Slide 10-

ALCOHOL Alcohol goes directly from your digestive system into your blood and within minutes spreads to entire body, including brain It spreads evenly throughout body-except brain which gets the highest concentration because it gets more blood than any other part of body More blood equals more alcohol Intoxication (drunkenness) starts in the brain
Slide 11-

The path of alcohol in the body Mouth: alcohol enters the body. Stomach: some alcohol gets into the bloodstream in the stomach, but most goes on to the small intestine. Small Intestine: alcohol enters the bloodstream through the walls of the small intestine. Heart: pumps alcohol throughout the body. Brain: alcohol reaches the brain. Liver: alcohol is oxidized by the liver at a rate of about 0.5 oz per hour. Alcohol is converted into water, carbon dioxide and energy.
Slide 12-

MARIJUANA Marijuana is the most common illegal drug around Comes from a plant called “cannabis” Some people call it pot, weed, grass, hash, smoke or ganja Cannabis has the chemical “tetrahydrocannabinol” or THC When you smoke a joint the THC goes into the lungs, then into the heart which pumps into the bloodstream which takes it directly to brain
Slide 30-

MARIJUANA Only takes few minutes for THC to get to brain when you smoke marijuana Eating takes longer to get to brain-passes through digestive system first In brain, activates “receptors” gives you the feeling of being high Marijuana changes physical and chemical balance in your brain
Slide 31-

MARIJUANA Short Term Effects: Increase in heart rate, lead to anxiety and paranoia Distorted concept of time and space Decrease in concentration skills, short-term memory capacity Feeling tired after the “high” wears off Increase in appetite, weight gain Long Term Effects: Breathing problems Lung cancer Damage cells and tissues in the body that fight disease Lack of motivation Difficulty processing new information
Slide 32-

MARIJUANA Marijuana and cigarette smoke have some of the same cancer-causing substances. Benzopyrene (cancer-producing agent) higher in marijuana 400 chemicals in marijuana smoke affect lungs, throat and esophagus

Slide 46-

KETAMINE Fast acting anaesthetic and pain killer used primarily in veterinary surgery, and human medicine Produces vivid dreams of hallucinations Makes user feel that the mind is separated from the body “dissociation”
Slide 47-

KETAMINE Ketamine for medicine use is sold in liquid form Available in white powder form which is snorted, mixed into drinks, or smoked with marijuana Liquid added to drinks or injected Dissolves when slipped into drinks

KETAMINE Effects of drug felt between 1-10 min after use (Lasts about an hr) Drunken and dizzy feeling Numbness of body, Blurred vision, Confusion, feeling of being “weightless” Intense, terrifying hallucinations Loss of consciousness Prevents user from feeling pain Leads to suffocation – by breathing vomit into lungs Reduces level of oxygen in the brain, heart and muscles which can lead to death
Slide 49-

HEROIN Processed from morphine – obtained from opium poppy “downer” affects brain’s pleasure systems – interferes with brains ability to feel pain
Slide 50-

HEROIN white to dark brown powder or tar-like substance is cut with other drugs or substances (sugar, starch, powdered milk) abusers don’t know actual strength of drug or true contents = high chance of overdose or death sharing needles and equipment cause other diseases and problems for users
Slide 51-

HEROIN leads to flushing of skin, dry mouth, collapsed veins, liver disease additives don’t dissolve leading to clogs in blood vessels that lead to lungs, liver, kidney or brain tolerance develops with regular use – user needs more heroin to achieve same intensity

Slide 60-

Cocaine + CRACK Blood vessels thicken and constrict, reduce flow of oxygen to heart Heart muscles work harder can lead to heart attack or stroke Raises blood pressure, can explode weakened blood vessels in brain Small amount can lead to overdose Overdose can cause seizure or heart failure Snorting cocaine can cause sinus infection and loss of smell
Slide 61-

Cocaine + CRACK Damage tissues in nose, cause hole in nose Damage lungs-severe chest pains, breathing problems, high temperatures Cocaine increases the same chemicals in the brain that make people feel good when they eat, drink or have sex
Slide 62-

CRYSTAL METH Man-made drug Easy to produce (15 chemicals used) Main ingredient pseudo ephedrine ( cold remedy), is cooked with chemicals found at hardware store-red phosphorous, iodine, ammonia, paint thinner, ether, Drano, lithium from batteries Investment of $150 can yield up to $10,000 worth of the drug Each kg of meth produced 5-7kg of chemical waste dumped down the drain or dumped in backyard
Slide 63-

CRYSTAL METH By-product is toxic gas which causes fires or explosions Drug was used during Second World War to keep pilots awake on long missions Methamphetamine releases high levels of dopamine in the brain a neurotransmitter that is associated with pleasurable or rewarding experiences After it is taken user feels increased wakefulness and physical activity and decreased appetite
Slide 64-

CRYSTAL METH Higher doses cause irritability, insomnia, confusion, hallucinations, anxiety, paranoia and increased aggression Even higher doses can cause hypothermia, convulsions and lead to death When body is stimulated by meth it causes irreversible damage Increased heart rate and blood pressure damage blood vessels in the brain, causing strokes, irregular heart beat causing a collapse or death
Slide 65-

Sex risks Substance abuse is correlated with risky sex… In one study a woman coming off of meth reported 100 different sexual encounters with 60 different partners in the past month. Risky sex is correlated with many diseases
