Drug Abuse
• Two types of dependence• Psychological- the conditioned use of a
drug caused by underlying emotional needs.
• Physical- physiological need for a drug that has been brought on by regular use. Withdrawal sickness when drug is stopped

Classifications of Drugs
• Narcotics• Depressants• Stimulants• Hallucinogens• Anabolic steroids
![Page 5: Drug Use](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051623/56815c2a550346895dca024b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Narcotics
• Analgesics- relieve pain by exerting a depressing action on the central nervous system.
• The source of most is from opium• Will most likely cause physical
dependence• Morphine, heroin, methadone, codeine,
oxycontin

Depressants
• Relax the CNS, create a sense of well being, produce sleep and stupor.
• Alcohol (ethyl alcohol)• Barbituates-downers, quaaludes• Tranquilizers- relaxing effect without sleep.
Valium and librium• Glue sniffing or huffing

Stimulants
*amphetamines-group of drugs that stimulate the CNS, provide feeling of increased alertness followed by decreased fatigue and loss of appetite.
Methamphetamines, ice, uppers, speed

Stimulants cont.
• Cocaine- powerful stimulant to CNS. Increased alertness, vigor, suppression of hunger, fatigue and boredom. Provides a sense of euphoria by stimulating pleasure center in the brain that controls emotions
• Crack- smoked• Coke-powder that is snorted

Hallucinogens
• Can cause marked alterations in normal thought processed, perceptions and moods.
• Marijuana-most widely used illicit drug . Most potent form is liquid hashish made by soaking in solvent, looks like tar.
• LSD, PCP, MDMA are other hallucinogens
![Page 11: Drug Use](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051623/56815c2a550346895dca024b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Anabolic steroids
• Synthetic compounds that are chemically related to testosterone. Produce muscle mass and male characteristics.
• Causes liver cancer, infertility, diminished sex drive, halting bone growth, unprovoked anger, and unpredictable moods.

Opium
![Page 15: Drug Use](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051623/56815c2a550346895dca024b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Controlled Substance Act
• Classification system for dangerous substances based on the drug’s potential for abuse, physical and psychological dependence, and medical value.
• Five schedules I is the most dangerous.
![Page 16: Drug Use](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051623/56815c2a550346895dca024b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Control act schedules
• I – high potential for abuse, no medical value. Heroin, marijuana, LSD
• II- high potential for abuse, medical use limited. Cocaine, PCP, other opiums
• III- small potential for abuse, medical uses. Codeine, barbituates
• IV-low potential for abuse, valium• V- very low potential for abuse, most non-
narcotics.

Federal Penalties• Schedule I• 15 years/$125,000• Schedule II
15 years/$125,000• Schedule III
5 years/$50,000• Schedule IV

Drug Identification
• Presented with many different pills, powders, tablets, capsules, vegetable matter, liquids, pipes, cigarettes and syringes.
• Chemist must make 100% ID no room for error.
![Page 20: Drug Use](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051623/56815c2a550346895dca024b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ID cont.
• Screening tests are done first to reduce the number of possibilities.
• Color tests– Marquis- purple for heroin, morphine, opiums
orange-brown for amphetamines, meth– Dillie-Koppanyi- violet blue for barbituates– Duquenois-Loevine- purple for marijuana– VanUrk- blue purple for LSD– Scott test- blue for cocaine
![Page 21: Drug Use](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051623/56815c2a550346895dca024b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Screening test cont.
• Microcrystalline tests- when a drop of chemical reagent is added to a drop of drug on microscope slide, the a crystalline precipitate will form. These crystals are specific for each drug. Most of the common drugs of abuse are cataloged for comparison.
![Page 22: Drug Use](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051623/56815c2a550346895dca024b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Chromatography
• Used to separate drugs from the diluents to help in the identification process.
• Based on the fact that chemical substances will escape into the surrounding environment when dissolved in a liquid or absorbed on to a solid.
• Measured in retention time Rt
![Page 23: Drug Use](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051623/56815c2a550346895dca024b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Chromatography cont.
• Gas chromatography- separates mixtures based on distribution between stationary liquid phase and moving gas phase.
• High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) stationary phase is a thin film moving phase is gas. Room temp good for LSD
• Thin layer chromatography (TLC)- stationary phase is gel, moving is liquid. Used for tentative ID by running known next to unknown.

Spectrophotometry
• Based on the absorption of light in the UV and IR regions of the light spectrum.
• The UV spectrum only gives a probable ID.
• The IR spectrophotometry is one of the few ways to specifically ID a substance. Can produce a “fingerprint” of a drug but only in the purest form.
![Page 28: Drug Use](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051623/56815c2a550346895dca024b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Mass Spectrometry
• Under carefully controlled conditions, no two substances produce the same fragmentation patterns.
• Often paired with a gas chromatograph (GC) to purify before running and getting optimal results.
• Test is called GC/MS • Can run very small amounts

Sequence of testing
• Screening– Color test– Microcrystalline test– Chromatography• Use GC paired with Mass spectrometry for
positive ID • Use IR spectrophotometry for positive ID

Collection and Preservation
Usually best to keep in the original packaging.
If volatile substance, put in air tight container.
Mark all packages with enough information so the officer can ID it during trial.
Investigator needs to supply any info that could lead to positive ID
