Effects of Opiates in the bodyInhibits cells in the brain stem thatare responsible for respiration -

slows down, and in some casescompletely stops breathing!

Stimulates cells of the vomitingcenter in the brain stem, causing

nausea and vomiting.Inhibits intestinal peristalsis, causingconstipation.

Binds to cells of the hypothalamus,therefore affecting hormone release

throughout the body. Lowerstestosterone levels.

The use of needles for IV druginjection provides an entryway formany kinds of infections.

Heroin or diacetylmorphine (INN) is a semi-synthetic opioid. It is the 3,6-diacetyl derivative of

morphine (hence diacetylmorphine ) and issynthesized from it by acetylation. The whitecrystalline form is commonly the hydrochloridesalt, diacetylmorphine hydrochloride

•Spontaneous abortion

•Addiction•Infectious diseases, for example,HIV/AIDS and hepatitis B and C•Collapsed veins•Bacterial infections•Abscesses

•Infection of heart lining and valves•Arthritis and other rheumatologicproblems



Prescription Drugs

SedativesUsed to calm the nerves, reducetension and induce sleep.

Sedatives were usually used in date

rape cases. Examples are alcohols,barbiturates, tranquilizers.

Ethyl alcohol is not included in RA

9165.



Barbiturates

First synthesize (1863) byAdolf von Baeyer (GermanChemist).

The word "barbiturate" is acombination of "Barbara" with"urea": von Baeyerdiscovered it on SaintBarbara’s Day, and urea

was used in the synthesisof the new molecule.

Barbara + Urea

Common name stem from the color of the capsuleor tablet (e.g. “yellow jackets”, “blue devils”,

rainbow, Amy’s and “reds”.

The agent thatcause Marilyn

Monroe's death



Tranquilizers(Benzodiazepam)

Major and minor tranquilizers

Examples are rohypnol, valium etc

Combining with alcohol (in substantialamount) can lead to coma or evendeath.

Tolerance can cause physical

dependence, with typical withdrawalsymptoms ranging from nightmares toconvulsions when the drug intake is

stopped.

Depressants has been associatedwith an increased incidence ofinfection with bacterial meningitis.The pus that accumulates on the

tissues surrounding the brain isvisible in this picture.

Depressants can provide anentryway into the body formicroorganisms that attack anddestroy heart valve tissue. The toppicture shows a normal aortic valve;the bottom picture shows one thathas been “chewed away” by

infective endocarditis.



Depressants provides an entryway into the body for the viruses thatcause different types of hepatitis.This picture shows the damage toliver tissue that hepatitis can cause.

Over time, hepatitisinfection can lead tocirrhosis of the liver. Thisoccurs more commonlywith hepatitis B, but cansometimes occur with

hepatitis C.

Effect in the body

As a stimulant, this

substances mimic thehormones (symp, parasympetc) responsible for therelease of energy in the body.

Used to increase mental

activity, relieve fatigue andoffset drowsiness.

Meth changes the heart muscle

fibers (normal fibers are on theleft, damaged fibers on the right).The fibers on the right have lostmany of their cross-striations,which can lead to decreasedcardiac contractility.



Effects of Stimulants

Pregnant woman can cause mental retardation totheir unborn babies

Extended wakefulness and increased mentalalertness

Loss of memory Irritability, anxiety and fear

Loss of sexual desire, lacks interest towards work

Chronic snorters suffer from irritation of the nose tofrequent nose bleeding

a "speedball.“

snorted, smoked, or injected

Oral (chewing)

Snorted, (nasal tissues to bloodstream)

Injected, (bloodstream).

Smoking (inhaling vapor or smoke into the lungswhere absorption into the bloodstream is asrapid as by injection).



Effects of Cocaine

Cocaine use causes peripheralblood vessels to constrict, whileheart rate and blood pressurerise. This can cause heartfailure, and can also cause bloodvessels in the brain to explode,

leading to brain damage and/ordeath.

Extends the activity of

dopamine by blocking itsreabsorption. Dopamine is aneurotransmitter that transmits

“pleasure signals” in the brain.



Added Danger: Cocaethylene

When people mix cocaine andalcohol consumption, they arecompounding the danger fromeach drug.

This is because the human livercombines cocaine and alcoholand manufactures a thirdsubstance, cocaethylene, whichintensifies cocaine's effects,including increasing the risk ofsudden death.



Hallucinogens are drugs that can producechanges in mood and behavior and can produce

delusions and hallucinations.

A user may speak of “hearing” colors, and

“seeing” sounds.

HALLUCINOGENS



Marijuana, Cannabis or Indian Hemp:Embraces every kind, class, genus or specie of the plant Cannabis

Sativa L including Cannabis Americana, hashish, bhang, guaza,churrus and ganjab

Cannabis Sativa is an annual plant growthwild in many temperate parts of the world.It consist of crushed cannabis leaves and

its flowers



Cannabis plants are either male or female.

The male plants produce pollen which pollenates theflowers of the female plant, which once pollenized,

produce seeds.

If the female plant isn't pollenized (if there are no maleplants nearby producing pollen), the flower/buds

continue to develop and produce THC.

Female plants which are not pollenized are referred to

as sensemilla (without seeds).Usually 40-50% of the plants are male.

Cannabis plant



1. Panama red

Forms of Marijuana

2. Sinsemilla – flowering top of seedless plant

a. many growers believed that unfertilized female flowers,

when left to grow to maximum maturity, would produce moreTHC than a similar seed-bearing bud.b. unseeded buds would produce more smokeable materialthan seeded flowers.



1. Cigarette rolling paper (Zig zag) - A brand ofrolling papers famous for the silhouette of a beardedsmoker on the label.

Marijuana Paraphernalia

2. Water pipe -



cannabis smoke is passed through water before inhaling. This has the effectof cooling the smoke and to some extent filtering the smoke by removing the

heavy tar elements.

This produces a less harsh and safer smoke, especially if you smoke purecannabis without any horrible tobacco contaminating the high.

Smoking in this way gets you stoned much quicker than joints andinexperienced smokers might find they get too high too quickly, particularly if

they aren't many people sharing the hits.

Marijuana vaporizers work by heating the cannabis to a temperature where activeingredients evaporate into a thin mist. Specifically, the cannabis heats to atemperature of 356 - 392 degrees Fahrenheit, below the point of combustionwhere smoke is produced. Without combustion, the amount of carcinogens, ortoxins, decreases. Depending on the design of the vaporizer, the vapor is thencaptured in a glass and inhaled via a tube. It's important to know that reliable data

to support this technique as less risky to health is limited.

Effects of Marijuana on theBrain

THC damages and destroys nerve cells ofthe hippocampus, a part of the brain thatis crucial for learning, memory, and theintegration of sensory experiences with

emotions and motivation. Marijuanaabuse is thus associated with attentionand memory problems.

It has been shown to cause changes inthe brain that “prime” the user to becomemore easily addicted to other drugs.

Effects of Marijuana on theLungs

The daily use of one to three marijuana joints produces approximately the samelung damage and potential cancer risk as

smoking five times as many cigarettes!Thus MJ users are prone to cancers astobacco users.

Users are also more likely to get bronchitisand chest colds.



Social Costs

Students who smoke marijuana get lower gradesin school and are less likely to graduate, thatstudents who do not smoke marijuana.

Employees who smoke marijuana have moreaccidents, increases tardiness rates, reducedattentiveness and, a general loss inproductivity.

Research has shown that marijuana negatively

affects driving ability because of altered sense

of time and space as well as slowed reaction

time.In 2000 46.5% of arrests for drug abuse

violations were for marijuana.

646,042 people were arrested for possession of marijuana.



Compared to Cocaine, Heroin,Methamphetamines, and other drugs.Marijuana accounts for an estimated 3.9%

of crime.Marijuana accounts for an estimated $10.7

billion (16.3%) in drug related spending

each year.



Conclusion

Marijuana is an intensely popular drug, it is

estimated that one third of the population uses

marijuana.

Marijuana is a controversial drug whose truesocial cost has not really been measured.

Marijuana is also a drug with exceptional

medical possibilities, if it can over come itsbad reputation.
