SMART DRUGS:
ReplyDelete1) no long term test have been done to show the effects of these drugs on children younger than 6; doctors have started prescribing these pills as quick fixes so they dont have to conduct further treatment; prozac and ritalin have started being prescribed to kids between the age of 2 and 4.
2)ritalin prozac
3)yes, i thought these drugs were there to help these kids, but the doctors are just giving it to them because they dont want to actually find out whats wrong instead they just want a "quick fix"
HEROIN:
1) is made from poppy pants; in 1924 the selling and making of heroin became illegal;injecting heroin in the vein can cause in effect in 7-8 seconds; injecting it in the muscle can cause effects in 5-8 minutes
2)horse crank jive
3)nope, ive never understood the reason for doing drugs so i dont understand it now :)
ALCOHOL:
1) depressant; worlds oldest drug; alcohol can damage the frontal lobe
2)booze
3)nope, ive never felt the need to drink alcohol so i dont feel any different now
Neuroscience on Stamps
ReplyDelete1.) The United states has a stam about drug abuse, Cuba is a major tobacco country, and Hungary supports not drinking and driving.
2.) Well, they were stamps from different countries so, they didn't say anything about other names for the substances.
3.) No, not really. I just didn't know that different countries had different stamps on drugs.
MDMA
1.)MDMA gives off "intense joy or delight", it damges Nerve cells in the brain, and the drug is usually taken to relax a person.
2.) Some other names for this substance are: Dover, "E", Adam, and XTC.
3.) My opinion of the drug has changed because, now I have a better understanding on exactly what it can do to you.
LSD
1.) LSD is a drug that can alter the user's mood, cause the user to be in a dream-like state, and its a type of fungus.
2.)There were no other names listed for LSD.
3.)Well, I have neaver taken the drug and do not plan to but, if I did however got tricked or whatnot I would know what to do and not freak out too much.
caffeine:
ReplyDelete1. a fatal dose of caffeine has been calculated to be more than 10 grams, has effects as soon as 15 minutes after consumption, and excedrin has 65 mg of caffeine in it.
2. no other names
3. yes, i did not know caffeine could be potentially fatal.
ritalin:
1. it is approved for ages 6 and up, ritalin is being prescribed to children as young as 2, and studies suggest the drug can cause changes in the brain of young animals.
2. no other names
3. yes, i think the drug should not be used on 2 year olds if its not approved for people under six. that just seems wrong.
amphetamines:
1. amphetamines can cause the release of dopamine from axon terminals, it causes feelings of happiness and power, and many effects are similar to cocaine.
2. no other names
3 i never had an opinion on this but i didn't know the effects were similar to cocaine.
Smart Drugs:
ReplyDelete1) The effect of these drugs is unknown on young children, but has seen that it affects the brains of young animals. It is not advised to be used on children under the age of six because it alters the way the synapses work in their brains. It also says that there are an estimated of 12 million children with mental illnesses.
2)There aren't really any other names for these drugs besides "smart drugs"
3) I think this is kind of ridiculous. Parents should avoid just putting their child on a pill to make them act how they want, instead of actually taking the time to find out what the source of the problem is.
Acetaminophen:
1)I learned that as few as 8 pills of Acetaminophen can cause severe liver damage. I also learned that alcohol can speed up the liver damage and can make it worse. I also learned that many parents have to take their children to the emergency room for giving them children's acetaminophen vs. infant's strength.
2)Other names for this drug include Tylenol, Motrin and the like.
3) I never really knew this could be that dangerous. I'll definitely watch how much of this I take from now on. I don't want my liver to be damaged!
LSD:
1) I learned that this drug is actually found as a fungus on rye bread. I also learned that people develop a tolerance to LSD quickly and must increase their doses continually in order to produce the same effects of strangeness. I learned that the penalty for 1 gram of LSD is 5 years in prison.
2) It doesn't say any other names for this drug.
3) I think 5 years for one gram isn't enough. If people are dumb enough to get caught with it, then they deserve to rot in prison, basically.
CAFFEINE
ReplyDelete1.) The most popular drug in the world, in massive doses caffeine is lithal, and you can feel the effects of caffeine in 15 minutes.
2.) Coffee or jolt
3.) I don't really like soda or chocolate really so I don't get that make caffeine but I could see where it could be harmful
Ritalin
1.) Theat mood disorders and ADHD, no studies have been done to see long-term effects, and rats that have been exposed to this drug have memory problems.
2.) Antidepressant
3.) I can see that it would have some bad long term effects.
Heroin
1.) Seed pod of the poppy is cut and a juice flows out, can be injected of mixed with drinks, and it also causes depression of the central nervous system.
2.)crank, smack, and shag
3.) I think heroin is absolutely horrible and gross, I just don't see how that makes you have a "good time" when it is a depressant.
Caffeine
ReplyDelete1) That caffeine is the most consumed drug in the world. Pue caffiene is orderless and and bitter.And that it was dicsovered by a goat herder named Khaldi.
2)There are no other names but I call it "cup of Joe".
3)Yes, because I did not know that it had such effects on the body.
LSD
1)It is soluble in water, orderless and tasteless. It is an hallucinogen and a dose as smae as a grain of salt can produce effects.
2)No other names.
3)Yes it has. I dont really see how people especially some teenagers enjoy getting high off LSD. With all the different side effects that occur at once this feeling must be quite uncomfortable and even painful.
Nicotine
1)It enters the brain about eight secondds after inhaling or smoking. More than a 100 chemiclas is added to tobacco to make cigarettes. And you gave a faster resperation.
2)Other names are not mentioned.
3)YES. There are about 100 different chemicals added to nicotine to make cigarettes. This is very bad for somone to be injesting so many chemicals into one's body. I find it ironic that all the effects and results are BOLDLY printed on the box and people still smoke.
Caffeine
ReplyDelete1. Caffeine is dangerous in big doses. It's the most consumed drug in the world. You feel the effects of caffeine in about 15 minutes.
2. There are no actual other names for it. But people get it from coffee. Or energy drinks.
3. I'm just very surprised that caffeine is really a drug. I didn't realize the strong effects it had on the body.
Ritalin
1. It treats mood disorders and ADHD. It's being prescribed to children as young as 2. It created memory problems in rats exposed to it.
2. Antidepressant
3. I don't think it's right that it's being prescribed to children younger than 6, because it says that it's not safe for children younger than 6.
LSD
1. A dose as small as a grain of salt can produce effects. It's soluble in water, and it's orderless and tasteless.
2. It has no other names.
3. I think people should stay in jail for longer than 5 years if caught with one gram. Like if you're going to do it, and be stupid enough to get caught with it, it should be longer.
Alcohol
ReplyDelete1)Americans drink the equivalent of 500 million gallons of pure alcohol each year. Chronic alcohol use can cause a vitamin deficiency. In high doses, alcohol can cause the user to go into a coma.
2)Booze
3)No, it doesn't suprise me of all the effects that alcohol can have on your body. I already knew most of the information on the website.
Barbiturates
1)Barbiturates is just another name for sleeping pills. The first barbiturate was made in the 1860s. The musician, Jimi Hendrix, died on September 18, 1970, of a barbiturate overdose.
2)Sleeping pills
3)No, everybody knows what sleeping pills can do to your body if you overdose on them.
Heroin
1)Morphine is extracted from the poppy plant and is converted to heroin through a chemical process. Heroin was first produced in 1874 from morphine. In 1924, the Heroin act was passed that made manufacture and possession of heroin illegal.
2)Horse, crank, jive, smack, junk, shag, and dope.
3)No, because i just did my drug presentation on heroin so i already knew most of the information, so none of it really suprised me.
1. Ritalin is considered a quick fix, it is a treatment for mood disorders, in 2000 there was a study done that found out that doctors giving 2-4 year old kids had doubled.
ReplyDelete2.Caffine is deadly if you injest enough of it, it is a stimulant, and the minimum amount of phisical dependance is four cups a day.
3.Heroin is a opiate drug, is made of morphine and the opium plant juice, there are places in the brain made to recieve opiates.

CAFFINE:
ReplyDelete1)It's considered the most popular drug in the world.
2)Not any other names for caffine.
3)I can see how it can be harmful, but i dont drink a ridulous amount of caffine. So, im going to keep drinking it.
LSD:
1)The dose can be as small as a grain of salt, and still have effects on you.
2)I think its wrong to have it on you. but i think 5 years in jail is plenty of time. My best friend is in jail, and i wouldnt wish that on ANYONE!
ALCOHOL:
1) We drink 500 million gallons of alcohol each year!!! woahhh!
2)Booze, Brewskie

Nicotine:
1.According to the US Centers for Disease Control, there are about 46.2 million adult cigarette smokers in the US.
2.There was no other names for it.
3.It's crazy how there is 100 different chemicals added to it. I really think it should be made illegal to smoke ( considering how many people are dying from it, or it's effects)
ALCOHOL:
1.Worlds oldest drug
2.Booze
3.Nope i never really understood why some people drink so much of it. Definately not something I palning on doing.
ALCOHOL:
ReplyDelete1.It's the world's oldest known drug, Americans drink the equivalent 500 million gallons of pure alcohol each year, and alcohol comsumption by college students is linked to at least 1,400 student deaths each year.
2. Booze is another name for this substance.
3. My opinion on the topic of alcohol has not changed because I knew the basis of this information just not the specifics. Plus I think alcohol consumption is ok when it is being done by responsible people who know their limits and aren't addicted to it.
CAFFEINE:
1.Caffeine can be lethal in massive doses, it takes about 6 hours for 1/2 of the caffeine to be eliminated from the body, and Americans consume about 45 million pounds of caffeine each year.
2.There are no other names for caffeine.
3. My opinion about caffeine has not really changed at all after reading about it. I guess I will try to cut down a bit on how much I drink but I was trying to do that anyways.
ACETAMINOPHEN:
1. At least 15,000 people are taken to the emergency room because of acetaminophen poisoning each year, less than 8 pills combined with alcohol can cause death, and at least 100 people die each year from adverse effects of taking too much acetaminophen.
2. Some other names for acetaminophen are Tylenol, Motrin, Advil, and aspirin.
3. This doesn't really change my opinion on taking acetaminophen because I have to take it everyday for my disease. But it does make me more aware of how much I'm taking.
Caffeine
ReplyDelete1.I didnt know was the most popular "drug" in the world.
2.In massive doses, caffeine is lethal.

2.cocaine is the second most dangerous drug.
3.Two legal drugs, alcohol and tobacco, were ranked in the top ten of the most dangerous drugs.For heroine nicknames dope,dragon etc. and for cocaine stardust,snow etc. yes my opinion has changed. I will never do these drugs.
GHB
1.A dose that makes one person feel euphoric can make another person sick.
2.GHB was first developed as a general anesthetic.
3.GHB has been grouped with other drugs in the "date-rape drug".Nicknames scoop, Gerogia home boy. Yes my opinion has changed. Ghb is a date rape drug.So I dont need to leave my drinks untended.
1.) HERION
ReplyDeleteWhat I didn't know: The British and China had "Opium Wars". I think it's amusing how the British got angry that China did the right thing by banning it. I can just imagine in their accents yelling "Bloody h***! Take my opium! How am I supposed to pay for the flat?!" Although, they probably didn't have or call whatever their homes may be, flats.
Names: diacetylmorphine, jive, horse, dope.
Not exactly. I enjoy gathering the information. It's still a bad thing to do, in my opinion.
2.) ALCOHOL
What I didn't know: That it can cause damage to the frontal lobe. Which, if I knew about the frontal lobe way before this class, it would have made sense.
Names: Booze. "Drank"
My opinion hasn't changed.
3.) PCP
What I didn't know: PCP is depressant.
Names: Angel dust, hog, rocket fuel.
Not that my opinion has changed, but I'm glad I know more about what it does to you.
