors must be vigilant for signs of drink spiking.

  4. What is the purpose of a drug amnesty bin at a venue entrance?

    Answer: To allow patrons to voluntarily dispose of drugs without prosecution before entry

    Drug amnesty bins allow patrons to discard substances voluntarily before entering a venue without facing prosecution. This is a harm-reduction approach agreed upon with local police and licensing authorities.

  5. Which of the following is a sign that someone may have taken MDMA (ecstasy)?

    Answer: Jaw clenching, sweating, and dilated pupils

    MDMA is a stimulant and empathogen. Common signs include jaw clenching (bruxism), teeth grinding, excessive sweating, dilated pupils, increased energy, and heightened sociability.

  6. If a door supervisor suspects a patron's drink has been spiked, what is the correct course of action?

    Answer: Keep the drink as evidence, ensure the patron's safety, call the police and seek medical help

    The drink should be preserved as evidence, the patron should be kept safe and not left alone, police should be contacted, and medical assistance sought if needed. Pouring the drink away destroys vital evidence.
