Flakka, Meth, and New Synthetic Drugs

Sexualized Drug Use

On November 7, Dr. Fawcett participated in Sunserve’s 12th Annual LGBT Quality Care Conference held this year at Barry University in Miami Shores. Over 120 mental health professionals attended a variety of workshops geared for those interested in starting work with this population, as well as more advanced topics.

Dr. Fawcett addressed the growing problem of synthetic drugs which are creating both psychological and medical crises across Florida and, increasingly, around the nation. His talk, “NEW SYNTHETICS ON THE STREET: FLAKKA, PSYCHEDELICS, AND ‘INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH’ METH” contained abundant information on this emerging crisis.
