Illicit Drug Use

In 2005, an estimated 19.7 million Americans aged
12 or older were current (past month) illicit drug
users

old or older
Illicit drugs include marijuana/hashish, cocaine
(including crack), heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants, or
prescription-type psychotherapeutics used nonmedically

Two Drugs in Combination:
How Do They Affect Pupil Size?
 Situation
#1
 Neither
drug affects pupil size
 Example: PCP and Valium
 Neither one affects the size of the pupils
 The combination will also not affect pupil size
Multijurisdictional Counterdrug Task Force Training
95
Null Effect
 No
action plus no action equals no action
 If
neither drug affects a particular indicator
of impairment, their combination also will
not affect that indicator

Two Drugs in Combination:
How Do They Affect Pupil Size?
 Situation
#2
 One
drug affects the pupil size, but the other
does not
 Example: PCP and cocaine
 Cocaine dilates pupils, PCP doesn’t affect pupils
 The combination will affect pupil size
Multijurisdictional Counterdrug Task Force Training
97
Overlapping Effect
 Action
plus no action equals action
 If
one drug affects a particular indicator of
impairment, and another drug has no effect
on that indicator, the combination of those
two drugs will affect the indicator, in the
same way as the first drug alone
Multijurisdictional Counterdrug Task Force Training
98
Two Drugs in Combination:
How Do They Affect Pupil Size?
 Situation
#3
 The
two drugs affect pupil size in the same way
LSD and cocaine
 Cocaine dilates pupils; so does LSD
 The combination will affect pupil size
 Example:

Additive Effect
 Action
plus the same action produces
reinforced action
 If
two drugs independently affect some
indicator in the same way, their use in
combination will also affect the indicator
and the effect may be reinforced
Multijurisdictional Counterdrug Task Force Training
100
Two Drugs in Combination:
How Do They Affect Pupil Size?
 Situation
#4
 The
two drugs affect pupil size in exactly
opposite ways
 Example: heroin and cocaine
 Cocaine dilates pupils, heroin constricts pupils
 We can’t predict how the combination will affect
pupil size
Multijurisdictional Counterdrug Task Force Training
101
Antagonistic Effect
 Action
versus opposite action: can’t predict
the outcome
 If
two drugs affect some indicator in exactly
opposite ways, their use in combination
could affect that indicator in any possible
way
