Marijuana can be addictive
– it affects the brain’s reward
centers in similar ways as all
other addictive substances
Marijuana contains 50 to 70
percent more carcinogenic
hydrocarbons than tobacco
smoke- but ironically does
NOT cause cancer.
Marijuana has scientifically
been proven 10-25x more
potent than 1960-70s
substance
[Synthetic Cannabinoids found in Herbal Products]
“Spice” and others products under various names may be smoked for their
psychoactive effects. Based on product analyses plant material is purposely spiked
with these substances and spraying process is NOT consistent.

• Shaking – sometimes caused by chills, sometimes caused by involuntary muscle
movement and cramping.
• Speech impairment — many users are incapable of communicating clearly or at all.
• Hallucinations — users may not recognize members of their own family, they may
believe they are someone else, etc.
• Paranoia — users may believe those around them intend them harm. This is a
dangerous situation.

Bath salts mimic the same high as methamphetamine or
cocaine.
Symptoms: include increased blood pressure, increased
heart rate, agitation, hallucinations, extreme paranoia and
delusions.

injected.
Marketing:
Sold in 250-500 mg packages $25-$50/ pkg
Naphyrone is also a stimulant that allegedly has
similar effects to mephedrone, which is an
ecstasy-like designer drug. Naphyrone is sold
under the brand name MRG-1 or Energy1
•Symptoms: Naphyrone allegedly works by overstimulating the body's pleasure receptors while flooding
the body with adrenaline. Little is known about its
toxicology.
•can create changes throughout the body that last for
days and can cause a person's body-temperature to reach
as high as 108 degrees. A fever of 108 degrees
Fahrenheit is usually fatal but surviving a 108 fever
means there may be lingering after effects of the fever.

Opiates and derivatives
Heroin, making the resurgence…
What does it Look like?
It is typically sold as a white or
brownish powder or as the black
sticky substance known on the
streets as "black tar heroin."
Short-Term Effects
"Rush" - Euphoria
Depressed respiration
Clouded mental functioning
Nausea and vomiting
Suppression of pain

Abscesses
Infection of heart lining and
valves
Arthritis and other
rheumatologic problems
Although purer heroin is
becoming more common, most
street heroin is "cut" with other
drugs or with substances such as
sugar, starch, powdered milk, or
quinine. Street heroin also can be
cut with strychnine or other
poisons.
Possible mixture w/
acetaminophen and Benadryl aka
“Cheese”
How is it used and what
are the EFFECTS:
Heroin is usually injected,
sniffed/snorted, or smoked.
Typically, a heroin abuser
may inject up to four times a
day.
Intravenous injection
provides the greatest
intensity and most rapid
onset of euphoria (7 to 8
seconds), while
intramuscular injection
produces a relatively slow
onset of euphoria (5 to 8
minutes).
When heroin is sniffed or
smoked, peak effects are
usually felt within 10 to 15
minutes.
Over all duration could be
This synthetic heroin is one of the deadliest
and most destructive drugs to hit the streets
in decades, called such because it turns the
users skin green and scaly from injection.
Rots the flesh from the inside out.
Desomorphine Ingredients: from codeine, iodine and
red phosphorus, in a process similar to the manufacture
of methamphetamine from pseudoephedrine; like
methamphetamine, desomorphine made this way is
often highly impure and is contaminated with various
toxic and corrosive byproducts.
The resulting "black paste" is injected as a substitute for
heroin.
Comparatively: The effects of heroin use can last four
to eight hours, the effects of Krokodil don't usually
extend past one and one half hours, with the symptoms
of withdrawal setting in soon after. Once a person starts
to use Krokodil they only have a few years left to live.

Hallucinogens are drugs that cause hallucinations - profound
distortions in a person's perceptions of reality. Under the influence of hallucinogens,
people see images, hear sounds, and feel sensations that seem real but do not exist.
Some hallucinogens also produce rapid, intense emotional swings.
Dissassociatives initially
developed as general anesthetics for
surgery, distort perceptions of sight and
sound and produce feelings of
detachment - dissociation - from the
environment and self. But these mindaltering effects are not hallucinations.

like Xanax or Valium
These drugs are odorless/colorless and are combined with alcohol and other beverages

rape,” or “drug-assisted” assault) due to their ability to sedate and incapacitate unsuspecting
victims, preventing them from resisting
may lead to withdrawal effects, including insomnia, anxiety, tremors, and sweating
When mixed w/ alcohol (CNS depressants) may result in nausea, breathing difficulties,
seizures or coma.
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic which distorts
perceptions of sight and sound and produces feelings of
detachment from the environment and self.

Usually sold in small, colorful pill form, sometimes red/orange or green
with the letters WY or R on it. Can be injected, smoked from foil or
swallowed
Effects: The drug is claimed to create an intense hallucinogenic effect and
can keep users awake for days on end, although some users have reported
that the visuals only come as a result of sleep deprivation after binge
sessions. Initial onset 1-3hrs when smoked or up to 16 hrs if swallowed.
Addictive and/or habit-forming. Regular use of the drug has been linked to
lung and kidney disorders, hallucinations and paranoia. A frequent
hallucination is 'speed bugs' or crank bugs' where users believe that bugs are
crawling under their skin and go loopy trying to get them out.
Those coming off the drug are also susceptible to severe depression and
suicidal urges.

• to study for the “all nighter”
• the list of reasons go on...
• They’re abusing stimulants such as Ritalin and Adderall for additional
energy and ability to focus; they’re abusing pain relievers like
OxyContin and tranquilizers such as Xanax to cope with academic,
social or emotional stress; prescription amphetamines to lose weight,
or prescription steroids to bulk up.
These products are sniffed, snorted, bagged (fumes
inhaled from a plastic bag), or “huffed” (inhalant-soaked
rag, sock, or roll of toilet paper in the mouth) to achieve a
high. Inhalants are also sniffed directly from the

STILL LEGAL HIGHS…..
“Salvia is also known by the Aztec Shamans as "Diviners Sage" or
Salvia Divinorum. Shaman have used the leaves of this plant for
hundreds of years to successfully induce out of body
experiences, astral projection, and divination and enhance
spiritual development...
Today, in the 21st century, this classic spiritual plant is still
surging in popularity. Thousands of people have tried the original
form of Salvia. People all over the world are beginning to
understand they can induce spiritual phenomena at their leisure.”
Salvia legislation may prove difficult to police to enforce. The plant has a nondescript appearance; unlike
cannabis the leaves are not distinctive and it does not have a distinctive odor. Salvia divinorum looks like and
can be grown as an ordinary houseplant without the need of special equipment such as hydroponics or highpower lights.
SUPER MUSHROOMS amanitas muscaria
(as well as all other Amanita species) is uncontrolled federally in the United
States. This means all parts of the plant and its extracts are legal to cultivate,
buy, possess, and distribute (sell, trade or give) without a license or prescription.
In the US, mushrooms and psilocybin are categorized under schedule 1 along with LSD,
cannabis, and heroin.

Who was the USA’s first busted
marijuana dealer?
• On October 2, 1937 the day that the
Marihuana Tax Act was passed,
federal agents arrested Mr. Samuel
Caldwell, age 58, in Denver, CO, for
selling two marihuana cigarettes.
Samuel Caldwell became the first
American convicted under the new
federal law. He was sentenced to 4
years in Leavenworth Penitentiary,
and died a year after being released.
