• Stimulants
• Marijuana
• Depressants
• Hallucinogens
• Narcotics
• Steroids
• Inhalants
• Designer Drugs

2
ADDICTION

• Physical addiction-body chemistry changes,
• The body must have the drug to function normally
• Psychological addiction- a strong mental craving
  for the drug
• This can occur without physical addiction

Drugs produce euphoria by imitating the brains
natural way of producing feelings of
pleasure. Endorphins- pleasure-producing
chemical of the brain. Dysphoria- lack of
endorphins produces unpleasant feelings

DRUG ABUSE DEFINED

• Drug use- taking of a drug correctly
• ex medicine
• Drug abuse- taking of a drug for nonmedical
  purpose, and in a manner that can damage ones
  health
• Drug misuse- taking of a drug for its correct
  medial purpose, but not in the right amount,
  frequency, strength or manner.
• Recreational drug use- people who take mind
  altering drugs and claim no harmful health
  effects.

DEPRESSANTS

• Slows down the brain and the central nervous
  system

BARBITURATES/SEDATIVES
Today there are many legally prescribed drugs
that are being abused. Of those abused, those
with depressive qualities are among the most
widely abused. Barbiturates are used in the
treatment of anxiety disorders, tension, panic
attacks and sleep disorders. In high doses, some
depressants are used as general anesthetics.
Barbiturates Barbiturates, such as
mephobarbital (Mebaral) and pentobarbital sodium
(Nembutalare used to treat anxiety, tension, and
sleep disorders.

GHB

• GHB (Gama Hydroxybutyric Acid) is a synthetic
  depressant produced in clandestine labs. While
  available as a prescription for sleep disorders
  in some other countries GHB was banned by the FDA
  in 1990 because of the dangers associated with
  its use. However, on July 17th, 2002, GHB was
  approved for treatment of a rare form of
  narcolepsy. Most of the GHB used in the U.S. is
  illegally manufactured within its borders.

9
GHB

•  GHB can be made from ingredients such as GBL
  (gamma-butyrolactone), a solvent commonly used as
  a paint stripper, or butanediol (1,4-butanediol),
  a chemical used in the production of plastics and
  adhesives. Both GBL and butanediol are
  metabolized into GHB in the body. GHB, GBL, and
  butanediol are difficult to trace because they
  quickly leave the body and may be difficult to
  detect in emergency rooms and other treatment
  facilities. The FDA has issued warnings for both
  GBL and 1,4-butanediol, stating that the drugs
  have a potential for abuse and are a public
  health danger.
• GHB is known as "G," "liquid x","caps," "scoop,"
  "goop," "georgia home boy," and "grievous bodily
  harm"        GHB is a clear odorless liquid
  (usually mixed with alcohol) or a white powder
  (usually made into tablets or capsules.) GHB is
  snorted, smoked, or mixed into drinks. The most
  commonly abused form is the liquid. On the
  street, it is usually sold as a liquid by the
  dose (a capful from a bottle or drops). In some
  cities, GHB is put into water guns, and users buy
  it by the squirt. In other instances, candy, such
  as a lollipop, is dipped in GHB and sold.
• Source SAMHSA/CSAT, "GHB A Club Drug to Watch,"
  Substance Abuse Treatment Advisory, Nov.
  2002Effects The effects of GHB vary each time a
  person uses it and it affects each person
  differently. Initial effects include euphoria and
  relaxation. Within 15 minutes nausea, dizziness,
  drowsiness, visual disturbances, respiratory
  distress, amnesia, seizures, and coma are
  possible. It is difficult to predict a person's
  reaction to GHB-- because GHB is produced in
  clandestine labs, the purity and strength of
  doses vary. Coma, poisoning and death resulting
  from ingestion of GHB have been well documented.
  As of November 2000, DEA documented 71
  GHB-related deaths.
• Coma and seizures can occur following abuse of
  GHB and, when combined with methamphetamine,
  there appears to be an increased risk of seizure.
  Combining use with other drugs such as alcohol
  can result in nausea and difficulty breathing.
  GHB may also produce withdrawal effects,
  including insomnia, anxiety, tremors, and
  sweating. Because of concern about Rohypnol, GHB,
  and other similarly abused sedative-hypnotics,
  Congress passed the "Drug-Induced Rape Prevention
  and Punishment Act of 1996" in October 1996. This
  legislation increased Federal penalties for use
  of any controlled substance to aid in sexual
  assault.

10
GHB

• Like Rohypnol, GHB is considered a "date rape"
  drug because it can be mixed with liquids (even
  water) and a victim wouldn't notice by smelling
  or looking at it. GHB, by itself, has a soapy or
  salty taste--but when mixed in a drink it may be
  difficult to detect.

MARIJUANA

• Most abused illegal drug
• Nick names pot, grass, weed, dope, hash, reefer,
  sinsimilla
• Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC produce the
  euphoria
• 90 of THC absorbed into lungs then travels to
  blood stream then to brain.

13

•                        
• Cannabis sativa, the hemp plant, grows wild
  throughout most of the tropic and temperate
  regions of the world. Prior to the advent of
  synthetic fibers, the cannabis plant was
  cultivated for the tough fiber of its stem.
  Cannabis contains chemicals that are unique to
  the cannabis plant---"cannabinoids." Among the
  cannabinoids synthesized by the plant are
  cannabinol, cannabidiol, cannabinolidic acids,
  cannabigerol, cannabichromene, and several
  isomers of tetrahydrocannabinol. One of these,
  delta-9-tetrhydrocannabinol (THC), is responsible
  for the psychoactive effects of cannabis. Three
  drugs derived from the cannabis plant (marijuana,
  hashish, and hashish oil) are currently
  distributed on the U.S. illicit market.      
• While most of the THC in cannabis plants is
  concentrated in the marijuana , all parts of the
  plant, including hemp, have been found to contain
  THC. The existence of THC in hemp is significant
  because THC, like marijuana, is a schedule I
  controlled substance.
• What is "hemp"?
• Hemp and marijuana are actually separate parts of
  the cannabis plant. The marijuana portions of the
  cannabis plant include the flowering tops (buds),
  the leaves, and the resin of the cannabis plant.
  The remainder of the plant stalks and
  sterilized seeds is what some people refer to
  as hemp. However, hemp is not a term that is
  found in federal law.

14

• DELTA-9TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL/THC
• Acts as a depressant, hallucinogen, and stimulant
• Marijuana is processed in the brain, liver,
  lungs, reproductive organs and kidneys.
• THC is fat soluble. It does not dissolve in
  water. Stored in fatty tissue. Acts like sponge.
• Alters hearing, touch, taste, smell, sense of
  time, space, and feelings of the body
• THC transported out of the body through the urine.

15

• Burns hotter than tobacco therefore more damage
  to lungs
• A urine test can detect marijuana up to 6 months
  after use.
• There are 400 chemicals found in marijuana in
  addition to THC.
• Due to body chemistry experiences may differ
  from individual to another.
• Reactions to marijuana may be uncontrollable
  laughter to euphoria. The vary depends on
  expectations, surroundings and the history of the
  user.

• Hash is the dark, brown resin from the top of the
  cannabis plant. Contains a higher concentration
  of THC.

16

30
METHAMPHETAMINES

• Crank
• Speed
• Ice
• Crystal meth
• Smoked, snorted,
• injected, swallowed
• 1 gallon of meth produces 2 gallons of toxic
  material

31
AMPHETAMINES

• Amphetamines and methamphetamines are
  collectively referred to as amphetamines. Their
  chemical properties and actions are so similar
  that even experienced users have difficulty
  knowing which drug they have taken
• During World War II, amphetamines were widely
  used to keep the fighting men going both
  dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine) and methamphetamine
  (Methedrine) became readily available. As use of
  amphetamines spread, so did their abuse.
  Amphetamines became a cure-all for helping
  truckers to complete their long routes without
  falling asleep, for weight control, for helping
  athletes to perform better and train longer, and
  for treating mild depression.
• Intravenous amphetamine abuse spread among a
  subculture known as "speed freaks." With
  experience, it became evident that the dangers of
  abuse of these drugs outweighed most of their
  therapeutic uses.

32
COCAINE/CRACK

• Harvested from a coca bush grown in South America
• White powder form
• 1906 cocaine syrup found in coca cola

33

• Cocaine is considered by some as the greatest
  drug threat to the US because it leads in
  drug-related violence, emergency department
  mentions of cocaine use, admissions to treatment
  facilities and arrests.

NARCOTICS/OPIATES

• Opiates a group of drugs derived form the opium
  poppy. That relieves pain and induces sleep.
  Also known as narcotics
• Narcotics habit-forming drugs that relieve pain
  and produce sleep when taken in moderate doses/
  also called opiates. Because most are derived
  from the opium poppy.
• Codeine a narcotic that commonly used for
  suppressing coughs.
• Opium a narcotic drug that relieves pain and
  induces sleep, made from the poppy
• Morphine narcotic, painkiller prescribed by
  doctors
• Heroin narcotic, made from morphine, illegal

44
HEROIN

• Heroin, an illegal opiate drug known on the
  street as smack, junk, brown sugar, dope, horse,
  skunk and other names is derived from the resin
  of the poppy plant which grows predominantly in
  southeast and southwest Asia, Mexico and now in
  Colombia. It is manufactured in remote
  laboratories using rudimentary equipment which
  presses the powder into bricks for bulk shipment
  to destination countries like the United States.
  Smaller amounts are smuggled by couriers who
  swallow heroin-filled latex balloons before
  boarding commercial airlines. 
• Pure heroin is a white powder with a bitter
  taste. Most illicit heroin is a powder form which
  may vary in color from white to dark brown
  because of impurities left from the manufacturing
  process or the presence of additives. Pure heroin
  is rarely sold on the street. A "bag" --slang for
  a single dosage unit of heroin--may contain 100
  mg of powder, only a small portion of which is
  heroin. The remainder could be sugars, starch,
  powdered milk, or quinine. Traditionally the
  purity of heroin in a "bag" has ranged from one
  to ten percent. More recently, heroin purity has
  ranged from one to ninety-eight percent, with a
  national average of thirty-five percent.

HEROIN ADDICTION
47
METHADONE

• German scientists synthesized methadone during
  World War II because of a shortage of morphine.
  Although chemically unlike morphine or heroin,
  methadone produces many of the same effects.
• Introduced into the United States in 1947 as an
  analgesic (Dolophinel), it is primarily used
  today for the treatment of narcotic addiction.
  HEROIN
• It is available in oral solutions, tablets, and
  injectable Schedule II formulations, and is
  almost as effective when administered orally as
  it is by injection.
• Methadone's effects can last up to 24 hours.

48
OPIUM
                     

 
                                                                                                     

• There were no legal restrictions on the
  importation or use of opium until the early
  1900s. In the United States, the unrestricted
  availability of opium, the influx of
  opium-smoking immigrants from East Asia, and the
  invention of the hypodermic needle contributed to
  the more severe variety of compulsive drug abuse
  seen at the turn of the 20th century. In those
  days, medicines often contained opium without any
  warning label. Today, there are state, federal,
  and international laws governing the production
  and distribution of narcotic substances.

49
CODEINE/MORPHINE

• Codeine is medically prescribed for the relief of
  moderate pain and cough suppression. Compared to
  morphine, codeine produces less analgesia,
  sedation, and respiratory depression, and is
  usually taken orally.
• It is made into tablets either alone (Schedule
  II) or in combination with aspirin or
  acetaminophen (i.e., Tylenol with Codeine,
  Schedule III). As a cough suppressant, codeine is
  found in a number of liquid preparations

50
MORPHINE
                                

• Morphine is one of the most effective drugs known
  for the relief of severe pain and remains the
  standard against which new analgesics are
  measured.
• Like most narcotics, the use of morphine has
  increased significantly in recent years. Since
  1990, there has been about a 3-fold increase in
  morphine products in the United States.

51
OXYCONTIN/OXYCODONE
Abuse of the prescription pain reliever
OxyContin are serious problems in certain areas
of the United States, particularly in the East.
In 1996, OxyContin was introduced as a longer
lasting dosage of oxycodone, which is prescribed
for the treatment of moderate to severe pain.
Since 1996, Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN)
data indicate an increasing number of deaths
associated with oxycodone. The growing abuse of
OxyContin, commonly known as Oxys, OCs,
Killers, Poor Mans Heroin, and Hillbilly Heroin,
is leading to an increase in burglaries, thefts,
and robberies of residences and pharmacies.

HALLUCINOGENS

• LSD lysergic acid diethylamide
• a powerful hallucinogenic
• PCP phencyclidine hydrochloride
• animal tranquilizer, abused by human beings
  as a hallucinogen.
• Peyote a cactus that produces the hallucinogen
  mescaline
• Psilocybin hallucinogen produced by mushrooms

53
LSD
D-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is the most
potent hallucinogenic substance known to man.
Dosages of LSD are measured in micrograms, or
millionths of a gram. By comparison, dosages of
cocaine and heroin are measured in milligrams, or
thousandths of a gram. Compared to other
hallucinogenic substances, LSD is 100 times more
potent than psilocybin and psilocin and 4,000
times more potent than mescaline.  LSD is
classified as a Schedule I drug in the Controlled
Substances Act of 1970. As a Schedule I drug, LSD
meets the following three criteria it is deemed
to have a high potential for abuse it has no
legitimate medical use in treatment and, there
is a lack of accepted safety for its use under
medical supervision.

EFFECTS OF LSD
The effects of LSD are unpredictable. They depend
on the amount taken, the user's personality, mood
and expectations, and the surroundings in which
the drug is used. Usually, the user feels the
first effects of the drug 30-90 minutes after
taking it. These effects include dilated pupils,
higher body temperature, increased heart rate and
blood pressure, sweating, loss of appetite,
sleeplessness, dry mouth, and tremors. Sensations
and feelings change much more dramatically than
the physical signs. The user may feel several
different emotions at once or swing rapidly from
one emotion to another.
56
Phencyclidine, more commonly known as PCP, is
illicitly marketed under a number of other names
including Angel Dust, Super grass, killer Weed,
Embalming Fluid, and Rocket Fuel, reflecting the
range of its bizarre and volatile effects. In
its pure form, it is a white crystalline powder
that readily dissolves in water. However, most
PCP on the illicit market contains a number of
contaminates as a result of makeshift
manufacturing causing the color to range from tan
to brown and the consistency from powder to a
gummy mass. Although sold in tablets and capsules
as well as line powder and liquid form, it is
commonly applied to a leafy material, such as
parsley, mint, oregano or marijuana, and smoked.

SHROOMS/MESCALINE

• Psilocybin (O-phosphoryl-4-hydroxy-N,
  N-ethyltryptamine) and psilocyn (4-hydroxy-N,
  N-dimethyltryptamine) are obtained from certain
  mushrooms indigenous to tropical and subtropical
  regions of South America, Mexico, and the United
  States.
• As pure chemicals at doses of 10 to 20 mg, these
  hallucinogens produce muscle relaxation, dilation
  of pupils, vivid visual and auditory distortions,
  and emotional disturbances.
• Fatal poisoning may occur due to mistaken
  identity of a mushroom many varieties of
  mushrooms are poisonous.
• 80 of all mushrooms are poisonous!

INHALANTS

• Inhalants are common household and workplace
  substances that are sniffed or huffed to give the
  user an immediate head rush or high.
• Inhalants are "sniffed" from an open container or
  "huffed" from a rag soaked in the substance and
  held to the face.
• They include a diverse group of chemicals that
  are found in consumer products such as aerosols,
  plastic cement, nail polish remover, lighter
  fluid, hair spray, insecticides, and cleaning
  solvents.

• Sudden sniffing death syndrome sudden death,
  usually from heart failure, in a person who is
  startled while sniffing inhalants.
• The fright often occurs upon discovery of the
  sniffer by an authority figure or when the drug
  produces a frightening hallucination

• Designer drugs laboratory-made drugs that
  closely resemble illegal drugs in chemical,
  structure, but that are different enough to be

MDMA/ECSTASY
MDMA is marketed as a feel good drug. Devotees
say it produces profoundly positive feelings,
empathy for others, elimination of anxiety, and
extreme relaxation--hence the nickname "hug
drug," or "love drug." MDMA is also said to
suppress the need to eat, drink, or sleep,
enabling club scene users to endure all-night and
sometimes two, or three-day parties.       MDMA
is taken orally, usually in tablet or capsule
form. MDMA tablets are often "stamped" with icons
or logos intended to appeal to a young audience.
Its effects last approximately four to six hours.

MDMA, CSA Schedule I, abuse in the United States
and the trafficking of MDMA to the United States
are on the rise, posing serious social concerns.
Once confined to major metropolitan areas on the
East and West Coasts, MDMA trafficking has now
expanded to smaller communities throughout the
country. MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphet
amine), also referred to as Ecstasy, XTC, Adam,
and Essence, is a illegally manufactured
variation of mescaline and amphetamine. It is
considered a designer drug---a substance on the
drug market that is a chemical analogue or
variation of another psychoactive drug

STEROIDS

•  The CSA defines anabolic steroids as any drug or
  hormonal substance chemically and
  pharmacologically related to testosterone (other
  than estrogen, progestins, and corticosteroids),
  that promotes muscle growth.
• Most illicit anabolic steroids are sold at gyms,
  competitions and through mail order operations.
  For the most part, these substances are smuggled
  into the United States.
• Those commonly encountered on the illicit market
  include boldenone (Equipose), ethylestrenol
  (Maxibolin), fluoxymesterone (Halotestin),
  methandriol, methandrostenolone (Dianabol),
  Depo-Testosterone Android - 25 (mehyltestosterone)
  
• In addition, a number of bogus or counterfeit
  products are sold as anabolic steroids. 

74
When used in combination with exercise training
and high protein diet, anabolic steroids can
promote increased size and strength of muscles,
improve endurance and decrease recovery time
between workouts. They are taken orally or by
intramuscular injection. Users concerned about
drug tolerance often take steroids on a schedule
called a cycle. A cycle is a period of between
six and 14 weeks of steroid use followed by a
period of abstinence. Additionally, users tend
to "stack" the drugs, using multiple drugs
concurrently. Another mode of steroid use is
"pyramiding." Users slowly escalate steroid use
(increasing the number of drugs used at one time
and/or the dose and frequency of one or more
steroids) reaching a peak amount at mid-cycle and
gradually tapering the dose toward the end of the
cycle.
