5. Prescription/Over the Counter Abuse ContinuedOpioids Commonly used for pain relief - hydrocodone (Vicodin®), oxycodone (OxyContin®), morphine, fentanyl, and codeine. In the United States, more people now die from opioid painkiller overdoses than from heroin and cocaine combined.Stimulants: Methylphenidate (Ritalin®, Concerta®, Focalin®, and Metadate®) and amphetamines (Adderall®, Dexedrine®) Used for ADHDDepressants are usually prescribed to promote sleep or to reduce anxiety. Examples: sleep medications such as Ambien® and Lunesta®. Tranquilizers such as Valium® and Xanax®, but also include muscle relaxants and other anti-anxiety medications
6. Prescription/Over the Counter Abuse Continued“Syrup,” “Purple Drank,” “Sizzurp,” or “Lean” describes soda mixed with prescription-strength cough syrup containing codeine and promethazine—these cough syrups are available by prescription only. Users may also flavor the mixture with hard candies. Drinking this combination has become increasingly popular among some celebrities and youth in several areas of the country. Codeine is an opioid that can produce relaxation and euphoria when consumed in sufficient quantities. Promethazine is an antihistamine that also acts as a sedative.

9. Marijuana ContinuedResearch suggests that when regular marijuana use begins in the teen years, addiction is more likely: 1 in 6 users, compared to 1 in 9 among adults. Recent research suggests that heavy cannabis use that starts in the teen years is associated with declines in IQ scores in adulthood.
10. 4. K9 or SpiceIs a wide variety of herbal mixtures that produce experiences similar to marijuana. Of the illicit drugs most used by high school seniors, Spice is second only to marijuana. It is sometimes called “synthetic” marijuana, but this is a misperception.Causes rapid heart rate, vomiting, agitation, confusion, hallucinations, raised blood pressure and reduced blood supply to the heart, and, in a few cases, heart attacks.

12. 5. Methamphetamine (Meth)Powerful stimulants that can produce feelings of euphoria and alertness. Methamphetamine is a white, odorless, bitter-tasting crystalline powder that easily dissolves in water or alcohol and is taken orally, intra-nasally (snorting the powder), by needle injection, or by smoking. Methamphetamine’s effects are particularly long lasting and harmful to the brain. They an cause high body temperature and can lead to serious heart problems and seizures.

15. 6. Cocaine Comes from the coca plant grown in Central and South AmericaA short-acting stimulant, which can lead users to “binge”—take the drug many times in a single session. Cocaine use can lead to severe medical consequences related to the heart and the respiratory, nervous, and digestive systems. Cocaine users can also experience severe paranoia, in which they lose touch with reality.The powdered form of cocaine is either inhaled through the nose (snorted), where it is absorbed through the nasal tissue, or dissolved in water and injected into the bloodstream. Crack is a form of cocaine that has been processed to make a rock crystal (also called “freebase cocaine”) that can be smoked.

17. 7. InhalantsFound in many household products (such as oven cleaners, gasoline, spray paints, and other aerosols) that induce mind-altering effects. Inhalants are extremely toxic and can damage the heart, kidneys, lungs, and brain. Even a healthy person can suffer heart failure and death within minutes of a single session of the prolonged sniffing of an inhalant.New younger users (ages 12–15) most commonly abuse glue, shoe polish, spray paints, gasoline, and lighter fluid. First-time older users (ages 16–17) most commonly abuse nitrous oxide, or “whippets.”
18.
19. 8. HallucinogensPerception-altering drugs—are highly variable and unreliable, producing different effects in different people at different times. This is mainly due to differences in the amounts and chemistries of active compounds within the drugs. Because of their unpredictable nature, the use of hallucinogens can be particularly dangerous.
20. Examples of hallucinogens include:MDMA (Ecstasy, “Molly”) produces both stimulant and mind-altering effects. It can increase body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and heart-wall stress. Ecstasy may also be toxic to nerve cells. It is taken orally, usually as a capsule or tablet. Its effects last approximately 3 to 6 hoursEcstasy is commonly taken in combination with alcohol and other drugs.Molly—slang for “molecular”—refers to the pure crystalline powder form of ecstasy.
21. Examples of hallucinogens include:LSD is one of the most potent hallucinogenic drugs. Its effects are unpredictable, and users may see vivid colors and images, hear sounds, and feel sensations that seem real but do not exist. This can last for hours. Some short-term effects can include increased body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure; sweating; loss of appetite; sleeplessness; dry mouth; and tremors.PCP (phencyclidine) was developed in the 1950s as an intravenous anesthetic. Psilocybin is obtained from certain types of mushrooms that are found in tropical and subtropical regions of South America, Mexico, and the United States. They cause hallucinations.

23. 9. SteroidsSteroids can be prescribed for certain medical conditions; however, they are often abused to increase muscle mass and to improve athletic performance or physical appearance. Anabolic steroids are taken orally or injected into the muscles, although some are applied to the skin as a cream or gel. Doses taken by abusers may be 10 to 100 times higher than doses prescribed to treat medical conditions.Significant impact on mood and behavior, heart disease, liver problems, stroke, infectious diseases, depression, and suicide.

25. 10. Bath SaltsAn emerging family of drugs containing one or more synthetic chemicals related to cathinone, an amphetamine-like stimulant found naturally in the khat plant. Cause paranoia, agitation, hallucinatory delirium, and psychotic and violent behavior. Deaths have also been reported.Bath salts typically take the form of a white or brown crystalline powder and are sold in small plastic or foil packages labeled “not for human consumption.”
26.
27. 11. HeroinProduces euphoria and feelings of relaxation. It slows respiration and can increase the risk of serious infectious diseases, especially when taken intravenously. Regular heroin use changes the functioning of the brain, causing tolerance and dependence.
