Depressants Depresses the central nervous systems by slowing down most body functions. Induces sleep, slows breathing, slows muscular coordination, speech, movement, and manual dexterity. All depressants are physically addictive Types of depressants: alcohol, tranquilizers (valium, xanax)

Inhalants Chemicals that produce vapors that, when inhaled, can cause hallucinations and create intoxicating and euphoric effects. Rubber cement, model glue, paint thinner, lighter fluid, varnish, ax, spot removers, and gasoline Amyl Nitrite (poppers, rush) and Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas)

Chronic use damages the brain’s ability to think and regulate emotion, memory, sleep and pain.

Heroin Epidemic: How is Heroin so Harmful? Heroin is an illegal, highly addictive opioid drug. A heroin overdose can cause slow and shallow breathing, coma, and death. People often use heroin along with other drugs or alcohol. This practice is especially dangerous because it increases the risk of overdose. Heroin is typically injected but is also smoked or snorted. When people inject heroin, they are at risk of serious, long-term viral infections such as HIV, Hepatitis C, and Hepatitis B, as well as bacterial infections of the skin, bloodstream, and heart

Heroin Epidemic As heroin use has increased, so have heroin-related overdose deaths. Between 2002 and 2013, the rate of heroin-related overdose deaths nearly quadrupled, and more than 8,200 people died in 2013. Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0U7tus2POo
