Facts
The THC content may vary greatly, depending on the genetic strain of the plant, the part of the plant involved (for example, the leaves or the flowers), and the maturity of the plant. The THC content of plants used for hemp production, such as those that grow wild in the U.S. Midwest, may be negligible to zero; marijuana produced from plants known for high drug content, such as sensemilla, may contain 2 to 3 percent THC. Manicured plants, from which the leaves are carefully separated and only the new leaves used for drug effect, may contain 3 to 4 percent THC. Hashish, which represents the ultimate in manicuring, generally contains 4 to 8 percent THC. Alcoholic beverage control laws (ABC laws) were developed in the United States to prevent the illegal sale of alcohol. ABC laws are enforced by federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. Each state regulates where alcohol can be sold and where it can be consumed. Restaurants, convenience stores, grocery stores, and bars selling alcohol must have special licensing. A person must be twenty-one years old to purchase and consume alcohol. Buying alcohol for an underage drinker is illegal, even if the buyer is over twenty-one. Warning labels are required on all alcoholic beverages sold in the United States. These labels alert consumers to the possible dangers of alcohol use when pregnant, driving an automobile, or operating machinery. According to alcohol abuse statistics, recent chemical dependency research, and alcoholism statistics, more than forty percent of corporate CEOs who responded to a particular survey stated that the use and abuse of drugs and alcohol by employees costs the company between 1% to 10% of its annual payroll. Think about this for a moment. Up to 10% of a company's profits are lost each year due to alcohol and drug abuse. It is statistics on alcohol abuse and drug abuse like these that guarantee the increased implementation of drug and alcohol testing and screening in the U.S. workplace---a trend, by the way, that should continue for the foreseeable future. The illegal use of OxyContin, as well as other prescription drugs, has increased recently the 1999 NHSDA showed that approximately 9% of the U.S. population (19.9 million people) have used pain relievers illegally in their lifetime. An estimated 1.6 million Americans have used prescription type pain relievers non-medically for the first time in 1998. This represents a significant increase since the 1980's. |
Addict
An addict is an individual who has a compulsive urge to use drugs, to the point where they feel they have no effective choice but to continue use. An addict will continue their self destructive behaviors in order to feel good or to avoid
feeling bad. It can dominate their mind, and keep them coming back for more. The addiction can be
different for each addict, depending on their vice and the kind of person they
are.
Tolerance
Tolerance to a drug takes place when an individual is exposed to the same drug repeatedly and begins to build up an resistance to the drugs effects. The body then adapts and develops a tolerance for the drug. The addiction that is produced is so powerful that it creates cravings in the user. These cravings for the drug are the result of its impact on the individual's memory with feelings of pleasantness and euphoria which the individual has come to associate with the taking of the drug.
Addiction
Addiction is one of the many consequences of so-called 'casual' drug and alcohol abuse. A loss of control over drugs and alcohol can be driven by physical or psychological factors, or sometimes both. Physical addiction takes place when the body comes to need a drug to function normally. If it is not taken, unpleasant withdrawal symptoms occur. The only way to avoid this is to take more of the drug. Psychological addiction takes place when an individual comes to rely on a drug to supply good feelings, such as relaxation, self-confidence, self esteem, and freedom from anxiety. This is not just a casual desire, it's a powerful compulsion.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is a pattern of repeated drug taking that usually results in tolerance (the need for greater amounts of the drug to achieve the same effect), withdrawal (physical and cognitive effects when drug use declines or stops), and compulsive drug taking behavior (drug taking that persists despite efforts to reduce intake and despite problems with family, friends, and work). Drug addiction encompasses a diverse range of drugs (such as alcohol, cannabis, amphetamines, and cocaine) and is caused by many different factors.
Drug Overdose
A drug overdose occurs when you consume more drugs than your body can tolerate. Drug users are constantly flirting with the risk of a drug overdose. There is a
fine line between the high they're seeking and serious injury or death. While many victims of drug overdose recover without long term effects, there
can be serious consequences. Some drug overdoses cause the failure of major
organs like the kidneys or liver, or failure of whole systems like the
respiratory or circulatory systems. Patients who survive drug overdose may need
kidney dialysis, kidney or liver transplant, or ongoing care as a result of
heart failure, stroke, or coma. Death can occur in almost any drug overdose
situation, particularly if treatment is not started immediately.
