physical
DIAGNOSTIC
CRITERIA
FROM
DSM-IVTM
A.
intoxication or withdrawal
symptoms when expected to fulfill major role
ABUSE POTENTIAL
The strength of a drugs ability to
induce run, rush well being.
It depends on the properties of the
drug and on pattern of use
(route, frequency, dose, etc)

injectable formulations
Synthetic Narcotics
Meperidine (demerol)
Darvon

authorities (e.g. -been over 15 for
Fentanyl)

cardiac arrest, impaired physical performance,
death from overdose.

anti-fatigue, hunger
suppression,
antidepressant
(benzedrine, dexedrine)
Methamphetamine injected or smoked.
Aka - Ice, Crystal Meth

Ecstasy use is one of the most rapidly growing
phenomena in todays drug scene.
Short-term effects
Ecstasys downside
Increases in heart rate and blood
pressure
Nausea
Loss of appetite
Jaw tightness
Compulsive chewing and teeth clenching
Anxiety, panic, and depression
Health risks increase if ecstasy is
combined with another drug
The Hallucinogens
Sensory deprivation enhancement
dysfunction
All five senses can be involved
Primary types:
Marijuana
LSD
Psilocybin
Peyote / Mescaline
A raft of others
Hallucinogen Data:
Action sought: sensory distortion, out of body
experience, mood change, relaxation,
Dependence risk: both physical and psychological
Dangers / side effects: paranoia, elevated heart
rate, increased blood pressure, and dilated pupils.
Grandiose feelings can lead to dangerous activity or
decisions. Fearful experiences leading to agitation and
fear of the experience being real.
Prevalence of use: estimated 25 million users of
marijuana in the US and another .5 - 1 million users
of other hallucinogens
Marijuana
Cannabis sativa
1st cultivated for
fibers (Washington)
Cannabinoids
(THC)
Smoked, chewed,
eaten
Marinol medical
use
Potency has
skyrocketed in 30
years (1% to over
20%)
Mechanism of Action
Mostly unknown until the late 1980s
1988 Isolated the receptors
1992 Discovered the first neurotransmitter for
that receptor
CB-2 Receptor
Mostly in periphery
Found primarily in
immune system
Found on heart
protects from
inflammation?
Relaxation
Balance
impaired
Drowsiness
Decreased
muscle strength
Exhilaration,
euphoria
Small tremor
Sensory - perceptual
changes
Poor on complex
tasks (e.g.,
driving)
Higher Doses
Psychotomimetic
Pseudo hallucinations
Synesthesias
Impaired
executive function
Increased
impulsivity
Paranoia
Agitation
Disorganized
thoughts
Confusion
Impaired
judgment, slower
RT
Pronounced motor
deficits
Physiological Effects
of Marijuana
Physiological effects
Increase in pulse rate & slight drop in BP
Produces dry mouth & occasional dizziness
Reddening of eyes (dilation of vessels in cornea)
No permanent adverse cardiovascular
People with heart disease should abstain
Increased risk for heart attack four an hour after smoking
Appetite increased
Hypothalamus
Hedonic Hotspot specific area of NAC when stimulated
by cannabinoids there is an increase in the reward value of
natural rewards.
THC Toxicity
Almost impossible to OD
1-1.8 kg w/5% taken orally in a female
THC not toxic in this sense
Pot smoke contains more tar than cigarette
smoke
Does one smoke the same?
Cancer and respiratory possibilities
Data on cancer is very mixed recent
studies show no relationship
THC found to kill cultured hippocampal cells,
but so far not in other cells high in CB receptor
density
Effect reversed with NSAIDS
Possible mechanism for memory loss
LSD
Lysergic acid
diethylamide (LSD) is
the most potent
hallucinogen known to
science
1938 Dr. Albert Hoffman
Very potent in pure form
Alters sensory
perception
Not much use until late
50s and into 60s for
study of mental illness
The late Dr. Timothy
Leary
Psilocybin
Found in the wild
throughout the Americas
as well as cultivated
(basements, caves)
One of the tryptamines
naturally occuring but
can be synthesized
Potency varies by variety
and cultivation
Hallucinogens Analogue
Heaven
The Steroids
Used for performance
enhancement and
weight gain
Natural:
testosterone
Synthetics /
anabolics:
Boldenone
Methenolone
Nandrolone
Steroid Data:
Betel Nut
The fruit of the
Areca catechu tree

Mild stimulant that
is a cholinergic
agonist
Not a high abuse
