2. Drug
Drug is define as natural or synthetic substance or mixture of substances which are used in prevention of diagnosis or treatment and cure of dieses in men, animal and other living organism.
The main types drugs is natural and other one is synthetic.

3. Synthetic drugs
Synthetic drugs are chemically laced substances similar to marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine that are sold over the counter at some convenience stores, gas stations and tobacco shops.
Based on their chemical make-up, these drugs are commonly divided into two categories:
Cannabinoids
Popularly known as K2 or Spice, cannabinoids are chemically formulated versions of synthetic marijuana that consist of lab-manufactured THC.
Cathinones
Often known as “bath salts”, cathinones contain chemical compounds that mimic the effects of cocaine or meth.

4. Synthetic Cannabinoids
Contain dried, shredded plant material.
“Spice” is sprayed onto the plant material.
Also known as “K2”, “Yucatan Fire”, “sence”, amongst others.
Cheap, easy to purchase, and legal.

5. Synthetic Cannabinoids
Street Names K2
SPICE
Chronic
Herbal Incense
Genie

6. Side Effects of Synthetic Cannabinoids
Mild
Nausea, vomiting, paranoia, hyperactivity, ABD pain/cramps, and hallucinations
Severe
seizures, hypertermia especially when used with alcohol

7. Synthetic Canthinones
Also called “bath salts”
Amphtetamine analogues found in the leaf of the khat plant
Illegal in the U.S. because canthinones are schedule I drugs

8. BATH SALTS ACTIVE Compound(s) Effects: Mephedrone
The active compound(s) contained in “Bath Salts” are:
Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV)
Mephedrone
Both are synthetic stimulants and fall into the
AMPHETAMINE class of Narcotics.
Effects:
The effects are similar to that of cocaine, amphetamines, and ecstasy (MDMA). 8 6

9. Cathinones
Bath salts are water-soluble, pulverized minerals that are added to water to be used for bathing. They are said to improve cleaning, enhance the enjoyment of bathing, and serve as a vehicle for cosmetic agents

10. Kratom A naturally occuring drug that is abused recreationally
Also known as “biak-biak” or “Thom”
Frequent cannabinoid substitute in “spice”

11. Kratom Use Used by chewing, smoking , or drinking as tea
Effects are dose dependent
Small doses act as a stimulant
Larger does create opioid like sedation
Effects begin in minutes and can last 90 minutes or more .

12. Kratom Abuse “4x100” acts like an alcohol substitute
Mixture of kratom, caffeine, cough syrup w/ codeine, benadryl, and either an anxiolytics, analgesics, or antidepressants
Deaths have been attributed when mixed with a benzodiazepines and propylhexadrine (nasal decongestant)

13. Abusing the Drug When smoked, the high can last 2-3 hours
Often mixed with other drugs such as ketamine or kratom
Also mixed with vitamin E and clenbuterol, a sympathomimetic
This mixture worsens the adrenergic effects including hypertension, tachycardia, and potential for MI.

14. EFFECT ON HUMAN These synthetic chemicals negatively affect:
Short-term memory
Motivation
Reasoning ability
Emotional stability
Learning
Stamina
