Objectives
Identify the symptoms of marijuana intoxication
Review the research related to the short and long term effects of marijuana on the brain and body
Explore the medical uses of marijuana
Discuss marijuana as a gateway drug
What is It
Marijuana refers to the dried leaves, flowers, stems, and seeds from the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa.
The plant contains the mind-altering chemical delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
Extracts with high amounts of THC can also be made from the cannabis plant
How is it Used
Smoked
Joints
Pipes or water pipes (bongs)
Blunts—emptied cigars that have been partly or completely refilled with marijuana.
Vaporized
Pull the active ingredients from the marijuana and collect their vapor in a storage unit which is inhaled instead of smoke.
Eaten: Brownies, cookies, or candy, or brew it as a tea.
How is it Used
Resins: A newly popular method of use is smoking or eating different forms of THC-rich resins
Smoking THC-rich resins extracted from the marijuana plant is on the rise. Users call this practice dabbing. People are using various forms of these extracts, such as:
hash oil or honey oil—a gooey liquid
wax or budder—a soft solid with a texture like lip balm
shatter—a hard, amber-colored solid
Oral Ingestion
Orally consumed cannabinoids tends to be stronger and last longer (4-6 hours) than inhaled cannabis.
This is because of the way bodies metabolize THC.
When cannabis is inhaled, THC passes rapidly from the lungs to the blood stream and to the brain.
When cannabis is consumed orally, a significant portion of THC is converted into the metabolite 11-hydroxy-THC before reaching the brain.
This metabolite is believed to be slightly more potent than THC and possesses a greater blood-brain penetrability
Short Term Effects
THC effects are felt more slowly when the person eats or drinks it. (30 minutes to 1 hour)
Effects
Altered senses (for example, seeing brighter colors)
Temporary hallucinations
Altered sense of time
Changes in mood
Impaired body movement
Difficulty with thinking and problem-solving
Impaired memory
Breathing problems. Marijuana smoke irritates the lungs
Increased heart rate for up to 3 hours after smoking
A presentation contains some hallucinogenic drugs that people misuse and some information about it.finally by dena ezzat , a pharmacist student in third year.

Diagnosis and treatment of amphetamine abuseAsra Hameed
Amphetamine is a stimulant and an appetite suppressant. It stimulates the central nervous system (nerves and brain) by increasing the amount of certain chemicals in the body. This increases heart rate and blood pressure and decreases appetite, among other effects.
Amphetamine is used to treat narcolepsy and attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADHD).
Amphetamine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. WHAT IS SYNTHETIC MARIJUANA?
Synthetic marijuana refers to the many herbal mixtures inaccurately
marketed as “safe” and legal, that produce marijuana-like effects. It is
often labeled “not for human consumption” and sold as “incense,” but
look more like potpourri. It may contain dried, shredded plant material
and chemicals that create the mind-altering effects. People buy it in
head shops, convenience stores, and on the Internet.
3. HISTORY AND OVERVIEW ON SYNTHETIC
MARIJUANA
Source: Narconon International
Huffman began his research on a class of chemicals found in marijuana, cannabinoids, in
1984. Over the course of 20 years – supported by generous grants from the National
Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) – Huffman and his team developed more than 450 different
synthetic cannabinoids that could mimic the effects of natural marijuana.
Source: Times News
Dr. Richard Huffman created the mixture at Clemson University and retired years ago, but
some companies copied his synthetic marijuana compound and sprayed it onto potpourri
leaves, creating the synthetic marijuana that is now leading to drug abuse problems all
over the country.
4. HISTORY AND OVERVIEW CONTINUED
Source: Office of Natural Drug Control Policy
Synthetic cannabinoids are man-made chemicals that are applied (often sprayed) onto plant material
and marketed as a “legal” high. Users claim that synthetic cannabinoids mimic Δ9-
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive active ingredient in marijuana.
• Use of synthetic cannabinoids is alarmingly high, especially among young people. According to
the 2012 Monitoring the Future survey of youth drug-use trends, one in nine 12th graders in
America reported using synthetic cannabinoids in the past year. This rate, unchanged from 2011,
puts synthetic cannabinoids as the second most frequently used illegal drug among high school
seniors after marijuana (see chart).
• Synthetic cathinones are man-made chemicals related to amphetamines. Synthetic cathinone
products often consist of methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV), mephedrone, and methylone.
• The Administration has been working with Federal, Congressional, state, local, and non-
governmental partners to put policies and legislation in place to combat this threat, and to educate
people about the tremendous health risk posed by these substance.
Since that time several of these synthesized compounds with varying names have been produced
with a wide range of potency and effects.
5. TRENDS OBSERVED IN THE USAGE OF
SYNTHETIC MARIJUANA
• According to the Office of National Drug Control
Policy, spice is the second most frequently used
illegal drug among high seniors after marijuana. The
National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that, in
2012, male high school seniors were twice as likely
as female students to use synthetic marijuana.
• Between January and June of 2014 alone, poison
centers throughout the United States reported
receiving nearly 800 cases of synthetic marijuana
exposures.
• Additionally, in March of 2014, over 100 people were
treated for synthetic marijuana overdoses over the
course of two weeks in Louisiana, and, over a 5-day
period in May of 2014, 120 people throughout the
state of Texas overdosed on the substance.

7. HOW DOES THE DRUG ENTER THE BODY?
Drugs enter the body by
use of:
Joints
Blunt
Pipe
Drinks
Vaporizers
Capsules
Edible
Bongs
Brownies (or space
cakes)
Smoking
Capsules
Weed Tea
8. HOW DOES THE DRUG
TRAVEL THROUGH THE
BODY?
Every time someone smokes a marijuana cigarette or
ingests marijuana in some other form, THC (delta-9-
tetrahydrocannabinol) and other chemicals enter the
user's body.
• The chemicals make their way through the
bloodstream to the brain and then to the rest of the
body.
Hence, when a person inhales smoke from marijuana,
the THC goes directly to the lungs.
• Your lungs are lined with millions of alveoli, the tiny
air sacs where gas exchange occurs. These alveoli
have an enormous surface area, so they make it easy
for THC and other compounds to enter the body.
• The lungs then absorb the smoke just seconds after
inhalation.
9. HOW AND WHERE
IS THE DRUG
BROKEN DOWN IN
THE BODY?
Effects on the Heart
• Shortly after smoking marijuana the
heart rate increases drastically and
may remain elevated for up to 3
hours. This effect may be enhanced if
other drugs are taken with marijuana.
Effects on the Lungs
• After smoking marijuana, the
bronchial passage relaxes and
becomes enlarged, and the blood
vessels in the eyes expand making
the eyes look red. Marijuana smokers
can have many of the same
respiratory problems as tobacco
smokers, such as daily cough and
phlegm production, more frequent
acute chest illness, and a heightened
risk of lung
When the chemical from the synthetic marijuana
enters the body it flows through the bloodstream
making its ways to the main organs of the body
(such as the brain, hearts and the lungs).
Effects on the Brain
• Shortly after smoking the spice the user’s start to
demonstrate elevated mood, relaxation, and
altered perception—and in some cases the
effects are even stronger than those of
marijuana. Some users report psychotic effects
like extreme anxiety, paranoia, and
hallucinations.
10. HOW DOES THE
DRUG LEAVE THE
BODY?
Some of the most common methods that are thought to help flush
marijuana out of your system include drinking fluids, eating a healthy
diet, herbal supplements, exercise, sweating, niacin, and allowing
enough time to pass.
• Drink Fluids
Simply increasing your fluid intake could help. While it is not known
if water will help expedite flushing out THC (the chemical component
of marijuana that is stored in your fat cells) the excess water can
dilute metabolite count in your system.
• Eat more vegetables and stay away from fatty foods. High fat
foods make the digestive system less effective, which can inhibit
the detoxification process.
• Sweating
Excessive sweating is another method for flushing marijuana out of
your system. Sweating is one method the body uses to rid itself of
toxins. Heavy exercise or a sauna helps induce sweating.
• Niacin
Some people find that taking the over-the-counter
vitamin niacin is helpful in flushing out the body.
Niacin, or vitamin B3, is a supplement that improves
skin health and the nervous system and promotes your
metabolism to work harder.
• Time
Because the body stores THC in the fat cells, clearing
it out takes time, between seven and one hundred
days, depending on the amount of usage. Your body
will cleanse itself naturally once you stop smoking pot.
• Exercise
Because THC is stored in fat cells, it is believed that
burning fat through heavy aerobic exercise, such as
jogging or fast walking, biking or swimming laps, will
help the body process and release THC stored in your
fat cells.
• Herbal Supplements
Some herbal supplements are used to enhance the
detoxification process, such as psyllium seeds, milk
thistle and cayenne.
NB: Research is still being done on the drugs,
11. WHAT ARE THE COMMON TREATMENT FOR
THE DRUG?
Getting help from family and friends isn’t always a realistic option for a spice addict.
Here are a few treatment options that can be taken into consideration:
Option1: Local Support Groups
• Joining a local Marijuana Anonymous (M.A.) support group in your area is a great first
step to getting clean.
• Some people in M.A. are addicted to spice in addition to having issues with marijuana.
Marijuana Anonymous meetings are free to attend, and patients can visit meetings
anytime they choose.
• For family members trying to understand the harmful effects of synthetic marijuana,
Marijuana Anonymous is a great place to start, too.
• Newly recovering addicts may want to attend professional private therapy or rehab plus
Marijuana Anonymous together, to improve the chances for success.
12. Option 2: Residential Treatment Centers
• Checking into a residential treatment center for spice addiction can be
ideal. Many residential treatment centers today accept insurance for
spice addiction treatment, and nearly all offer payment plans for
patients.
• At a residential treatment center, the counselors and staff are
equipped with the knowledge and experience to help a person kick
synthetic weed addiction for good. The patient needs to be ready for a
drastic lifestyle change, but with constant monitoring, supervision and
support, the journey becomes easier.
13. 3 STEPS TO PERMANENT RECOVERY
there are three actions required by the user to achieve permanent recovery from spice addiction:
• detox
• counseling, and
• self-help.
When all three are done together, a patient has a much greater chance of successful recovery.
• The detox process requires a strong support system who understands how to treat the symptoms
of withdrawal.
• Counseling helps the patient see how they were damaging their lives and the relationships
around them when using spice.
• Lastly, self-help is the key way to stay off drugs and continue a sober lifestyle well after treatment
is over.
After you’ve detoxed and quit using the drug, in-person support groups like Marijuana Anonymous
and online groups like this website can serve as a great sounding board that can help you stay on a
clean and sober path, for the long term.
14. PREVENTION PROGRAM AVAILABLE
SPICE ADDICTION SUPPORT!
• this support group is to help remind
people that they’re not alone in the
battle to overcome synthetic
marijuana addiction.
• Not only does this site aim to
provide useful and life-changing
resources for users of Spice, but we
also want to help the families,
friends and coworkers of Spice
addicts to find help for the people
they care about.
NARCONON INTERNATIONAL
Drug Rehabilitation and Drug Education
• Narconon is a non-profit drug
rehabilitation program dedicated to
eliminating drug abuse and drug addiction
through drug rehab, drug information and
drug education.
• We have over 100 drug rehab centers and
drug prevention/education centers around
the world, and we have helped millions of
people.
15. NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DRUG ABUSE
These prevention programs work to boost protective factors and eliminate or
reduce risk factors for drug use. The programs are designed for various ages
and can be designed for individual or group settings, such as the school and
home.
There are three types of programs:
• Universal programs address risk and protective factors common to all
children in a given setting, such as a school or community.
• Selective programs target groups of children and teens who have factors
that put them at increased risk of drug use.
• Indicated programs are designed for youth who have already begun using
16. CONCLUSION
The use of the real marijuana is illegal and the effect of the natural
chemicals THC, THCA, CBD and CBN i.s well known. Synthetic
marijuana on the other hand is a mystery to sciencist and everyday a
new mixture or strand is found. Because of the adverse reaction that
can be experience with these of this drug the FDA as made it a
controlled substance and is classificed as a Schedule 1 drug, right at
the top with all the hard core drugs available. Manufactures of this drug
package it so it is attracted especially to young people. But
REMEMBER not all that glitters is Gold.
