About Create Strength Group
Formed in March 2015 by service users and staff of the Bridge Project in Bradford , The Cannabis, Spice and Legal Highs Group was born from a need to service past and current users of cannabis, spice and legal highs and their families.
For the purpose of our group, we refer to Spice as all analogue cannabinoids that are designed and distributed to closely mimic cannabis in a ready to smoke form. We use the term ‘legal highs’ to cover all man made synthetic versions of street drugs that copy the effects and appearance of drugs now known as Novel Psychoactive Substances.
Despite being the most commonly used illegal drug, cannabis has the lowest levels of specialist mutual aid support within user led addiction services. The recent advent of spice and legal highs use has left users even less well catered for.
