Transcription de la présentation

  1. Illegal Drugs • Street Drugs • Against the law for people of any age to manufacture, possess, buy or sell. • Potential for harm is extremely high.

  2. Synthetic Drugs • Chemical substances produced in a laboratory.

  3. Illicit Drug • The use or sale of any substances that are illegal or not permitted. “Despite long-standing attempts to dismantle the illicit drug trade, drug abuse and its many related problems are on the increase in many regions of the world. The scale of the problem is enormous: the amount of laundered money from the traffic in cocaine, heroin and cannabis is estimated to be larger than the gross national product of three quarters of the world's economies. The impact of illicit drugs continues to threaten the economies and social structures of both producing and consuming countries.” UNITED NATIONS RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

  4. Gateway Drugs • Drugs that lead to more serious drug use.

  5. Psychoactive Drugs • Four Main groups • Stimulants • Depressants • Narcotics • Hallucinogens

  6. STIMULANTS • Speed up the Central Nervous System • Amphetamines • Euphoria • Paranoia

  7. DEPRESSENTS • Slow down CNS • Similar to being intoxicated

  8. NARCOTICS • Derived from the opium plant that have a sedative effect. • Opium plant • Pain Relievers “Narcotics are drugs that alleviate physical pain, suppress coughing, alleviate diarrhea, and induce anesthesia. Natural narcotics are derived from the Opium poppy and synthetic narcotics are made to act like the major constituents of Opium (thebaine, morphine, codeine). Legal, synthetic narcotics such as OxyContin (oxycodone) and Vicodin (hydrocodone) are prescribed as pain-relievers but are often diverted for illegitimate uses. Heroin is an illegal narcotic, derived from morphine.” -StreetDrugs.com

  10. HALLUCINOGENS • Alter moods, thoughts, and sense perceptions. • Vision • Hearing • Smell • Touch

  11. INHALENTS • Substance with breathable fumes that are sniffed and inhaled to give a hallucinogenic effect or high. • Inhalants affect your brain. Inhalants are substances or fumes from products such as glue or paint thinner that are sniffed or "huffed" to cause an immediate high. Because they affect your brain with much greater speed and force than many other substances, they can cause irreversible physical and mental damage before you know what's happened. • Inhalants affect your heart. Inhalants starve the body of oxygen and force the heart to beat irregularly and more rapidly--that can be dangerous for your body. • Inhalants damage other parts of your body. People who use inhalants can experience nausea and nosebleeds; develop liver, lung, and kidney problems; and lose their sense of hearing or smell. Chronic use can lead to muscle wasting and reduced muscle tone and strength. • Inhalants can cause sudden death. Inhalants can kill you instantly. Inhalant users can die by suffocation, choking on their vomit, or having a heart attack. http://ncadi.samhsa.gov/govpubs/PHD631/

  12. DESIGNER/LOOK ALIKE DRUGS • Synthetic drugs meant to imitate the effects of narcotics and hallucinogens.
