Research Chemicals

Slide6

Research ChemicalsThe U.S. currently has no legislation which explicitly identifies individual research chemicals as scheduledHowever the term ‘Research Chemical’ was specifically applied in an attempt to avoid prosecution under the Federal Analog Act…

Slide7

Research ChemicalsSince a majority of research chemicals bear some functional and structural similarity to a scheduled chemical, they could theoretically be considered to be scheduled provided that intent for human consumption can be demonstrated. Precedent has already been set that vendors of research chemicals may be contravening this law

Synthetic DrugsThe past 2 years have been characterized by increasing diversity of products, as manufacturers of new psychoactive substances adapt products almost endlessly"The variety, the changing physical forms & the constant modifications in labeling make it difficult for law enforcement … to identify new psychoactive substances."

Alexander Vogel, 18, of Toledo www.toledoblade.com

Slide14

25-I (Toledo, OH)“Galat & Littleton had reason to be there. They were staying there, they had IDs, and had checked in, and had a dispute,” said Larry Burns, VP for external affairsThe two men, who elected to stay on campus during winter break, had been roommates at the residence hall since SaturdayLittleton signed in Vogel in the AM

Slide15

25-I (Toledo, OH)At 9:02 p.m., a 911 call was made by a person who had no part in the incident and reported a “person down,” reports indicatePolice arrived at the hall at 9:06 p.m., and found Littleton four minutes later in a “bloody state” outside the building, Chief Newton said

Slide16

25-I (Toledo, OH)Fight broke out in a second-floor stairwell Galat was stabbed on the left & right sides of his neck, died outside dormGalat had defense wounds on his bodyGalat’s roommate, Littleton, suffered several stab wounds, unable to speak  The only knife used in the stabbing listed as a “hunting knife” 

Slide17

25-I (Toledo, OH)Vogel was found naked and agitated in the hallway. He was taken to a hospital, then arrested on a disorderly conduct chargeSummons said he was "screaming and yelling things" about being in pain and causing himself physical harmHe was not responsive to officers' questions about what was wrong or whether he could put clothes on

Slide18

25-I (Toledo, OH)toxicology report showed Galat had 25i, similar to LSD, in his systemUnknown if Vogel or Littleton were under the influence of 25i during the incidentno other reports of 25i use on campus, & appears to be fairly newNot yet regulated, 25i linked in other states to a handful of overdose deaths

Littleton has not been charged

Slide19

25-I (Houston, TX)It started with hallucinations and quickly turned violent. Kevin Schoolmeyer was driving home from a party in June when the 21-year-old started to hit his friend sitting in the passenger seat.Suddenly, his limbs began to flail around, he punched the console and started ripping accessories from the vehicle's interior, shortly after that, he died.

Slide20

25-I (Houston, TX)Schoolmeyer's was the first case. The following month a 15-year-old Houston girl also returning home from a party with a friend said she felt sick before her arms and legs began thrashing around. About 30 minutes later, she was dead.

Slide21

25-I (Houston, TX)Authorities believe what killed these two young people is the newest designer drug hitting Houston's streets: 25i.The blandly named drug is a synthetic chemical substance that acts as psychedelic hallucinogenic, similar to LSD and ecstasy

Rx Problem

Slide47

Rx ProblemEasier to obtainCheaper“Think” less risk for O.D.In 2010, nearly 60 percent of the drug overdose deaths (22,134) involved pharmaceutical drugs. Opioid analgesics (oxycodone, hydrocodone, and methadone), were involved in about 3 of every 4 pharmaceutical OD’s, confirming the predominant role opioid analgesics play in drug overdose deaths. (CDC.gov)

Slide48

Rx AbuseIn 2012, the Monitoring the Future study reported that 14.8% of high school seniors used a Rx not prescribed for them or for nonmedical reasons in the past year. after marijuana, Rx and over-the-counter medications account for most of the top drugs abused by 12th graders in the past year (Adderall and Vicodin most popular)

Ive never done heroin but the liquid smells like vinegar. is that a good or bad sign?”A: “if it has a reddish dark brown color it is black tar diluted tincture you can pour it in a pan to dry if you want to smoke even. Black tar taste like a vinegary BBQ sauce but very bitter but addicts love that taste”

Slide74

Heroin (Nasal Spray)“get a syringe, remove the needle from it, and use that to spray it up into your nasal cavity slowly. The goal is to let it absorb in your nasal cavity, not in your stomach after it drips down. This method of dosing has been termed "Shebanging" by local addicts.” www.drugs-forum.com

Caffeine Drinks

Slide84

Caffeine DrinksResearchers have discovered a link between abuse of highly caffeinated energy drinks & drug abuse that has some calling energy drinks a “gateway drug.”The popularity of caffeine-laced energy drinks has led to growing caffeine abuse among young people

www.transitionsrecovery.com/blog/drug-info/researchers-calling-energy-drinks-a-gateway-drug

Slide85

Caffeine DrinksResearchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore have found that young people who abuse energy drinks are more likely to abuse prescription drugsIn a report just published in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence, they also expressed concern about the dangerous effects of mixing energy drinks with alcohol, a popular campus combination.

Slide86

Caffeine DrinksPoison-control centers report an increase in calls concerning teen caffeine abuse over the past few years20,000+ Emergency Room visits annually A 2007 study by Wake Forest University found that college students who drank energy drinks mixed with alcohol were twice as likely to be

Slide87

Caffeine PowderThe white, soft, powdery substance is unregulated by the FDA and can be sprinkled on food or mixed into a liquid. Single teaspoon = approx. 25 cups of coffee.Teens = no more than 100 mg daily

(100 grams of “pure powder” for under $12)Increased heart rate/Uneven heart rhythmHeadaches / Dizziness / Nausea / Dehydration / Anxiety/ depression / Difficulty sleeping / Tremors and seizures

Slide88

Caffeine PowderLAGRANGE, Ohio (CBS Cleveland) – A senior at Keystone High School was found dead after he ingested toxic amounts of caffeine powder.Stiner’s (18) death was a result of having toxic levels of caffeine in his blood after ingesting the powder.  The overdose caused cardiac arrhythmia and a seizure.

About 1/16 of a teaspoon of the powder is equal to one can of any high-powered caffeine drink.cleveland.cbslocal.com/2014/06/30/high-school-senior-dies-after-ingesting-toxic-amount-of-caffeine-powder/

Gummy BearsGummy bears soaked in alcohol

Slide94

Gummy Bears“These things are strong. And the texture had dramatically changed. It no longer had the gummi chewiness—it was more like a very firm Jell-O, and you could almost slurp them. Yes, small, bear-shaped Jell-O shots. They weren't quite "done" after three days, though.” 

Slide95

Gummy Bears“the sugar in the gummis adds to the effect. It may also be because you're holding the booze in your mouth longer as you chew and explore the texture…They were bigger, jigglier, and a bit smoother going down…these don't taste like gummi bears that happen to have booze in them. No, they taste like vodka with gummi bear flavoring”. gizmodo.com/tag/happy-hour

Slide101

Smoking Alcoholno effective way to measure how much alcohol you are consuming…drinker can’t discern if they are inhaling the entire cup or a few sips, as residual alcohol remains in the bottle, often obscured by lingering vapors

Slide102

Smoking Alcoholaddictive potential of vaporizing alcohol. The rapid & intense effect of vaporizing alcohol–similar to the “quick hit” of cocaine, cigarettes, & meth has tremendous potential to reinforce the addictive effects…greater abuse potential

Slide103

Smoking AlcoholNew products to vaporize the alcohol, such as the “Vaportini” have emerged on the scene in the past 5 years. The product, created in 2009, is sold legally in the US. The manufacturer explains that the Vaportini involves “no calories, no carbs, no impurities and the effects of consuming alcohol are immediately felt, making it easier to responsibly imbibe.”

Smoking PillsOxy addicts smoke the pills by heating them on a piece of tin foil. The burning pills leave long, black streaks down the foil. “They always keep the foil, always.

are still addicting due to the nicotine component

Slide111

E-Cigs in SchoolElectronic Cigarettes:make sure school policy specifically states "a ban on the use of e-cigarettes or products which contain nicotine“E-cigarettes contain liquid nicotine which is vaporized. Some may contain 18mg. of nicotine per 1 ml bottle of e-juice. As a comparison, a traditional tobacco cigarette contains approximately 12mg of nicotine.

A lethal dose of nicotine to a small child can be as little as 10mg where for an adult will normally be between 30 and 60mg.
