#drug Addiction #drug Abuse #overcome addiction
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.

Drug abuse and society drug presentations: Spring 2013Brian Piper
This presentation is on recreational drugs as part of a elective course for 2nd and 3rd year pharmacy students. The instructions were to include what is known about history, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics including common routes of administration, overdose potential, and recent epidemiology.
The class chose some older agents (peyote, LSD, mushrooms, cocaine), others that have only become more popular recently (bath sats, synthetic cannabinoids), and some medical drugs (methylphenidate, oxycontin).
There are many myths surrounding drug addiction, such as 'all drug users are addicts' or 'only hard drugs are dangerous'. In this slideshow, we bust these myths and provide the truth around drug addiction.
