Facts
Rohypnol's physical appearance. It almost always comes in the form of a pill, though sometimes it's just in powder form. It has no odor. The powder is frequently mixed with a drink, or even put in someone's drink without them knowing. A particular formula is available that fizzes and turns blue when it's dropped into a liquid, but most rohypnol doesn't. Although most people use prescription medications responsibly, the nonmedical use of prescription drugs is a serious public health concern in the United States. According to the 2000 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse, an estimated 14 million Americans were current illicit drug users—6.3% of the population 12 years old and older. Although marijuana was the most commonly used illicit drug (used by 76% of current illicit drug users), about 41% of current illicit drug users in 2000 (an estimated 5.7 million Americans) used illicit drugs other than, or in addition to, marijuana and hashish. Of the 5.7 million users of illicit drugs other than marijuana, 3.8 million used psychotherapeutic drugs nonmedically. Psychotherapeutics include pain relievers (2.8 million users), tranquilizers (1 million users), stimulants (0.8 million users), and sedatives (0.2 million users). The effects of freebasing cocaine are similar to those that can be achieved by injecting or .slamming. cocaine hydrochloride, but without the risks associated with intravenous drug use (though there are other serious risks associated with smoking freebase). Because of increasing controls on the prescribing and marketing of amphetamine, the clandestine manufacture of methamphetamine became more widespread. The availability of illicitly synthesized methamphetamine varied greatly during the 1970s and 1980s. Analyses of street samples of drugs purported to be methamphetamine revealed that until 1974, specimens were on average less than 30 percent methamphetamine. From 1975 through 1983 the composition of methamphetamine in samples increased from 60 to over 95 percent. For the street samples submitted as stimulants, including those submitted as amphetamine, methamphetamine, orspeed, methamphetamine made up a relatively small percentage between 1972 and 1979, but increased to approximately 60 percent in 1983. These data demonstrate the increasing predominance of methamphetamine in the speed market during this time period. Prior to the increase in quality of street speed, the products sold as meth-amphetamine orspeed were usually a combination of phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride, ephedrine, and caffeine and referred to as "look-alike" speed. The term referred to the similarity of appearance of these drugs and of central nervous system effects. Other constituents also found in products purported to be speed included pseudoephedrine and cocaine. |
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.

Although baffling to friends and family members such people generally either aren't aware on a conscious level that they have a drug addiction problem, or even when they know they have a problem they may cling to the false belief that the problem will somehow go away without any outside help.

for the addict. Most people struggling with the problem of drug or alcohol
addiction will accept help the very day of the intervention.
