Drug abuse
This document discusses the effects of drug abuse on both individuals and society. It explains how drugs disrupt the brain's reward system, leading to tolerance and addiction. As drug abuse continues, the brain adapts by producing less dopamine, reducing pleasure from both drugs and other activities. This compels the addict to take larger drug amounts. The document also notes the economic costs of drug abuse and health issues like HIV/AIDS that can result from injection drug use. Over 500,000 Americans die each year due to drug abuse and its consequences.
Methamphetamine
Methamphetamine is a highly addictive stimulant that is chemically similar to amphetamine. It is typically taken orally, snorted, smoked, or injected and produces an immediate euphoric high followed by long term negative health effects. Long term methamphetamine abuse can lead to malnutrition, severe tooth decay, heart or brain damage, stroke, psychosis and depression. While teen use of methamphetamine has declined in recent years, it remains a dangerous drug with potentially serious health consequences from both short and long term use.
Methamphetamine
Methamphetamine is a highly addictive stimulant that affects the central nervous system. It comes as a white powder or clear crystal chunks that are smoked or injected. The drug has a long history but became popular in the US in the 1950s. It is produced illegally by extracting ingredients from cold medicines and combining them with toxic chemicals. Short term effects include increased activity and heart rate, while long term use can cause physical and mental health issues. Meth is addictive and illegal, with prison sentences and fines for possession.
"Crystal Meth" For Teens
This document provides information about crystal meth (methamphetamine) for teens, including what it is, why people use it, physical and mental health effects of its use, dangers of meth labs, and how to help a friend who may be using. It describes crystal meth's many street names and explains that it is a powerful stimulant.

"You Use, You Lose": An SHS Student Advocacy
Addiction is a chronic brain disease caused by drug use that disrupts the brain's communication system. Drugs either imitate or overstimulate the brain's natural chemical messengers, particularly dopamine, and can lead to compulsive drug seeking behavior. While initial drug use is often voluntary, continued use changes the brain in ways that challenge self-control. Risk factors like genetics, environment, and age influence a person's vulnerability to addiction. Prevention through education is key to reducing drug abuse.
Pseudoephedrine
Pseudoephedrine is an over-the-counter decongestant that is also used to make methamphetamine illegally. Regulations have been implemented to restrict pseudoephedrine sales and track purchases in order to curb meth production. These regulations led to a 50% decline in meth lab seizures between 2005-2006 according to the Drug Enforcement Agency. Additional measures are needed to further address the problem such as drug reformulations and stricter penalties.

Methamphetamine, also known as meth, is a highly addictive stimulant that affects the central nervous system. It can be smoked, snorted, injected, or taken orally. Common street names include crystal meth, ice, and yellow jackets. Short term side effects include irritability, insomnia, confusion, and anxiety. Long term use can cause paranoia, aggressiveness, and irreversible damage to blood vessels in the brain. Meth is made from common household chemicals like lye and paint thinner. Nearly 6.2% of high school seniors report using meth at least once. Meth addiction can take over a person's life, destroying their physical health, mental wellbeing, and relationships.
Methamphetamines
Methamphetamines were first created in the 1890s in Germany and later used by Japanese and American militaries to keep pilots awake. In the postwar era, meth became popular as a diet aid and antidepressant before being made illegal in the 1970s. Mexican drug cartels then began trafficking meth into the US through the Southwest, producing it in makeshift labs. Meth is addictive and can be smoked, snorted, or injected, producing feelings of euphoria and energy but also physical and mental health risks. Long-term meth use often damages relationships and health.

Erikson's Psychosocial Stages of Development
Erikson developed eight stages of psychosocial development across the lifespan: trust vs mistrust (infancy), autonomy vs shame and doubt (toddler), initiative vs guilt (preschool), industry vs inferiority (school age), identity vs role confusion (adolescence), intimacy vs isolation (young adulthood), generativity vs stagnation (middle adulthood), and integrity vs despair (late adulthood). At each stage, individuals face psychosocial crises that can result in healthy or unhealthy outcomes depending on how they are resolved. Erikson's theory emphasizes how social and cultural experiences shape personality development at each stage.

Meth is a highly addictive drug that affects the brain's dopamine system and causes both short-term and long-term damage. It interferes with neurotransmitters and causes a surge of dopamine that initially produces euphoria but eventually leaves the user unable to feel pleasure without the drug. Repeated use structurally changes the brain and damages areas involved in self-control, emotion regulation, and decision making. While some effects are reversible after stopping use, meth causes permanent damage to the brain's reward system that contributes to addiction difficulties.
Synthesis project final
The document provides information on methamphetamine (meth), including its history, effects, signs of abuse, and treatment options. Some key points:
- Meth was first created in 1887 and was used medically and by militaries/athletes for its stimulant effects. It is now primarily abused illegally.
