In this episode of Jus’ Ah Conversation, we’re tackling a critical and evolving issue—New Psychoactive Substances (NPS). These lab-created drugs are designed to mimic traditional illicit substances but often come with unpredictable and dangerous consequences.

We’re also introducing our final main host, Fabian Belgrave, after welcoming Shayla Murrell last week! He and Aisha Reid are joined by experts in substance abuse prevention and forensic science to break down what NPS are, how they’re detected, and the alarming effects they have on public health and society.

Our guests include:
🔹 Troy Wickham – Deputy Manager, NCSA
🔹 Cheryl A. Corbin – Director, Forensic Sciences Centre
🔹 Makeada Bourne – Substance Abuse Prevention Officer & Social Worker, NCSA

Together, they explore the risks, trends, and strategies for tackling the NPS crisis—from law enforcement challenges to community prevention efforts.
