What is drug abuse ?
Physical & mental dependence,
Cause of drug abuse,
Route of administration,
Sign & symptoms of drug abuse,
How drug addiction occur,
Categories of drug abuse,
Various types of abused drug , their side effect & mechanism of action,
Prevention & control of drug abuse
Drug abuse is a common problem that is ruining not only the individuals but offering a global issue. People experiment with drugs for many different reasons. Many first try drugs out of curiosity, to have a good time, because friends are doing it, or in an effort to improve athletic performance or ease another problem, such as stress, anxiety, or depression. Use doesn't automatically lead to abuse, and there is no specific level at which drug use moves from casual to problematic. It varies by individual. Addiction is less about the amount of substance consumed or the frequency, and more to do with the consequences of drug use. No matter how often or how little you’re consuming, if your drug use is causing problems in your life, at work, school, home, or in your relationship, you likely have a drug abuse or addiction problem. And if you are having this problem you are actually in trouble.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

2. INTRODUCTION TO DRUGS
• Drug addiction is A chronic disease
affecting the brain, and just about
everyone is different.
• Drugs affect different people in
different ways. One person can take
and abuse drugs, yet never become
addicted, while another merely has
one experience and is immediately
hooked
2
3. INTRODUCTION TO DRUGS
• INTRODUCTION OF DRUG ADDICTION EXPLAINS AND IS CHARACTERIZED BY A
PERSON HAVING TO USE THE DRUG(S) REPEATEDLY, REGARDLESS OF THE
DAMAGE IT DOES TO;
- THEIR HEALTH
- THEIR FAMILY
- THEIR CAREER
- THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
FRIENDS AND THE COMMUNITY
3
4. WHAT IS ADDICTION?
• Addiction is not limited to drugs and
alcohol. People can be addicted to many
things, such as food, gambling, shopping, or
most anything that gets in the way of a
healthy lifestyle. When things get out of
hand, and people behave compulsively,
regardless of the consequences.
• When the person is no longer in charge of
their life, regardless of the triggering
mechanism, they are addicted. The
addiction can take over a person’s entire
life. Nothing else matters.
4
5. WHAT CAUSES DRUG ADDICTION?
• There are several factors and causes to consider with addiction. First there is a
genetic component, that is, what is passed on to you through your family.
• If your blood relatives had a predisposition to become addicted, chances are you
have that same tendency.
• Personality contributes to drug addiction.
• Peer pressure is huge, both for teenagers and adults alike.
5
7. STAGE 1
• CURIOSITY IS THE MOTIVATOR
• LEARNING TO TRUST/MISTRUST THE DRUG USED
• “HIGH” IS STILL A NEW FEELING
7
8. STAGE 2
• USER IS THINKING MORE ABOUT DRUGS
• PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIP BECOMES DIFFICULT
• USER USES WHEN ALONE
• USER STILL THINKS THEY HAVE CONTROL
8
9. STAGE 3
• SEEKS OUT THE “HIGH”
• HAS CONFIDENCE IN USING THE DRUG
• USER THINK THE DRUG WON’T HURT THEM
• PEER GROUP USES
9
10. STAGE 4
• CAN NO LONGER GET HIGH
• USER USES THE DRUG TO AVOID BEING
SICK
• DRUGS BECOME THE CENTER OF THEIR
LIFE
10
12. SIDE EFFECTS
• LOSS OF APPETITE
• HEADACHES
• ANXIETY
• ELEVATED BLOOD PRESSURE
• CHEST PAIN
• IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT
• COLD/BLUISH FINGERS
• DIFFICULTY IN URINATING
• CHANGES IN BODY
TEMPERATURE 12
13. CONSEQUENCES OF DRUG ADDICTION
Drugs are chemicals. Different drugs,
because of their chemical structures, can
affect the body in different ways. In fact,
some drugs can even change a person's
body and brain in ways that last long after the
person has stopped taking drugs, maybe
even permanently. 13
14. INJURIES
MORE DEATHS, ILLNESSES AND DISABILITIES STEM FROM SUBSTANCE ABUSE
THAN FROM ANY OTHER PREVENTABLE HEALTH CONDITION. TODAY, ONE IN
FOUR DEATHS IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO ILLICIT DRUG USE. PEOPLE WHO LIVE
WITH SUBSTANCE DEPENDENCE HAVE A HIGHER RISK OF ALL BAD OUTCOMES
INCLUDING UNINTENTIONAL INJURIES, ACCIDENTS, RISK OF DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE, MEDICAL PROBLEMS, AND DEATH.
14
15. HEALTH PROBLEMS
• Weaken the immune system, increasing susceptibility to
infections.
• Cause cardiovascular conditions ranging from abnormal
heart rate to heart attacks.
• Cause nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
• Cause the liver to have to work harder, possibly causing
significant damage or liver failure.
• Cause seizures, stroke and widespread brain damage
• Produce global body changes such as breast development
in men, dramatic fluctuations in appetite and increases in
body temperature, which may impact a variety of health
conditions.
15
16. EFFECT ON THE BRAIN
• All drugs of abuse - nicotine, cocaine,
marijuana, and others - effect the brain's
"reward" circuit, which is part of the limbic
system.
• Drugs hijack this "reward" system, causing
unusually large amounts of dopamine to flood
the system.
• This flood of dopamine is what causes the
"high" or euphoria associated with drug
abuse.
16
18. BIRTH DEFECTS
• These and other illicit drugs may pose various risks for pregnant women and their babies.
Some of these drugs can cause a baby to be born too small or too soon, or to have
withdrawal symptoms, birth defects or learning and behavioral problems.
• Pregnant women who use illicit drugs may engage in other unhealthy behaviors that
place their pregnancy at risk, such as having extremely poor nutrition or developing
sexually transmitted infections.
18
19. PAKISTAN DEALING WITH DRUG ADDICTION
Widespread drug abuse may be indicated by
the fact that almost five percent of the adult
population is using drugs in Pakistan. As a
proportion of drug abusers, heroin users
have increased from 7.5 percent in 1983 to a
shocking 51 percent a decade later in 1993.
19
21. UNITED NATION FIGHTING DRUG ABUSE
Pakistan is not alone in fighting this disease.
With the
globalization of the drug abuse problem in
the last two decades, the situation has gone
from bad to worse, so much so that the
united nations commission on narcotic drugs
no longer discusses individual situations. It
has argued that the solution does not lie in
the hands of individual countries. It has to be
worked out through mutual efforts by south
Asian countries.
21
22. OVERCOMING DRUG ADDICTION
Decide to make a change:
• The way you deal with stress
• Who you allow in your life
• What you do in your free time
• How you think about yourself
22

• Build a sober social network
• Consider moving into a sober living home
• Make meetings a priority
• Make break with old drug buddies
• Avoid bars and clubs
• Use caution with prescription drugs
23
24. COPING WITH DRUG CRAVINGS

• Urge surf
• Challenge and change your thoughts
24
25. BUILD A MEANINGFUL DRUG FREE LIFE
