NCSA investigating new addictive drug

Barbadians should know soon if a new addictive drug is present in Barbados.

An investigation was launched after videos on social media appeared to show people using a substance with severe side effects.

The drug is believed to fall into the category of new psychoactive substances or NPS.

Deputy Manager of the National Council on Substance Abuse, Troy Wickham, says samples have been sent to the Government Forensic Sciences Centre for testing.

Director of the Forensic Sciences Centre, Cheryl Corbin, says the process of testing the drug is very laborious and can’t be rushed.
