HOW DRUGS AFFECT THE BRAIN – YOUR MOST PRECIOUS BODY ORGAN!

Psychoactive drugs target the brain's reward system by flooding the circuit with

_______________________________. Dopamine is a neuro-transmitter in the brain that regulates emotion,

motivation, and pleasure. The overstimulation of this system produces a false euphoric (high) effect.

Just like turning down the volume on a radio that’s too loud, the brain adjusts to the overwhelming

surges in dopamine by producing _____________ or by reducing the number of receptors that can

receive and transmit signals. As a result, dopamine's impact can become abnormally low, and the

ability to experience any pleasure is reduced.

This is why the abuser eventually feels flat, lifeless, and depressed,

and is unable to enjoy things that previously brought them pleasure.

Now, they need to take drugs just to bring their dopamine function

back up to normal, + they must take larger amounts of the drug

to create the dopamine high - an effect known as _____________________________.

The most development of the frontal lobe (which controls rational thinking, reasoning,

emotions, decisions, memory, and personality) is between the ages 15 and 22. Are you

allowing drugs to hinder this important development ????… A teen who uses drugs

changes his or her brain, and that in turn changes their emotions, personality and values!

1. INHALANTS: (ARE DEPRESSANTS + SLOW the brain’s CNS) Inhalants can kill you the first time you use them!

Research shows that inhalant use is associated with symptoms of depression.

Neurons in a part of the brain called the hippocampus can also be

damaged by inhalants. Brain cells don't get enough oxygen. Since the

hippocampus helps control memory, someone who repeatedly uses

inhalants may lose the ability to learn new things, or have a hard time in

simple conversations.

3. HALLUCINOGENS: (these interfere with and distort the senses. Some are also DEPRESSANTS like pot)

Salvia: is a legal herb that may be legal, but very dangerous.

Even seasoned drug users have called salvia “too intense” and “scary,” and it can be a

precursor to schizophrenia.

LSD: known as “Acid,” causes severe hallucinations, dangerous behaviors, and causes

__________________ even 10 years after use.

PCP: is a hallucinogen, depressant, stimulant, and narcotic ____________________________ –

because of this, it causes very dangerous reactions and behaviors

Psilocybin (mushrooms): Be aware of poisonous mushrooms, severe anxiety and paranoia.

Cannabis (Marijuana): The biggest danger of

pot is that kids think there’s no danger!!

Marijuana is _________________________________

(see statistic on cover page)

Marijuana is a ______________________________________ drug- it’s often the first drug kids

use.

It takes the average person who is using meth or cocaine 1 year to realize they need to

quit. It takes the average person 8 years to realize they are an alcoholic. It takes the

average pot smoker _____ years to realize marijuana is hurting their life and they need to

quit!!!!

Marijuana causes _______________________________________ ___________ syndrome–

an “I don’t care” attitude. Pot is the only drug that makes people who use it

unmotivated to quit it.

Using pot 8 x a month

signifies you are

A D D I C T E D !!


4. STIMULANTS: (SPEED UP the CNS)

Cocaine - the high feels so intense, and then

o the crash feels so bad, that the person wants to use again…

methamphetamine -can give even healthy people

a heart attack _______________________________________________ and can

damage blood vessels in the brain, leading to strokes (which can produce

irreversible damage).

Meth can cause paranoid, ____________________________ and

__________________________ behaviors.

Ecstasy - Ecstasy is a stimulant that can cause hyperthermia-where body temp.

can get so high it leads to liver, kidney and heart failure. The second phase of E

is a hallucinogen that causes people to have heightened

__________________________, BUT they are actually killing the brain cells

responsible for these emotions and can __________________ the ability to feel

emotions and desires permanently!!! (Meth and cocaine use also causes this

some type of brain damage!)

Ritalin -is a prescription safely used to help people with ADHD focus, but it

can cause dangerous reactions if used without a prescription.

5. DEPRESSANTS: (SLOW DOWN the brain’s CNS) Alcohol - The brain of a teen and who drinks heavily is about 10 % ________________than the

non-drinker’s brain!!

Repeated alcohol exposure can alter the trajectory, or path, of teen brain development

impacting adolescents even after they become adults.

Cough Medicine: Some cough syrups that contain DXM also contain decongestants,

which when abused, can cause hypoxic _______________________________ (not getting

enough oxygen to the brain). Just because it’s an “Over-the-Counter” drug does not

mean it’s safe. It’s not if you don’t’ follow directions.

Sleeping pills, tranquilizers – are highly addictive, and can also cause the brain to

completely shut down and go into a coma or death.

Rohypnol and GHB: Rohypnol (”Roofies”) is known as the “date rape” drug. It’s odorless

and colorless and causes a person to be completely “out of it” and the next day they

have no memory.

GHB- Gamma hydroxy butyrate is basically degreasing solvent or floor stripper mixed

with drain cleaner. It is colorless but has a slight bitter taste. It can cause the brain to

lose control of the muscles and cause wetting your pants, respiratory problems, and

choking on a piece of gum. It also causes _________________________ and

6. NARCOTICS: (some RELIEVE PAIN, some are DEPRESSANTS to treat anxiety or sleep

disorders)

Includes: Oxycodone (Oxycontin), Darvon, Hydrocodone (Vicodon), Percocet, Heroin,

Morphine, Codeine, Valium, Xanax, and more...

One of the most dangerous ways narcotics affects the brain is

_________________________. Addiction occurs when patients take the

medications for effects other than pain relief. Use of these medications needs to

be monitored by you and your physician. THESE DRUGS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE

TAKEN WITHOUT A DOCTOR’S PERMISSION AND MONITORING!!!

Another dangerous side-effect of use is __________________________________.

Narcotics can cause: Restlessness, Nausea, Dizziness, Confusion, Respiratory

depression, Scars (tracks) caused by injections, Loss of appetite,

Cough, Lethargy, Tolerence, Addiction, Unconsciousness

Withdrawal affects: Watery eyes, Runny nose, Cramps, Loss of

appetite, Irritability, Nausea, Tremors, Panic, Chills, Sweating

Overdose: Slow, shallow breathing, Clammy skin, Convulsions

Respiratory depression and arrest (stop breathing), Coma, Death

Do I, or does my friend have a drug problem?

Does your friend seem like a different person when she drinks or gets high?

Has she been letting you down lately and you think it's connected to drug use?

This can be a difficult situation to deal with, and sometimes it gets worse before it gets

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ADDICTIONS??

There are some factors you can’t control, but for many of

these risks, simply choose the opposite in your life:

-choose friends who don’t use

-work on good grades

-don’t smoke cigarettes

-don’t drink alcohol while your body’s still growing

-choose to have positive self-esteem

-get depression or other mental illnesses treated

-deal with stress with time out, work out, reach out (counseling), and be honest about the risk involved and negative side effects of drug use.

HOW MANY DO YOU HAVE IN

YOUR LIFE??? The more risk factors you have on this list, the more likely it is that you will become ADDICTED!! If you have several risk factors… Look at yourself, your family background, your behavior and your experiences. BEING HONEST about the risk factors in your life can help you assess your own personal risk for addiction. You are still young and you can have many healthy years ahead.
