School & Teacher Resources
This page is built for teachers, school resource officers (SROs), counselors, and administrators who see the front lines up close. The goal is simple: give you clear, printable tools and trusted links so you can recognize these products quickly and respond confidently.
Medical Credibility
MAHA is a pharmacist-led public health project. All educational materials on this site are built from authoritative, verifiable sources including:
- FDA safety communications, import alerts, and consumer updates
- FAERS — FDA Adverse Event Reporting System
- NPDS — National Poison Data System (U.S. Poison Control)
- SUDORS — CDC State Unintentional Drug Overdose Reporting System
- Peer-reviewed toxicology and epidemiology research
Schools, SROs, and families deserve information that is accurate, current, and grounded in medical science — not marketing. MAHA’s mission is to translate complex data into clear, actionable guidance so educators can protect the students in their care.
Printable One-Page Flyers (PDF)
Each flyer is a single page — easy to print, pin on a staff bulletin board, or hand to a concerned parent. All are written for non-medical audiences and focus on recognition, key risks, and what to do next.
- Tianeptine — SRO / Teacher Flyer
Gas-station “antidepressant” marketed as a supplement. Quick overview of the risks, withdrawal profile, and what to look for in convenience stores.
Download Tianeptine SRO Flyer - Yohimbe / Yohimbine — SRO Flyer
High-risk stimulant often hiding in pre-workouts and “male enhancement” products. Linked to panic reactions, blood pressure spikes, and ER visits.
Download Yohimbe SRO Flyer - 7-OH / 7-Hydroxymitragynine — One-Page Explainer
The potent metabolite behind kratom’s opioid-like effects. Shows why 7-OH is far more concerning than marketing suggests.
Download SRO 7OH Flyer - Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) — SRO Flyer
“Mood” and “euphoria” gummies built from kanna alkaloids that act on serotonin. Helpful for spotting new “herbal happiness” products.
Download Kanna SRO Flyer - Blue Lotus / Blue Lily — SRO Flyer
Flower-based products sold as vapes, teas, and gummies with sedative and hallucinogenic potential.
Download Blue Lotus SRO Flyer - High-Stimulant Powders & “Energy” Mixes — General Flyer
One-page overview for powders and shots that don’t fit neatly in a single category but stack caffeine, yohimbine, and other stimulants for extreme effect.
Download Stimulant SRO Flyer - Kratom — SRO / Teacher Flyer
Fast reference for recognizing kratom capsules, shots, gummies, and how their opioid-like effects can appear in the school setting.
Download Kratom SRO Flyer - Amanita Muscaria — SRO Flyer
The red-and-white “fairy-tale mushroom” now sold as gummies, chocolate, and “sleep chews.” Covers muscimol, ibotenic acid, and why “legal” doesn’t mean safe.

When You See a Product You Don’t Recognize
Even with these flyers, you will still find products that don’t match any sheet. That is normal. The market changes faster than any one document can keep up.
- Photograph the product (front label, back label, supplement facts, and any QR codes).
- Note where it was purchased and how it was used or discussed on campus.
- Report it through MAHA’s contact form or to your local health department — many have emerging-drug units.
- Loop in your administration and SRO so the whole team sees the pattern, not just one staff member.
If You Can’t Identify It, Call Poison Control
Your state’s Poison Control Center is more than an emergency hotline — it is your Drug Information Center. You do not need a poisoning or overdose to call.
They can help school staff, counselors, and SROs identify unfamiliar products, check ingredients, confirm risks, and advise on next steps. Every call is free, confidential, and available 24/7.
Poison Control (24/7): 1-800-222-1222
Final Word to Teachers & SROs
You are often the first adults to see these products in the wild — in backpacks, locker rooms, parking lots, and screenshots. By the time medical journals write about a trend, you have already seen it twice.
MAHA built these flyers so you have something short, credible, and specific to stand on. You do not have to memorize every new chemical. You only need to recognize that a pattern is emerging and know where to look for help.
If you need additional flyers, training ideas, or district-level talking points, reach out. We listen to schools first.
