Q & A

What are addictive substances and how do they affect the body?

Addictive substances are chemicals that, when consumed, cause dependency or addiction, leading to a desire to repeatedly use them. This can result in physical or psychological dependence, where the user feels the need to use these substances continually.

What are the types of addictive substances based on their origin?

Addictive substances can be categorized into three groups based on their origin: narcotics, psychotropic substances, and other psychoactive substances.

How are narcotics classified, and what are some examples?

Narcotics are classified into three groups: 1) Highly dangerous narcotics like cocaine and heroin, which are not used for medical purposes. 2) Narcotics like morphine that can be used in medical treatments as a last resort. 3) Narcotics like codeine, which have lower potential for dependence and are widely used in medicine.

What is the difference between narcotics and psychotropic substances?

Narcotics are substances derived from plants or chemicals that can cause changes in consciousness, relieve pain, and lead to dependency. Psychotropic substances, on the other hand, affect mental state and behavior, and they can also cause dependence.

What are the four classes of psychotropic substances and their effects?

Psychotropic substances are classified into four categories: 1) Class I: Highly addictive, not used for medical purposes (e.g., ecstasy, LSD). 2) Class II: Strong addiction potential, but used in limited medical contexts (e.g., amphetamines, methamphetamines). 3) Class III: Moderate addiction potential, often used in medical treatments (e.g., pentobarbital, flunitrazepam). 4) Class IV: Low addiction potential, widely used in medicine (e.g., diazepam, clobazam).

What is the impact of alcohol consumption on health?

Short-term alcohol consumption can lead to drunkenness and accidents, while long-term use can damage the liver, digestive glands, nervous system, and increase the risk of heart disease and cancer. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy can also lead to birth defects.

What is the role of stimulants and what are some examples?

Stimulants increase the activity of the central nervous system, raising heart rate, blood pressure, and alertness. Examples of stimulants include caffeine, cocaine, nicotine, and methamphetamines (commonly known as 'shabu').

What are sedative-hypnotic drugs and how do they affect the body?

Sedative-hypnotic drugs, or depressants, slow down brain activity, lowering awareness, inducing drowsiness, reducing blood pressure, and slowing the heart rate. Examples include alcohol, barbiturates, and diazepam.

What is the effect of hallucinogenic drugs?

Hallucinogenic drugs cause sensory distortions, such as hearing or seeing things that are not actually there. They alter perceptions of time, space, and reality. LSD is a common example of a hallucinogen.

What are some strategies to prevent drug abuse and addiction?

Prevention strategies include knowing and evaluating oneself, building self-esteem and confidence, choosing good company, learning to resist peer pressure, adopting a healthy lifestyle, strengthening faith, engaging in positive activities, and maintaining good communication with peers and family.
