Extremely high energy
Grind teeth down to nerve
Methamphetamine Don’t sleep or eat and burst of
"energy" lasts a few hours, then slams the user into an exhausted, weak, crash.
Unpredictable, acting friendly and then violence.
Pick at imaginary bugs on their skin until it bleeds.

Dissociative Anesthetics PCP
Dissociates person from pain and reality Brain receptors don’t feel pain: Used on burn
victims Very dangerous Some time only lethal force will stop the person http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLZq5GGPxws&feature=related
Dextromethorphan (cough syrup) Loss of memory Lasts the entire school day Blank stare and eyes look like they saw a ghost
Narcotic Analgesics Heroin Methadone Morphine Codeine Opium
Narcotic Analgesics Heroin
Track Marks Shooting up in muscles. Eats at the muscle,
holes, shares needles then fills with pus, can see to the bone
Under the finger nails Methadone
Less addictive than heroin. Methadone State Program: People can be on
this free program for 3 years. Made to get them off of it, but it’s abused.
Narcotic Analgesics Effects Euphoria
Drowsiness Respiratory depression Nausea
Overdose Slow and shallow breathing Convulsion Coma Death
Opiates and the Brain
Inhalants Displacing amount of oxygen in the
blood. People will die if too much is in the
lungs. Cooking spray acts differently and
coats the lungs. Short lived
Once they start breathing normal air it clears it out.
HUGE headaches!
Cannabis Marijuana Spice
Hashish: I like marijuana. It consists of the THC-rich resinous material of the cannabis plant, which is collected, dried, and then compressed. The Middle East, North Africa, and Pakistan/Afghanistan are the main sources of hashish.
Sinsemilla: Marijuana from seedless female hemp plants that contain very high levels of THC.
Marijuana Smoking is fastest to the
brain. Marijuana impairs attention
span. “smoke themselves stupid” lasts 8 hours
THC is 10x more potent than the 1980’s. Genetically engineered
Marijuana Effects Difficulty concentrating Euphoria Short-term memory loss Loss of depth perception Lack of motivation Lowered productivity
Marijuana and the Brain
Spice Synthetic marijuana Made in labs and stores sell it Chemicals are sprinkled on top of
plants, like herbs 100% more potent than marijuana One step ahead of legislative to
make it illegal Not fit for human consumption http://
