    Course Code: CDI7 Name of Faculty: Jannoel B. Palo
    Course Title: Vice and Drug Education and Control

    1. Quiz 1 2. Activity Exercise

    A. Essay

    1. Define and explain the concept of Toxicology and its importance.


     It is a field a science that helps us understand the harmful effects that chemicals, substances, or
    situations, can have on people, animals, and the environment. Toxicology uses the power of science
    to predict what, and how chemicals may cause harm and then shares that information to protect
    public health.

    2. Differentiate Drug Abuse, Drug Dependence and Drug Addiction

    Drug abuse is the term for drug use that is inconsistent with society or medical norms, such as using
    drugs excessively or for non-medical purposes. Drug dependence is a condition in which a person has
    grown physically or mentally dependent on a substance and needs it to operate normally. As a result,
    when the medicine is not taken, withdrawal symptoms may develop. Drug addiction is a persistent,
    recurrent illness marked by obsessive drug seeking and usage, even when doing so has negative effects.
    This is a more serious type of substance dependence that can have a serious negative impact on a
    person's relationships, daily life, and health.

    B. Research

    1. Give at least 2 illegal drugs existing in the Philippines. Provide description and its effects.

     Methamphetamine (also known as shabu or "ice"): Methamphetamine is a highly addictive


    stimulant drug that is illegal in the Philippines. It is typically consumed in a crystal or rock form that
    is smoked, injected or swallowed. The effects of methamphetamine can include increased alertness,
    euphoria, increased energy, and heightened sexual drive. However, long-term use can lead to
    negative consequences such as paranoia, psychosis, physical and mental exhaustion, and even
    death.
     Heroin: Heroin is an opioid drug that is illegal in the Philippines. It is typically injected, smoked, or
    snorted and produces a pleasurable feeling of euphoria. However, long-term use of heroin can lead
    to dependence, withdrawal symptoms, and serious health problems such as respiratory depression,
    heart disease, liver disease, and even death. Additionally, using heroin is associated with high-risk
    behaviors such as sharing needles, which increases the risk of spreading diseases such as HIV and
    Hepatitis C.
