4. LEARNING OBJECTIVE
Identify controlled substances using laboratory procedures such as spectroscopy.

5. spectrophotometry
Spectrophotometry (aka spectroscopy) is a way to identify substances by exposing them to electromagnetic radiation (light)

6. spectrophotometry
Light is given off when electrons jump from one place to another within an atom.

7. spectrophotometry
Since each atom has a unique arrangement of electrons, each atom emits a unique mixture of different colored lights.

8. I expect you to refrain from talking or asking about personal experiences involving drugs.

9. AGENDA FOR TODAY DO NOW: spectroscopy short video.
Spectroscopy lab – one packet for you and your learning partner.
Do the lab // Put away supplies.
Formative blog post.
Direct teach: drug “scheduling” laws.
Article: why is marijuana a schedule I drug?
Socratic seminar.

10. FORMATIVE BLOG POST: 1. Post a picture of one spectrum that you drew in your packet Write a short paragraph that explains what spectroscopy is AND why it is important. ***You can link to your learning partner’s blog post if you want.

11. Learning objective
Explain the Drug Enforcement Administration / Controlled Substances Act drug scheduling system.

12. SUMMATIVE QUIZ NEXT CLASS!
Concepts on the quiz:
FDA drug categories (hallucinogens, depressants, stimulants, narcotics, anabolic steroids)
Color change tests – who poisoned the chili?
Chromatography – who stole my dog?
Spectroscopy – today…
DEA drug schedules (we will learn this next).

13. Drug Control Laws
There are varying levels and penalties based on manufacture, distribution, possession, or use of a drug, as well as the drug’s weight, type, and concentration
The Controlled Substances Act – the federal law that establishes five classifications of controlled dangerous substances on the basis of a drug’s potential abuse, potential for physical and psychological dependence, and medical value; the U.S. Attorney General has the authority to add, delete, or reschedule a drug as needed

14. Drug Control Laws (continued)
Schedule I
High potential for abuse and no currently accepted medical use in the U.S.
Examples: heroin, marijuana, methaqualone, LSD

15. Drug Control Laws (continued)
Schedule II
High potential for abuse, currently accepted medical use with severe restrictions, potential for severe physiological and psychological dependence
Examples: opium and its derivatives, cocaine, methadone, PCP, most amphetamine preparations, most barbiturate preparations, and dronabinol (the synthetic equivalent of marijuana, prescribed for medical use)

16. Drug Control Laws (continued)
Schedule III
Less potential for abuse, currently accepted medical use, potential for low to moderate physiological and high psychological dependence
All barbiturates not included in Schedule II, such as codeine preparations and anabolic steroids

17. Drug Control Laws (continued)
Schedule IV
Low potential for abuse, current medical use, limited dependence related to Schedule III
Examples: tranquilizers

18. Drug Control Laws (continued)
Schedule V
Low abuse, medical use, less potential for dependence than Schedule IV
Non-narcotic medicinal ingredients and some opiate drug mixtures

19. Drug Control Laws (continued)
Criminal Penalties Under the Act
The most severe penalties are associated with Schedule I and II
The Controlled Substance Act controls substances such as analogs and designer drugs that are chemically similar or related to controlled substances
Regulates the manufacture and distribution of precursors which are the chemical compounds used by clandestine labs to synthesize drugs

20. ARTICLE
WHY IS MARIJUANA A SCHEDULE I DRUG? Read (8 minutes), write 2 socratic seminar questions.

21. Choose your own learning partners
Choose your own learning partners! or less people per table - Sit at a regular table, not a lab table DO NOW: 2 minutes to discuss with your table A man is returning from Oklahoma by train. He was in a train car where smoking was allowed. If he had been in a non-smoking car, he would have died. WHY?

22. An Answer: The man used to be blind -- he's returning from an eye operation which restored his sight. He spent all his money on the operation, so when the train (which had no internal lighting) goes through a tunnel, he thinks he's gone blind again and decides to kill himself. But before he could do it, he saw the light of the cigarettes people were smoking and realized he could still see.
