Salvia is a perennial herb native to Oaxaca, Mexico that contains the psychoactive compound salvinorin A. It is commonly chewed, drank, or smoked for its brief hallucinogenic effects lasting 1-30 minutes. While salvia is legal in some states and countries, 21 U.S. states have passed laws regulating or controlling its use due to lack of research on its physical and psychological effects. More research is needed to understand salvia's effects on the brain and potential risks.

Salvia powerpoint
Salvia is a hallucinogenic herb in the mint family that can produce hallucinogenic experiences when smoked, chewed, or consumed as an extract. Effects depend on dosage and method of ingestion, and can range from subtle to extremely strong, lasting up to 120 minutes. The "trip" involves changes in visual perception, mood, and sense of self and reality. Long-term use and addiction risks are unknown due to lack of studies. While overdose is unlikely, safety risks include loss of awareness and potential for self-harm. Debate exists around legal regulation until more is understood about long-term impacts and appropriate use guidelines.
SA 101 What is addiction
Addiction is characterized as a chronic disease involving dysfunctions in the brain's reward system that compels pathological pursuing of reward and relief through substance use and other behaviors. It is characterized by an inability to abstain consistently, impaired control over behaviors, craving, diminished awareness of problems, and dysfunctional emotional responses. Without treatment, addiction progresses and can result in disability or death. It involves cognitive changes like preoccupation with substance use and distorted perceptions of use, as well as emotional changes like increased anxiety and sensitivity to stress. Relapse can involve a return to addictive behaviors for extended periods, while slip-ups involve brief usage. The DSM-5 is used to diagnose and classify addiction and its stages of remission.
SA101 Week 1 - What is addiction
Addiction is characterized as a chronic disease that involves dysfunction in brain circuits related to reward, motivation, and memory. This leads to an individual pathologically pursuing reward and relief through substance use and other behaviors. Addiction is defined by an inability to abstain consistently, impaired behavioral control, craving, diminished awareness of problems caused by one's behaviors, and dysfunctional emotional responses. Without treatment, addiction progresses and can result in disability or death. Relapse is the return to addictive behaviors and substance use after attempting abstention, while a slip up involves a brief return to use without full relapse.
Depression
Depression is common, affecting 10% of people at some point in their lives. Risk factors include being female, past depression, chronic illness, and other mental health problems. Symptoms include persistent sadness, loss of interest, changes in appetite or sleep, feeling worthless, and suicidal thoughts. Severity is determined by number of symptoms, from mild (4 symptoms) to severe (7 or more). Diagnosis involves questionnaires like the PHQ-9 or HAD scale. Treatment includes antidepressants like SSRIs or SNRIs and talking therapies such as CBT. Referrals are made for counseling or more specialized therapies.

Salvia: Effects, Legal Status and Analysis
Presented March 18, 2010 by Dr. Barry K. Logan, PhD, DABFT, NMS Labs National Director of Forensic Services
This presentation reviews the rising popularity and spread of Salvia divinorum, from its origins in religious ceremonies to its current status as a potent recreational hallucinogenic drug. The intense dissociative effects of the drug are described, the consequences of long term use, and its forensic significance considered. The presentation also assesses the efforts by various jurisdictions to schedule and outlaw the drug, and presents approaches to chemical and toxicological analysis of its active ingredients and metabolites, Salvinorins A and B.
Salvia Divinorum final presentation
Salvia divinorum is a sage plant that has been used ceremonially by Mazatec shamans for its dissociative and hallucinogenic effects. Its active compound, salvinorin A, is a potent kappa opioid receptor agonist that produces dream-like altered states at low doses with no reported negative experiences. Recent clinical trials in humans have explored the dose-dependent effects of salvinorin A and found it to induce dissociative, hallucinogenic, and memory altering effects in a manner consistent with descriptions of traditional Mazatec use. Further research on its unique pharmacology may provide insights into hallucinogens, the kappa opioid system, and potential therapeutic applications.

Avocado
The document summarizes information about avocados, including their origins, production, uses, and health benefits. It notes that Mexico and California are the two largest producers, with Mexico providing 68% of the world's avocados. Avocados are versatile and commonly eaten in guacamole, on sandwiches, and with various meats and fish. They are high in beneficial fats and nutrients.
Cocaine
Cocaine has a long history of use among native South Americans for religious ceremonies. It gained popularity in the late 19th century as a medical substance but was found to have harmful health effects. While it provides short-term effects like euphoria and increased energy, long-term cocaine use can damage the nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems and lead to health issues like heart attacks or seizures. It is now a banned controlled substance but continues to be illegally produced and used through means like snorting, smoking, or injection.
Steroids
Steroids are drugs that can physically change one's appearance, attitude, and life. They are used by many athletes, bodybuilders, and people with medical conditions to build muscle and prevent muscle breakdown, but can have dangerous side effects like shrinking testicles, liver tumors, heart issues, and violent behavior. Both men and women use steroids, but they are not necessary to gain strength or improve performance and can negatively impact health and sports.
Steroids
Steroids are a class of hormones related to testosterone that build muscle by increasing protein synthesis. They are commonly used by athletes to improve performance in sports like weightlifting, baseball, cycling, and football, but long-term use can have serious health risks such as infertility, enlarged heart, high blood pressure, liver damage, and aggression. Cycling involves taking high steroid doses for several weeks and then discontinuing use for several weeks or months.
Cocaine powerpoint
Cocaine is a powerfully addictive stimulant drug derived from the coca plant. It can be snorted, smoked, injected, or drank. Crack cocaine is cocaine that has been processed with baking soda to be smoked, which produces a very intense but short-lived high. Cocaine use is widespread in the United States and is associated with clubs, colleges, and weight loss. However, cocaine can be highly destructive due to its addictive potential and health risks like heart attacks and strokes. While the initial euphoric high may seem appealing, the physical, psychological, and social costs of cocaine use often outweigh any perceived benefits.
Steroids
Steroids share a common cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene ring structure and include various hormones. They can be classified as sterols, bile acids, cardiac glycosides, or steroid hormones. Steroid hormones include glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, androgens, estrogens, and progestogens which help control various metabolic and developmental processes. Several identification tests can be used to identify specific steroids like cholesterol, bile acids, and cardiac glycosides based on color changes produced from reactions with different reagents.
Steroid power point
The document discusses the dangers of steroid use among young people. It describes the three main types of steroids, the pressures that can lead to use, perceived benefits like increased strength and muscle growth, and serious health side effects like liver damage, cancer, acne, and mental health issues. The side effects are illustrated with graphic photos of acne scarring and male breast growth. Stories are shared of pro wrestler Chris Benoit who killed his family during a roid rage episode and NFL player Ed Gantner who committed suicide after battling steroid-induced depression. Alternatives to steroids for fitness goals are suggested like diet, exercise, and hard work.
Steroids
The document discusses steroids, which are cyclical organic compounds composed of 17 carbon atoms arranged in four rings. Steroids include cholesterol, sex hormones like testosterone and estradiol, bile acids, and drugs like dexamethasone. They are classified based on the substituent group at carbon 17 and include classes like sterols, sex hormones, cardiac glycosides, bile acids, and sapogenins. Specific steroids discussed in more detail include testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, and various androgens and glucocorticoids.
Steroids ppt
Corticosteroids are synthesized by the adrenal cortex and have glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid actions. They are used for their anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and electrolyte regulating properties. Common corticosteroids used include hydrocortisone, prednisone, and dexamethasone. They are administered topically, orally, intramuscularly or intravenously. Dental procedures on patients taking corticosteroids require stress reduction and adequate pain control to prevent adrenal insufficiency. Management of adrenal insufficiency involves glucocorticoid administration, IV fluids, and hospital transfer if unconscious.

Salvia
- 1. Salvia By: Katelyn Vitkos
- 2. Salvia Divinorum • A perennial herb that grows natively in the region of Oaxaca, Mexico • It had large green leaves, white flowers and hollow stems • Causes brief hallucinogenic experiences-considered to me more of an experimental drug than a party drug
- 3. How is it used? And is it legal? • It is commonly commonly chewed, drank (once extracted), and smoked after being dried. • Since 2006, 21 states have passed laws to regulate or control the substance • “Salvia currently is not a drug regulated by the Controlled Substances Act, but several States and countries have passed legislation to regulate its use.” (this shocked me)
- 4. How does it affect the brain? • The main ingredient in salvia, targets kappa opioid receptors. • The high is described as short and intense lasting from 1 to 30 minutes. • Effects include, changes in mood, visual perception, body sensations, emtional swings, and feelings of detachment
- 5. What are the effects? • As of right now, the effects of it both physically and psychologically are unknown. • Although, experiments on rats have showed affects on learning and memory. • A major risked that has been assessed though is the danger of someone losing control of themselves leading harm to themselves and/ or others
- 6. Other facts: • It is considered – Non habit forming – Cannot overdose – Legal in Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Virginia. – Others recommend having a sitter while using the drug to keep you safe.
- 7. Agreement vs. Disagreement • Agree: I agree that more research needs to be done on the drug. I also agree with the idea of having another person with you SHOULD you decide to try this drug • Disagree: I disagree with the fact that is so under controlled by many states while we know so little about it. What if 5 years from know we learn it causes serious problems?
- 8. Discussion.. • What are your thoughts on the legalization of salvia, like California for example ..who only restricts it to people under age 18? Do you agree with this or disagree?
- 9. Reference page • References • DrugFacts: Salvia. (n.d.). Retrieved from http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drug facts/salvia • Feature, K. D. (n.d.). Salvia FAQ.
