Cannabis Spice And Legal Highs Group-Part Of Create Strength Group Charity Number: 1193551

We are a user led abstinence based group, which means we agree collectively toreduce, but ultimately stop the use of cannabis, spice & legal highs within ourmembership. We recognise the damage our drug misuse can do to ourselves and those around us and we choose to seek help from others who have recovered successfully from serious addictions. We have no affiliation to other mutual aid groups but we do support and commend their work. We often refer our members to both meetings and others. Westrongly believe that no one system works for everyone and we encourage our members to experience and embrace many different recovery systems andcommunities. We are not a cannabis appreciation society and we do not advocate legalisation. We do however acknowledge the particular CBD health benefits and call for greater and more accessible transparent research. Similarly, we recognise the failure of subsequent governments to sufficiently support appropriate treatment and recovery programmes. We have achieved many levels of success within our membership, our groups haveproduced and maintained many years of clean-time. We have done this by creating aseries of local meetings in a safe, confidential, non-judgmental and supportiveenvironment, where members can rebuild their lives together. The meetings are open, meaning anyone can attend but we follow a strict policy ofconfidentiality in terms of what is said by our members and the identities of those whoattend. Each meeting is hosted by an experienced nominated facilitator and supportedby senior members. Smoking and vaping is not permitted at any of our venues alongwith drugs and paraphernalia. All members must make a commitment to not using on the day of the meeting. Membership is free and must be voluntary, we are not a part of any DRR (DrugRehabilitation Requirement) scheme ordered by the courts, although we do support ourmembers in such cases where regular attendance and participation can bedemonstrated.
