psylocybin, phenicyclidine (PCP)
Ex 1: Marijuana
 Commonly called “grass”, “damo”, “tsongki” “ganja”,
“bhang”
 Botanical name is cannabis satival L
 Has three major components:
1) Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – purple; the most active
alkaloid; the one causing the hallucinogenic effect
2) Cannabinol – red (physiologically inactive)
3) Cannabidol – pink (physiologically inactive)
Legal definition of marijuana

1.NARCOTICS
 In its medical meaning refer to opium and opium
derivatives or synthetic substitutes
 Drugs that relieve pain and often induce sleep
Kinds of Narcotics:
1)Narcotics of natural origin – produced directly from the poppy
plant. Examples are: Opium, Morphine, Codeine and Thebaine)
Ex 1: OPIUM
• Derived from the plant opium poppy, botanical name is
papaver somniferum
• Papaver is Greek for poppy, somniferum is Latin for “ to
dream or induce sleep”
• Originally intended for medicinal purposes
• Opium poppy grows from 2 to 5 feet with flowers of
different colors
• Raw opium is obtained by making incision either vertically
or horizontally which allows the milky juice to seep from
the plant
• Raw opium is then formed into balls or chunks and shipped
to a laboratory for cooking
• Raw opium is then refined into morphine
Ex 2: MORPHINE
• A derivative of opium
• Comes from the name of Greek god of dreams, “
Morpheus”
• Most effective drug to relief pain. Its legal use is restricted
in hospitals.
• It is odourless, tasteless and darkens with age
• Approximate 10 kilograms of raw opium will produce 1
kilogram of morphine
• Addicts administer it intravenously, but can be smoked or
taken orally
• Both physical and psychological dependence is rated high
Ex 3: CODEINE
• The chemical compound derive from morphine
• It produces less analgesic, sedation and respiratory
depression than morphine.
Comes from two forms:
1. Tablets (aspirin)
2. Liquid (Rubitussin AC and Cheracon)
Ex 4: THEBAINE
• principal alkaloid present in a specie of poppy. By it self
it is not used medically, but it is converted into a
variety of medically important compounds including
codeine
2) Semi-synthetic Narcotics – Synthesized from narcotics of
natural origin. Examples are: Heroin, Hydromorphone and
Oxycodone
Ex 1: HEROIN
• The chemical compound derived from morphine
• Chemical name is diacetylmorphine
• Pure heroin is white powder with a bitter taste
• Method of administering are injected, sniffed or smoked
Ex 2: HYDROMORPHONE
• Commonly known as Dilaudid
• It is about eight (8) times as potent as morphine and is
sought after by drug addicts
Ex 3: OXYCODONE
• It is synthesized from thebaine
• More potent than codeine
3) Synthetic Narcotics – produced entirely in the laboratory.
Examples are: Meperidine, Methadone,and Pentazocine (Talwin)
Ex 1: MEPERIDINE
• The first synthetic narcotic produced a generation ago.
• It is chemically different from morphine but resembles its
pain killing effect.
• It is used for the relief of moderate to severe pain
Ex 2: METHADONE
• German scientists synthesized Methadone during
World War II because of the shortage of Morphine
• Although chemically unlike Morphine and Heroin, it
produces many of the same effects as pain killer
• Also used as a treatment of narcotic addict
Danger of Narcotic Abuse:
1)Narcotic Abusers neglect themselves and usually suffer from
malnutrition, infections, diseases and injuries.
2)The body of the abuser is prone to toxic reactions due to
impurities in the narcotic
3)Fatal infections can be readily transmitted to the abuser’s
body.
Effects of the use of Narcotics:
1)Pen point pupils (sharp vision)
2)Drowsiness (sleepy)

3) Convulsions
4) Possible death
DEPRESSANTS/SEDATIVES
 Drugs which decrease body functions and nerve activities
 Also called “downers” which are drugs that act on the
nervous systems promoting relaxation and sleep.
 Used in excessive amounts, depressants induce a state of
intoxication similar to that of alcohol
 Intoxication doses result in impaired judgement,
disorientation, slurred (unclear) speech, drunken
behaviour without the odor of alcohol, and loss of motor
coordination.
Examples are: barbiturates, methaqualone, meprobamate and
benzodiazepines
Ex 1: BARBITURATES
• Prescribed to induce sedation and sleep (Sleeping pills)
• small dosage tends to calm down nervous conditions
• Larger dosage can cause sleep twenty to sixty minutes
after taking it orally
• An overdose of barbiturates may progress through stages
of sedation, sleep and comatose to death from respiratory
arrest to cardiovascular complications
• Can produced both physical and psychological
dependence
• Classified as:
1) Ultra Short-Acting (Hexobarbital)
2) Intermediate-Acting (Secobarbital/Seconal)
3) Short-Acting (Pentobarbital/Nembutal)
4) Long-Acting (Methobarbital/Mebaral)
(Phenobarbital/Luminal)
• Barbiturate are abused in two ways:
1) The user of the drug had developed a tolerance to
the drug thus increasing dosage; and
2) The user of the drug had developed a tolerance to the
drug thus increasing dosage; and For added thrill, barbiturate
is injected as a substitute to other drugs being abused,
especially Amphetamines.
Ex 2: METHAQUALONE
• A synthetic sedative which has been widely abused and
often cause serious poisoning
• It is taken orally and is rapidly absorbed in the digestive
tract
• Large doses can cause comatose accompanied by
convulsion
• Heavy use of this drug leads to tolerance and dependence
• It is known in the US as Qualude, Parest, Mequin,
Optimol, Somnafac and Sofor
• Its European equivalent is Mandrax
• It is widely-abused because it was once mistaken taught
of to be non-addictive and very effective as aphrodisiac
Ex 3: MEPROBAMATE
• A muscle reluctant prescribed mainly for the relief of
anxiety tension and muscle spasms
• First synthesized in 1950 and introduced as mild
tranquilizers (i.e.: Miltown and Equanil)
Ex 4: BENZODIAZEPINES
• Relieve anxiety, tension and muscle spasms as well as
producing sedation and preventing convulsions
• Have slow onset but have long duration of action
• To obtain “high”, they are taken with marijuana or alcohol
i.e.: Diazepam (Valium); Lorazepam (Ativan) and
Chlordiazepoxide (Librium)
Valium and Librium are widely prescribed in the
Philippines
EFFECTS OF DEPRESSANTS

• The one responsible for the planting, harvesting and
maintenance of the original plant from which the drug
is derive from .
• The source of crops or contact to other sources from
whom crops can be obtained.
• Sees to it that the plant produced in the highest
quality possible in sufficient quantity.
2. THE MANUFACTURER
• The one responsible for the processing of the raw
materials supplied by the grower
• Maintains a manufacturing laboratory
• The one who makes contact or is contacted so that the
distribution can begin
3. THE IMPORTER
• The client or contact of the manufacturer
• The primary seller of the drugs
• The importer devices the plan or procedure by which the
now-refined drug will reach its destination, whether that
be another country, state or other geographical area.
4. THE SMUGGLER
• Has the task of smuggling the drugs into the designated
area
• Must device techniques by which the drugs evade the
scrutiny of inspection
5. THE DISTRIBUTOR
• The source of drugs in their respective areas
• The smuggler has different distributors in different
geographical areas
6. THE DEALER
• Most commonly called “PUSHERS”
• They make drugs easily available to users
• Some dealers are satisfied with selling drugs to already
known addicts, while some engage in addicting new
customers

DRUG CARTELS
CARTEL – an association of businesses in international
monopoly.
MEDELLIN CARTEL - Established in 1970’s in Medellin,
Columbia
Its key members were:
Pablo Escobar – the leader of Medellin Cartel; a common street
thief who mastermined the criminal enterprise.
Jose Gonzalo Rodriguez Gacha – had prior illegal movement in
the emerald trade
Jorge Ochoa, Fabio Ochoa and Juan David Ochoa – belong to a
well-respected ranching family
Carlos Lehder – marijuana smuggler who owned land properties
and air strip in Norman’s clay
Norman’s clay is a small island in Bahamas
- Lehder built a runway for the small airplanes
that were used in transporting illegal drugs to the US; the r
unway was protected from radar
- The island became the stop-over and re-
fuelling hubs for the planes transporting illegal drugs
Its operations started to deteriorate when it started
getting violent due to Escobar’s power-hungry activities
against the Columbian government. Eventually, both Pablo
Escobar and Rodriguez Gacha were gunned down by the
Columbian Police, while the Ochoa brothers turned
themselves in exchange for lenient prison terms. The
Medellin Cartel was neutralized in the early 1990’s
CALI CARTEL- Established in 1970’s in Cali, Columbia
Its key members were:
1.Gilberto Rodriguez OrejuelaM
2.iguel Rodriguez Orejuela
3. Santacruz Londono
They conducted their operations quietly, reinvesting their profits
in legitimate businesses. As rivals of the Medellin Cartel, they
secretly supplied information against Escobar to the Columbian
Police. In the mid-1990’s, the leaders were arrested and are
currently serving prison terms however, it is believed that
operations are still going on
GOLDEN CRESCENT (Middle East)
 Composed of Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan
 One of the world’s biggest sources of opium
 The geographical location is conducive to growing opium
poppies
 The fields are said to be protected by the Taloban
Afghanistan
GOLDEN TRIANGLE (South East Asia)
Composed of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos
• World’s leading producer of heroin
• The geographical location of said countries are conducive
to growing crops
• The fields cover a vast area impossible to monitor
completely
• Poor farmers choose to plant opium poppies because it is
more lucrative
• The fields are said to be protected by the rebel groups,
especially in Myanmar
FIRST IMPORTANT DRUG TRAFFIC ROUTE
Middle East – discovery, plantation, cultivation and harvest
(Grower)
Turkey – operation for distribution (Distributor)
Europe – manufacture, refine and synthesis (Manufacturer)
US – marketing (Dealer/Pusher)
“IF YOU KNOW THE ENEMY AND KNOW
YOURSELF, YOU NEED NOT FEAR THE
RESULT OF A HUNDRED BATTLES. IF YOU
KNOW YOURSELF BUT NOT THE ENEMY,
FOR EVERY VICTORY GAINED YOU WILL
SUFFER A DEFEAT. IF YOU KNOW NEITHER
THE ENEMY NOR YOURSELF, YOU WILL
