The Scottish Drugs Forum has very recently announced the launch of an introductory, e-learning Drug Awareness Course which is dedicated to raising basic knowledge and awareness of illicit drugs that are commonly used in Scotland. This is excellent news and we are sure this will prove both popular and beneficial.
