Nature and effects of gateway drugs
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes170 views
Gateway drugs are substances like caffeine, tobacco, and alcohol that can potentially lead to use of more dangerous drugs. Caffeine acts as a stimulant but can cause issues like headaches and sleep problems. Tobacco contains nicotine which is addictive and can lead to health issues including cancer and heart disease over long term use. Alcohol consumption causes both short term effects like loss of coordination but also long term health risks such as liver disease and cancer if abused regularly.

Caffeine and theine are both alkaloid compounds that are stimulants of the central nervous system. Caffeine is commonly found in coffee, tea, chocolate, energy drinks, and other plants. Theine is the same substance as caffeine but was originally discovered in tea leaves, so it is called theine when referring to tea. Both have positive effects like improved memory and heart health but also negative effects like increased heart rate and insomnia when consumed in large amounts.Kowsi

This document discusses different types of sedatives, stimulants, and other drugs that affect the central nervous system. It defines sedatives as substances that induce calmness and sleep by reducing irritability and excitement. Common sedatives are benzodiazepines which enhance the neurotransmitter GABA, resulting in sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant effects. Stimulants discussed include caffeine, nicotine, cocaine, methamphetamines, and ephedrine. They temporarily increase alertness but can be addictive and cause psychological and physical harm with misuse.

Cannabis is a drug produced from the Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica plant. It contains over 400 chemicals including THC, which is the main psychoactive ingredient. Cannabis is most commonly used recreationally by smoking but may also be consumed through food, tea, or other methods. It produces effects like relaxation, altered perception, increased appetite, and in some cases anxiety or paranoia. There is some evidence it may help medical conditions like nausea, MS symptoms, and pain, but more research is still needed on safety and efficacy. Heavy or long term cannabis use can increase risks of mental health issues like psychosis.Psychoactive drug

Psychoactive drugs are chemical substances that can alter moods, behaviors, and perceptions. They are classified into depressants, stimulants, hallucinogens, cannabis, and opiates. Depressants slow down the nervous system and include alcohol and barbiturates. Alcohol is the most widely used depressant and long-term abuse can cause liver damage and cancer. Stimulants like caffeine, nicotine, and amphetamines stimulate the nervous system and cause feelings of energy but long-term use can lead to health risks like heart and lung disease. Hallucinogens alter perceptions and include drugs like Ecstasy which cause physical effects like headaches and elevated blood pressure.A Naturopathic Doctor’s Advice: Is Coffee Right For You?

This document discusses stimulant drugs such as caffeine, nicotine, cocaine, and amphetamines. It explains that stimulants increase alertness, attention, and energy by enhancing neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain. Short-term effects include feelings of euphoria, but long-term abuse can lead to addiction, paranoia, irregular heartbeat, and seizures. Caffeine is the world's most commonly used psychoactive drug, found in coffee, tea, chocolate, and some medicines. While caffeine provides alertness, too much can cause cardiovascular problems, ulcers, and anxiety over time. Withdrawal from caffeine addiction brings on headaches, tiredness, and irritability.Caffeine Presentation.PPT

1) Caffeine was important for facilitating the industrial revolution as it helped workers stay awake and productive on the factory floor. The widespread use of caffeinated drinks like coffee and tea also helped decrease disease among crowded city workers.
2) Caffeine is considered the drug that made the modern world possible as it provided an energy boost to keep up with the demands of the 24-hour society.
3) Moderate caffeine consumption of a couple cups of coffee or sodas per day is generally not harmful and can provide benefits like increased alertness and mood enhancement. Caffeine is a self-limiting drug and tolerance develops to prevent excessive intake.Chemistry project work

A man started a small honey business by keeping beehives on his farm and selling the honey. As his business grew, he expanded operations by buying larger beehives, mechanical extractors, and hiring assistants. He then decided to plant flowers to attract more bees and produce more honey. Over time, despite using pesticides to improve the flowers, the bee population declined, honey production fell, and he eventually had to close down his once successful business.The bussiness man who wanted more (story)

A man started a small honey business by keeping beehives on his farm and selling the honey. As his business grew, he expanded operations by buying larger beehives and mechanical extractors to increase production. He hired workers and was able to build a larger farm and acquire more beehives and hives. To attract more bees, he started growing flowers on his land. This increased honey production and his business prospered. However, overuse of pesticides killed many of the flowers and caused the bee population and honey production to decline, eventually forcing him to close down his business.What to do during emergencies and disaster
