"Initiated a traffic stop on a Nissan altima. Pursuit ensued, passenger threw a bag out of the car during the pursuit. Pursuit came to a stop, guys were arrested, the bag was recovered. Surfing the inventory of the bag and vehicle we found over 300 illegally manufactured pills that they had pressed into Xanax bars but tested positive for codeine. Also found a bottle of promethazine and codeine, numerous prescription pills including oxycodone, hydrocodone, cocaine, alprazolam, Ritalin, weed, and THC butter.
I was at your class…..during the summit. Going over people using prescription drugs in incorrect ways to get high, this was the first time I’ve ever ran into manufactured pills containing multiple categories."
-Officer from a central US state
"Thank you! You gave detailed insight into things we need to be aware of while we work every day. Really appreciate your knowledge and willingness to teach us!"
-Clinician from Idaho at the NADCP conference in Washington DC
"I attended the NADCP conference session on your presentation...
Thanks for your knowledge and passion! It makes learning new trends exciting."
-Attendee
"After attending the RISE 21 program in DC I learned about Phenibut and returned to our rural drug court program and found we were struggling with a client who has been showing signs of use but was not testing positive for anything we would test for. He was previously caught using Kratom and due to community reports and our client having a medical emergency we completed a home search and were able to find 6-7 small containers of Phenibut, GHB, and Metonitazene. I am not sure I would have known or realized Phenibut was an abused product unless attending this program. Thank you!"
-Minnesota Drug Court
"I attended your workshop yesterday in Ga. please add me to your email list and send any of the slides you referenced yesterday. Our program works with 18-26 year olds and your information is so relevant to my staff.
Thank you for a superb training"
-Attendee
"You presented to us in...MI. You were awesome!"
-From an Educator
"I attended your session "High in Plain Sight" at the NADCP conference but only part of our team was able to attend the conference. You hit on SO MANY issues we are seeing right now including our big issue; Tia! We have shared a lot of your information and the handouts from your session with our team including our Judge and DA, but I would love for all of us to be able to hear your presentation. We had our first encounter (that we know of) with Delta-8 this week and I was thrilled to be able to say I knew what that was because of your session!!"

Some trends remain common and popular longer than others. Unfortunately, CHS Syndrome is one of them. Please review this article, to refresh your knowledge....
"Prescription and over- the-counter medications are legal products that should be used only as directed. Unfortunately, many teens are using them to get high."

Prescription and over-the-counter medications are legal products that should be used only as directed. But unfortunately, many teens misuse them to get high.
