They.
produce relaxation, lowering of anxiety, drowsiness, and sleep. They include.
sedatives (such as barbiturates, alcohol, and tranquilizers) and narcotics.
(heroin, morphine, opium, codeine), which dull the mind's perception of pain.
Some drugs are not included in the stimulant/depressant categories. An.
example is the hallucinogens, such as PCP and LSD, which produce unusual mental.
states such as psychedelic visions. Also, marijuana is not generally regarded as.
belonging to any one of these categories.
Effects of Drugs.
There are four basic stages that the drug user goes through. In stage.
one, there are no outward behavioral changes caused by the use of drugs. The.
drug use is considered normal. In stage two, the user actively seeks the.
euphoric effects of the drug by using it more frequently. A reliable source of.
the drug is established. The user may add mid-week use rather than only on.
weekends or at parties. In younger users, a general lack of motivation is.
noticed, along with changes in friends and lower grades. In stage three, the.
user is extremely preoccupied with the desire to experience the effects of the.
drug. The drug is used daily. There may be thoughts of suicide and/or depression.
There may be family problems or trouble with the law. In the fourth and final.
stage, the user has become addicted. They are dependent on the drug just to feel.
normal. Physical signs are frequent sore throats, coughing, fatigue, and weight.
loss. They may be experiencing overdosing and blackouts more frequently. The.
user may be engaging in criminal activities in order to obtain money for the.
drug.
Alcohol.
One major drug that physically effects the user is alcohol. It causes.
damage to the brain, pancreas, and kidney. It also causes high blood pressure.
and may heighten the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Other consequences of.
alcohol abuse are possible alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, stomach.
and duodenal ulcers, colitis, irritable colon, impotence and infertility, birth.
