AMP (Amphetamine/Speed/Ecstasy)
Amphetamines are substances taken to boost energy, mood and confidence, as well as to suppress appetite(Amphetamine is a collective term given to amphetamines, dextroamphetamines and methamphetamines, all of which act similarly in the body. Out of these, methamphetamines are the strongest. (In the 1930s, they were used in nasal decongestants and to treat narcolepsy, ADHD and minimal brain dysfunction.)
mAMP (Methamphetamine/Speed/Ecstasy)
This drug is a stimulant and can cause an increase in heart
and respiratory rates, along with elevated blood pressure, dilated pupils and
decrease in appetite. Users may also experience sweating, headache, blurred
vision, dizziness, sleeplessness and anxiety. Very high doses can cause rapid or
irregular heartbeat, tremors, loss of coordination and physical collapse. When
used in injection form there is a sudden increase in blood pressure that can
result in stroke, very high fever or heart failure. Users of this drug report
feeling restless, anxious and have mood swings. With increased doses comes
increased effects. Users, over a long period of time, can develop an amphetamine
psychosis which could include hallucinations, delusions and paranoia.
COC (Cocaine)
This drug has similar effects of alcohol. If
taken in small amounts it can produce a calm state and relaxed muscles. Larger
doses can cause a slurring of speech, staggered gait and an altered perception.
Very large doses can cause a decrease in respirations, coma or death. When in
combination, alcohol and depressants can multiply the effects of both which
would increase risk. Some terms for this drug are: bump, coke, snow, candy, toot
and flake C. It can be ingested by snorting, smoking, injection or oral
consumption. The substance is a white crystalline powder usually mixed with
other substances such as corn starch, powdered milk, sugars or
flour.
OPI (Morphine and Heroin) This drug is also a stimulant and has similar effects as methamphetamine (ecstasy). Terms for this drug are: white stuff, miss emma, monkey, "M". The form is usually white crystals, hypodermic tablets or injectable solutions. Ingestion can be either orally, smoked or through injection. THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol/Marijuana) This drug can be either a stimulant or a sedative depending on the strain used. It is either smoked or eaten and causes a feeling of being "high" for several hours after use. Several regularly observed physical effects are an increase in heart rate, bloodshot eyes, dry mouth, dry throat and increase in appetite. Use of this drug may decrease short-term memory and comprehension, alter the sense of time and reduce ability to perform certain tasks such as driving a car. This drug can also produce paranoia and psychosis. Some terms for this drug are: marijuana, weed, grass, pot, reefer, joint, roach, mary jane, maui wowie, loco weed. PCP (Phencyclidine) This drug interrupts the functions of the neocortex, the part of the brain which controls intellect and instinct. The drug also blocks pain receptors which could cause violent PCP episodes resulting in self-inflicted injuries. PCP effects vary, but most frequently there is a sense of distance and estrangement. Time and body movements slow down and muscular coordination worsens along with the senses being dulled. Speech is blocked and incoherent. After chronic use there is paranoid and violent behavior along with hallucinations. Large doses of this drug could produce convulsions, coma, as well as heart and lung failure. This drug is a hallucinogen. |
