i have a mini-assignment on drugs.

I've looked on the net for the answers but could anyone help me out here?

Q7b. What does heroin and cocaine actually do to you?

Q11. Can you get 'stoned' from eating marijuana?

fair deal, just looking for some assignment help, nothing criminal!

Thanks in advance.
 
Taking heroin is an experience I am saving for the last few days of my life. Therefore, I'm unable to relate any personal experience of actually taking it.

I have been in the company of people who have taken the drug and they report that it's like seeing god. That may be what they see, but to an outsider, it appears users have a hit or snort, or whatever, and are in an almost-immediately altered state. Their reactions slow, sometimes to the extent of being comatose.

Depending on how often they have used previously and on the strength of the drug, there is often uncontrolled vomiting, though this doesn't usually last long. The next step is usually to fall asleep.

I don't know what it's like now, but in the 60s, the reason, as I saw it, that addicts introduce others to this drug, is because they feel lonely, in this altered state, and they want people around them who understand what they are going through.

Marijuana is usually eaten in the form of hash cookies. This is the extracted resin of the plant, made up, with other ingredients, into biscuits. Taken in this form, the drug can have longer-lasting effects. This method of ingestion also makes it unneccesary to smoke the drug, which is a health bonus.

Got so caught up with the others, I forgot coke. Have taken this drug. Initially the most fantastic, in every sense of the word, experience. You feel no pain. Very difficult to get a grip on what's REALLY going on around you. Provides an ecstatic feeling, which lasts for about twenty minutes.

Maybe it's the pain-killing qualities that make these drugs so immediately attractive. Just for a short while, there is no pain.

In the case of cocaine, the lack of pain lasts about twenty minutes. This is followed by the most abysmal, inconsolable depression, which, it seems, can only be relieved by more of the same. This is why this is such a dangerous drug.

I think it was Bill Coasby who said, "Cocaine is God's way of telling you you have too much money."
 
I can't talk about cocaine as I don't have any friends who take it, but with heroin my friends who took or take it, turn into liars, who will steal from their family for their next fix, plus they can die if they get a stronger mix than they are used to.

You actually get stoned quicker & the affects last longer if you eat marijhuana.

Snorting cocaine will produce effects within a minue. Smoking freebase cocaine produces effects almost immediately...often before exhaling. Injected cocaine also produces effects within a few seconds

The effects of snorted cocaine are quite short with the primary high lasting only 20-40 minutes. This is one of the reasons leading to problems with addiction. As the effects wear off, more is often snorted. This pattern of repeated use can quickly move in the direction of addiction. A hit of smoked Crack (freebase cocaine) will typically produce effects lasting 5-15 minutes

As with many substanecs, the effects of cocaine depend greatly on the person and the dose. Possible effects include feelings of well-being, decreased appetite, stimulation, sexual arousal, and increased focus.

Pethadeine, love that stuff, almost makes having an operation something to look forward too. :D
 
Heroin is different to cocaine.

Coke provides this feeling of invincibility but also exagerrates the senses especially for sex, which is what many celebraties take it for.

Heroin provides a different sor t of rush. Heroin provides a sensation where you are without worry and invincible the feeling will last up to 30 min depending on the quality of it. The high takes the person to almost an out of body experience where the mind is free from worry and imagination takes hold. The depression which follows is sharper and deeper than that of cocaine or other recreational drugs. Once taken a few times the high is there but the depression gets deeper and becomes painful and the only way to relieve it is with another release. Steer well fvcking clear of it.

Heroin and cocaine are psychoactive drugs and affect your central nervous system. Heroin is a depressant and Cocaine is a stimulant.

Q11. Gime a 'hell yeah!'
 
Never had either, don't want to.

I'm scared of needles at the best of times. Why anyone would want to stick a needle into their arm for pleasure is beyond me.

Go to the web site Macca said. It's the best on the net for that info.

From personal experience Cocaine is basically like having one seriously, seriously great cup of coffee. As stated, it does cause some physical numbness. It makes you feel like you can take on the world, but it doesn't have the same agressive tendencies that you would get from other stimulants such as speed IMO.

Very expensive drug here in OZ and its short life span (as opposed to MDMA/Ecstacy) and the desire for continued use make it an option for the stupidly rich. As with all drugs, it is addictive, but moreso!

Dope can be eaten. I hate the stuff! Highly underrated (I mean in terms of harm) drug IMO.

I will only ever subject myself to an opiate if I am advised by a doctor.

I thought it was Robin Williams, he had a coke habit for years.
A great quote nevertheless ;)

Dumb, nieve statement! Drug addicts do not stick needles in their arm for pleasure. Drug addicts take drugs for pleasure and using a needle is by far the most effective method. Do you understand?

As it happens, a lot of people use marijuana to ameliorate pain. It is also used in the treatment of cancer patients, as an appetite stimulant, for when they have no interest in food, but need to eat to sustain life longer.

Further to your comments about sleeping and vomiting on smack, my favourite sight on the streets is the sixteen year-old on the make with her twelve month baby, trying to score. What a good look the fourteen year-olds selling their bodies in St Kilda at three o'clock in the morning. Probably the drugs most endearing characteristic is the sparkling conversations you can have with people who have the 'noddies'. Makes for a rivetting train journey, with half the carriage smacked off its face.
 
The heroin molecule (diacetymorphine) attaches itself to the opiate receptor sites in your brain. This sends a signal to various other regions - the brain stem, and the higher centers. The subjective experience of this is two-fold. The initial rush from the high/center stimulation, and CNS depression from the brain stem.

The CNS depression results in decreased heart & respiratory rate. The user becomes less alert, resistant to pain.

Mooster's Heroin OD Story: A few years ago, heroin started becoming big in the KC area. As a result, we ran a lot of overdose calls. I had one where the guy was about 30 seconds from dead. He had stopped breathing, but still had a pulse. Dropped a tube in his throat, started an IV and pushed an interferon. The interferon is a molecule similar to heroin, but competes with it at the opiate sites much in the same way carbon monoxide will "push" oxygen away from red blood cell carriers. It works pretty much immediately. So I'm in the back of the ambulance with this schmuck when I push the drug. He goes from circling the drain to being very agitated/very alive. He jumps off my cot, pulls the tube out, starts beating me with the tube while screaming, "You tried to kill me!" I said, "No, you tried to kill yourself my friend." He jumped out the back of the ambulance and went walking down the street. I never saw him again.

Cocaine stimulates most areas of the brain. The brain stem is one of these areas which accounts for the increased respiratory & cardiac rates. Users feel euphoric and energetic (because of the all-round metabolic increase) New users feel more mentally alert while high. Chronic users just become restless and excitable - talkative to boot. To me, they are simply annoying. There isn't a magic drug to stop a cocaine overdose.

Moosters Coke OD story: This was also a few years ago at Christmas time. We got a call to respond on a residence where an elderly male was having chest pain. The guy had a heart history, but wasn't doing to bad. The guys 25 year old daughter was freaking out. I kept telling her to calm down and shut up because her father was fine. She kept runnin off to the bedroom. Each time she came back she was even more loopy than before. She wouldn't calm down. After a shot of nitro, the old guy felt fine. He looked good on the cardiac monitor, and he refused care. We got ready to leave, and the 25 year old daughter dropped dead from a cocaine overdose - right in front of us. Apparently, she had spent her X-mas money on a few grams of coke. She had been snorting it all day. While we were there treating her father, she kept going back to her bedroom to do another line. Dead of a heart attack. Ironic, eh?
