Facts
MDMA powder, usually the hydrochloride, is often simply called 'crystal' or 'molly', and 'mandy', and in the UK 'Muds', 'Mud' or 'madman' (a play on words- MaDMAn), a mutation of 'madman' 'mandy', and 'MD'. This powder is produced in MDMA labs and provided to the pill-manufacturers to press the tablets at a different place. In many parts of the world the usage of plain MDMA powder instead of pills is popular. One of the reasons for this might be the control over dosage and purity. MDMA is very rarely cut, for its taste is so strong, distinctive and (many would argue) unpleasant that it would be very easy for a user to tell if it were impure. Dealers are more likely to simply sell an amount that is smaller than they claim. When pressed into pill tablets, MDMA powder is always mixed with pill binders because pure MDMA cannot be pressed. Powder or crystal MDMA can be snorted, which makes the effect begin and end quicker. Some users claim that snorting it results in a more intense effect. Snorting however is painful compared to drugs such as cocaine and ketamine, and many users prefer oral administration either by applying a 'dab' to the tongue and washing it down with water, or mixing it into a drink. Some people also 'bomb' pure MDMA, whereby a dose is wrapped in cigarette papers and then swallowed. This is the preferred method of ingestion for many users as the taste is quite unpleasant and can be exacerbated by the heightened sense of taste which can be a feature of MDMA use. Over the last ten years, cocaine, chemically altered into the form of crack, has become easily available to young people. Crack cocaine is sold in chunks or rocks for as little as five dollars for a small vial full. It is a smokable, less expensive, and more potent form of cocaine. Its effects reach the brain in just a few seconds. The user feels like crack is as vital to survival as air, food, and water. Between 1994 and 1995 cocaine/crack use among teenagers increased 166 percent with 7.1 percent of high school seniors and 6.5 percent of sophomores using it. According to information from crackcocaineaddiction.com, 44 percent of adolescent cocaine/crack users have sold drugs to support their habit, 31 percent have stolen from friends and family, and 14 percent have attempted suicide. Both forms of the drug increase blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, and body temperature, and can cause respiratory failure, permanent damage to liver and lungs, collapse of the nasal septum (if snorted), hallucinations, paranoia, violent mood swings, the sensation of bugs crawling on the skin (known as coke bugs), and brain seizures. Cocaine destroys the brain's ability to regulate In the 2004 Monitoring the Future study, 16.3 percent of eighth graders, 35.1 percent of tenth graders, and 45.7 percent of twelfth graders reported using marijuana at least once. And despite major efforts to find and punish dealers, 73.3 percent of tenth graders and 85.8 percent of twelfth graders noted that marijuana is "fairly easy" or "very easy" to obtain. Clearly, it is nearly impossible to pass through high school without meeting at least one person who uses or sells marijuana. According to common sense perception, drug traffickers in Mexico have become so powerful that they have "penetrated" the protective shield of official institutions whose purpose is to fight them. Historical research in the Mexican case does not support the assumption of two separate fields: drug trafficking and its agents, on one side, and the State on the other. Moreover, since the beginning of prohibition, the illegal trade appeared related to powerful political agents in the production and trafficking regions. Cultivators and wholesale smugglers were not autonomous players; their success depended on political protection. They did not buy politicians; rather, politicians obliged them to pay a sort of "tax". If they did'nt pay, their business was over. The power was on the political side. Politicians decided who, when, where and how. Drug trafficking was supported from within the power structure. How could drug traffickers have penetrated a political structure that created and protected them, a political structure they were subordinated to? They were its creatures. |
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.
Dependence
Dependence is the compulsive use of a substance despite negative consequences which can be severe; drug dependence is simply excessive use of a drug or use of a drug for purposes for which it was not medically intended. Physical dependence on a substance (needing a drug to function) is not necessary or sufficient to define addiction. There are some substances that don't cause addiction but do cause physical dependence (for example, some blood pressure medications) and substances that cause addiction but not classic physical dependence (cocaine withdrawal, for example, it does not have symptoms like vomiting and chills; it is mainly characterized by depression).
Detox
Detox is necessary when an individual through their chronic use of drugs or alcohol has developed an addiction. The objective of detox is to help the individual achieve a drug and alcohol free state. Detox is intended to relieve the physical symptoms of withdrawal and helps prepare the individual for entry into drug rehabilitation. Therefore, the ultimate goal of detox is preparation for long term recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
Sobriety
Sobriety means the moderation in or abstinence from consumption of alcoholic liquor or use of drugs. When an individual with an addiction problem enters drug rehabilitation, their main goal is to attain long term sobriety. Unfortunately, sometimes drug addicts and alcoholics find they are able to sustain short periods of sobriety followed by a drug or alcohol relapse. This is why attending a drug or alcohol rehab will help the individual maintain their focus on sobriety. Often, it is only by getting help that individuals with severe drug addiction problems are able to achieve lasting sobriety.
Addiction Treatment
Addiction treatment is needed when an individual finds that they have developed a drug or alcohol addiction which they are not able to successful end on their own. With the help of addiction treatment, addicted individual can get help to control their drug taking behavior and live happy and successful lives. There are several addiction treatment options available for drug and alcohol addiction. Some of these options include self-help groups, counseling, drug rehabilitation programs (in and out-patient), and residential treatment facilities. Each of these differ
in their aims and outcomes and elements of these addiction treatment options are often
combined.
