using the Drug Info website for HSC students

This website is a great resource for HSC students. There is information on alcohol, tobacco and illicit drugs; drug and alcohol effects; mental, health and drug & alcohol use; how to talk to others about drug use and where to go for help.
http://www.druginfo.sl.nsw.gov.au/ is a gateway to both factsheets and detailed information. There is a specific section for Students and Teachers which is particularly useful for PDHPE and Society and Culture students.
