AND SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
✔✔heroin - ✔✔A chemical derivative of morphine. It is usually mixed into a liquid
solution and injected directly into a vein, or injected just under the skin. It can also be
snorted or taken orally when in powdered form.
✔✔Heroin withdrawal - ✔✔After the effects of heroin wear off, the attic usually has 8 to
12 hours in which to find the next dose before withdrawal symptoms appear
✔✔Heroin's effects on body and mind - ✔✔Mental clouding and reduced ability to
concentrate. Reduction in feelings of aggression, depressed appetite and sex drive, and
a general decline in the level of physical activity. Moderate doses can cause feelings of
body warmth, heaviness of the limbs, itchiness of the nose, constipation and
constriction of peoples larger doses lead to sleep, decrease blood pressure in slow
breathing
✔✔speedball - ✔✔Common combination of heroin and cocaine responsible for a great
many deaths especially some well publicized cases from Hollywood for example John
Belushi heroin is typically cut with other adulterants in order for the dealer to turn a high
profit on sales.
✔✔Meperidine (Demerol) - ✔✔The first synthetic narcotic ever produced. Similar
properties of morphine though less potent and unlike many of the narcotic drugs it
retains much of its potency when administered orally tolerance develops gradually
therefore it can be used effectively for several weeks at the same dose.
✔✔Methadone (Dolophine) - ✔✔Has a longer lasting affect lasting from 24 to 36 hours
and is highly effective when it's administered orally the drug can be given once a day in
detoxification or maintenance programs it appears to block the effects of other narcotic
drugs making methadone a valuable tool in the treatment of heroin and other narcotic
addictions the drug produces physical and psychological dependence those such
affects developed more slowly and with seemingly less severity.
✔✔Buprenorphine - ✔✔Opioid partial agonist. Although it is an opioid can produce
typical opioid agonist effects and side effects such as a euphoria and respiratory
depression it's maximal effects are less than those of full agonist like heroin and
methadone. Low doses produce sufficient Agonist effect to enable opiate addicted
individuals to discontinue the miss use of opioids without experiencing with drawl
symptoms.
✔✔Subutex and Suboxone - ✔✔Approved by the food and drug administration in
October 2002 as buprenorphine monotherapy product in a combination product for the
use of opioid treatment the combination product is designed to decrease the potential
for abuse by injection.
,✔✔Propoxyphene (Darvon) - ✔✔Only 1/5 to 1/10 as potent as codeine making it only
slightly more potent than two aspirin it continues to be one of the most prescribed
analgesics with more than 30 million prescriptions written each year the greatest
concern with the drug is the synergistic effect when combined with alcohol it ranks
second to barbiturates in prescription overdose deaths
✔✔Pentazocine (Talwin) - ✔✔popular drug of abuse because of the euphoria it
produces as well as pleasant sensations of floating comparable to marijuana to some
users.
✔✔T's and Blues - ✔✔Pentazocine and Pyrabenzamine (an antihistamine)
Heroin like effects
✔✔Oxycontin - ✔✔Semi synthetic opioid analgesic prescribed for chronic moderate to
severe pain is more potent and hydrocodone and has a greater potential for abuse.
Contains between 10 and 160 mg of oxycodone in a time release tablet.
✔✔side effects of narcotics - ✔✔Drowsiness depressed respiration nausea vomiting
increase acid flow in the stomach constriction of the pupils and constipation tolerance
generally develops rapidly with continued heavy use with drawl syndrome is quite
pronounced
✔✔withdrawal from narcotics - ✔✔Watering eyes nasal discharge uncontrollable
yawning heavy sweating agitated sleep awakening loss of appetite depression dilated
pupils tremors peak withdrawal 36 to 72 hours after cessation of use include chills
flushing insomnia violent yawning and sneezing gooseflesh vomiting abdominal cramps
elevated heart rate and blood pressureWatering eyes nasal discharge uncontrollable
yawning heavy sweating agitated sleep awakening loss of appetite depression dilated
pupils tremors peak withdrawal 36 to 72 hours after cessation of use include chills
flushing insomnia violent yawning and sneezing gooseflesh vomiting abdominal cramps
elevated heart rate and blood pressure pains in the muscles bones and joints muscle
spasms and jerking motions
✔✔length of withdrawal from narcotics - ✔✔5 to 7 days the effects generally not fatal
unlike alcohol and barbiturate withdrawal and a user can actually go "cold turkey" with
no major concern
✔✔Narcotic Analogs (Designer Narcotics) - ✔✔China white, Persian white, Mexican
brown, and "new heroine" fentanyl analogs methylfentanyl and meperidine analogues
✔✔AMF (alpha-methylfentanyl) - ✔✔And analog of the drug fentanyl, highly potent
narcotic analgesic sold under the trade name of Sublimaze. Did extremely potent
, compound which has a little difference between the toes that produces euphoria and
one that is fatal
✔✔MPPP & PEPAP - ✔✔A potent analog of the drug Demerol as well as its cousin still
fully not known but presume to be comparable the more potent effects include euphoria
disorientation and mild mental confusion dizziness drowsiness visual disturbances and
slight respiratory depression such affects with me last up to three hours
✔✔MPTP - ✔✔1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine toxic by product created
when excessive heat or acid is used to make MPP. Studies reveal the MPTP has no
narcotic properties instead it metabolizes by the brain into a toxic that destroys nerve
cells the result is again Parkinson's like disease
✔✔Inhalants - ✔✔Large group of chemicals which include solvents, aerosols, gases
and nitrates. Typically are CNS depressants. Rarely thought of as drugs. Typically
found over the counter. Moderate use can create an effect similar to alcohol
intoxication. Physical and psychological dependence. Immediate death for user a term
called sudden "sniffing death syndrome"
✔✔why adolescents use inhalants - ✔✔Some of the most readily available high
producers, inexpensive, legal, package compactly, works quickly and doesn't last too
long, hangover not as bad as most drugs.
✔✔commercial solvents - ✔✔found in such products as airplane glue, plastic cement,
paint thinner, gasoline, cleaning fluids, nail polish, polish remover, lighter fluids and
typewriter correction fluids
✔✔Aerosols - ✔✔Particles suspended in gas generally found in many household and
commercial sprays contain various hydrocarbons such as Freon and are found in
products like cooking sprays, glass chillers, spray paints, hairsprays, and our soul whip
cream Freon is also used in refrigerators and air conditioners and can be purchased in
most automotive supply stores for under one dollar
✔✔Poppers/snappers - ✔✔A drug called animal nitrate crystals of the drugs are placed
in a cloth covered glass capsule that is snapped into an inhaled it is commonly used in
treatment for heart patients, has long been used on the street as an enhancement for
sexual orgasm
✔✔rush/locker room - ✔✔Butyl nitrate legally manufactured and sold as a room odorizer
or liquid incense costs around five dollars when inhaled they produce is a short hight it
