Stimulants Hallucinogens

Depressants
Stimulants
 Also known as “uppers”
 Drug that excite the central nervous
system, increasing alertness,
decreasing fatigue, delaying sleep, also
impale appetite and cause weight loss.
Example of Stimulants
 Methamphetamine (Shabu)
 Cocaine
 Amphetamine
Methamphetamine
(Shabu)
a. Shabu
 Street names- poor man’s cocaine, S, ice,
Shabs, Ubas, bato, Siopao, Chocobot
 Methamphetamine
Hyudrochloride/SHABU- a type of
amphetamine also known as “poor man’s
cocaine”. Other names are Shabu, Ubas,
Siopao, Sha and Ice.
 shabu is a white, odorless crystal or
crystalline powder with a bitter numbing
taste.
Contents of Shabu

Adverse negative effect of
methamphetamine
b. Cocaine
 An agent that produce a temporary increase of
the functional activity or efficiency of an
organism or any of its parts.
 Street name- coke, snow, flake, bow
 A drug from the leaves of the coca plant, a shrub
that originated in south America. This drug
affects the central nervous system as a
stimulant.
 The names comes from “coca” and the alkaloid
suffix-ine, forming cocaine. It is a stimulant, an
appetite suppressant, and a topical anesthetic.
Side effect of chronic use of cocaine
Depressants/Sedatives 
 Drugs that have mild-calming or sleep-
producing effect upon the central nervous
system. 
 also called as “downers” or “barbs” 
 any drug or chemical that decreases the
activity of any bodily function. The term is
most often used to refer to drugs that
reduce the activity of the central nervous
system Ex: Sedatives, Sleeping Pills,
Tranquilizers
Opiates/ Narcotic
 Group of drugs that are used medically
to relieved pain, but have a high
potential for abuse.
 In a medicine, the term opiate describes
any of the narcotic opioid alkaloids
found as a products in the opium poppy
plant, papaver somniferum.
 The most commonly abused opiates
 Heroin morphine codeine fentanyl
Examples of Depressant
Opium Opiates Heroin

Codeine
Morphine
Narcotic substance that lessens pain
and/or induce stupor
 A. opium
 Is the dried latex obtained from the opium poppy
(papaver somniferum), opium contains up to 12%
morephine, an alkaloid, which is frequently processed
chemically to produce heroin. The latex also includes
codeine.
 Opium poppey , papaver somniferum, is the species of
plant from which opium and poppy seeds are derived.
Opium is the source of many narcotics, including
morphine ( and its derivation heroin). The latin botanical
name means the “sleep-bringing poppy”. Referring to
the sedative properties of some of these opiates.
Bad effects of opiates
Morphine
 Is a potent opiate analgesic drug that is used to relieve
severe pain. It was first isolated in 1804 by Friedrich
Serturner, first distributed by him in 1817, and first
commercially sold by Merck in 1827.
 It took its name from the Greek god of dreams Morpheus

seed pod of certain varieties of poppy
plants
 It is typically sold as a white or brownish
powder or as the black sticky substance
known on the streets as "black tar
heroin”.
Short term and long term effects
of heroin
CODEINE: 
 Methylmorphine is an
 opiate used for its analgesic, antitussive
 and antidiarrheal properties. It is
marketedas the salt codeine sulfate and
codeinephosphate. It is also often used
asrecreational drugs. This is
primarilybecause of its easy availability
over thecounter or on prescription in
combinationproducts
a)Sedatives
  Sedative-hypnotics such as
tranquilizers, sleeping pills, and
sedatives are drugs, which depress or
slow down body functions. These drugs
can be dangerous when not taken
according to physician's instructions.
3) Hallucinogens 
 Drugs that are derived from plants
chemical substances which affects the
perception, sensation, behavior and
produces hallucination on the user
  Or any natural or synthetic psychoactive
drugs that produce marked distortion of the
senses and changes in perception • Also
called “psychedelics” 
 First developed as appetite suppressant
Ex: MJ, LSD, Ecstasy, Ketamine
Marijuana
LSD

Ecstasy Ketamine
a) Marijuana •
 Is the term used to describe all the plant
material like leaves, tops, stems, flowers
and roots from a cannabis plant
(Cannabis sativa), dried and prepared
for smoking or taken orally as
“brownies”.
 The mind altering component is the
tetrahydrocannabinol; THC for short,
which is concentrated in the resin.
LSD
 LSD is one of the most potent, mood-changing chemicals. It is
manufactured from lysergic acid, which is found in the ergot fungus that
grows on rye and other grains.
 It is produced in crystal form in illegal laboratories, mainly in the United
States. These crystals are converted to a liquid for distribution. It is
odorless, colorless, and has a slightly bitter taste.
 Known as “acid” and by many other names, LSD is sold on the street in
small tablets (“microdots”), capsules or gelatin squares (“window
panes”). It is sometimes added to absorbent paper, which is then
divided into small squares decorated with designs or cartoon characters
(“loony toons”). Occasionally it is sold in liquid form. But no matter what
form it comes in, LSD leads the user to the same place—a serious
disconnection from reality.
 LSD users call an LSD experience a “trip,” typically lasting twelve hours
or so. When things go wrong, which often happens, it is called a “bad
trip,” another name for a living hell
ECSTACY: 
 In 1912 MDMA or
Methylenedioxymetamphetamine was developed in
Germany as an appetite depressant by the
pharmaceutical company Merck. During the late 1970
psychiatrists and psychologist used the drugs as
treatment for emotional an psychological disorders.

from a pleasant feeling of floating to being
separated from their bodies. Some ketamine
experiences involve a terrifying feeling of
almost complete sensory detachment that is
likened to a near-death experience.
5) Inhalants
 Drugs whose volatile vapors are taken in
via the nose and trachea.
 • Includes solvents, bases and aerosol,
rugby, gasoline, hair spray, lighter fluid
and air freshener
Routes of Drug
Administration
 1) Oral Ingestion - Taken by the mouth and must pass
through the stomach before being absorbed in the
bloodstream.
 2) Inhalation - Drug in gaseous from enters the lungs
and is quickly absorbed by the capillary system.
 3) Injection - Administered into the body by the use of
a stringe or hypodhermic needle.
 4) Snorting - Inhalation through the nose of drugs in
gaseous form.
 5) Buccal - Drugs is administered by placing it in the
buccal cavity just under the lips.
FOUR STAGES IN USING DRUGS
 1. Experimentation
 User use substance just to try it.
2. Regular use

 Users develops habit of regularly using


substance
3. Tolerance

 User’s body needs more and more of


substance to achieve the same effects
4.Addiction or chemical
dependency
 Users relies on the substance to
function or feel “normal”
 Habit interferes with personal
responsibilities and relationships
HARMFUL EFFECTS OF DRUGS
Health Problems
 The impact of drug abuse and dependence
can be far- reaching, affecting almost every
organ in the human body. Drug use can:
 • Weaken the immune system, increasing
susceptibility to infections.
 • Cause cardiovascular conditions ranging
from abnormal heart rate to heart attacks.
Injected drugs can also lead to collapsed
veins and infections of the blood vessels
and heart valves.
Effects on the Brain
 Although initial drug use may be voluntary, drugs have
been shown to alter brain chemistry, which interferes
with an individual's ability to make decisions and can
lead to compulsive craving, seeking and use. This then
becomes a substance dependency.
 • All drugs of abuse - nicotine, cocaine, marijuana, and
others - effect the brain's "reward" circuit, which is part
of the limbic system.
 • Drugs hijack this "reward" system, causing unusually
large amounts of dopamine to flood the system.
 • This flood of dopamine is what causes the "high" or
euphoria associated with drug abuse.
 Behavioral Problems •
 Paranoia •
 Aggressiveness •
 Hallucinations •
 Addiction •
 Impulsiveness •
 Loss of Self-Control
Reasons why people turn to
drugs
 Parents who always quarrel in front of
the children. Irresponsible parents who
don’t have time for their children. Family
Problems
 Birth Defects •
 Nearly 4 percent of pregnant women in the
United States use illicit drugs such as
marijuana, cocaine, Ecstasy and other
amphetamines, and heroin. These and other
illicit drugs may pose various risks for
pregnant women and their babies. Some of
these drugs can cause a baby to be born too
small or too soon, or to have withdrawal
symptoms, birth defects or learning and
behavioral problems. Additionally, illicit drugs
may be prepared with impurities that may be
harmful to a pregnancy.
 BAD Influence by friends. Peer
Pressure/Curiosity
 Lack of self-confidence and inferiority
complex. Weak Personality, Desire to
Escape From Reality
Vice Control
 Alcoholism
 Prostitution
 Gambling
 Smoking
