Cocaine is a powerful and addictive stimulant drug derived from the coca plant. It works by inhibiting the reuptake of dopamine in the brain's reward pathway, producing feelings of euphoria. Cocaine can be administered via multiple routes and has a fast onset of action and short duration. It is highly addictive due to how it activates the brain's reward system. Cocaine use can lead to numerous severe health issues and its withdrawal produces intense cravings. Treatment focuses on counseling, support groups, and some promising medications, but complete abstinence is very difficult for chronic users to achieve due to the biological and psychological aspects of cocaine addiction.stimulants

Central nervous system stimulants work by increasing levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine. They cause initial feelings of euphoria and increased alertness and energy. However, regular use can lead to tolerance and dependence. Common stimulants include caffeine, nicotine, cocaine, and amphetamines. They are used both medically to treat conditions like ADHD, obesity, and narcolepsy, as well as recreationally for their mood enhancing effects. However, stimulants also carry health risks like increased blood pressure, anxiety, and addiction. Their effects are mediated through interactions with neurotransmitter systems in the brain.Cannabis

Cannabis, also known as marijuana, has a long history of use dating back thousands of years. It contains the psychoactive compound THC and is most commonly administered by smoking. THC binds to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and periphery, altering mood, perception, and other neurological and psychological functions. While cannabis may have medical uses such as pain relief and reducing nausea, its recreational use can impair driving ability and is associated with adverse effects including anxiety, psychosis, and lung and heart damage with long-term use.Nicotine toxicity
Nicotine toxicityreiamameer

Nicotine is a highly addictive substance found in tobacco plants. It acts as both a stimulant and sedative, increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and the release of adrenaline. While nicotine can improve memory and concentration in the short term, long-term use leads to many negative health effects. Nicotine poisoning can occur from overdose and causes stimulant effects initially, followed by depressant effects like low blood pressure and breathing difficulties. Treatment focuses on medication, behavioral support, and medical care in severe cases. Prevention emphasizes avoiding nicotine products and safely storing them away from children and pets.Bath salts

Synthetic cathinones ("bath salts") and cannabinoids ("spice") pose emerging public health threats. They produce effects similar to illegal drugs like cocaine and marijuana but are marketed as "bath salts", "plant food", or "incense" to avoid regulation. While little was known about them initially, reports show they can cause agitation, hallucinations, and even death. Most states have now controlled or criminalized them in response.Papaver somniferum (Opium)

Stimulants work by blocking monoamine transporters like dopamine, increasing their levels in the brain. This can cause both acute effects like euphoria but also chronic addiction through changes in brain regions involved in reward. Management of acute intoxication focuses on stabilization while withdrawal typically resolves in 2 weeks with supportive care. Relapse prevention requires comprehensive psychosocial treatment though some medications may help reduce cocaine use.Opiod analgesics

Opioids are natural, semi-synthetic, and synthetic compounds that mimic the action of morphine. They act on opioid receptors both endogenously and exogenously. The physiological effects of opioids include analgesia through raising pain threshold and tolerance, respiratory depression by decreasing sensitivity to carbon dioxide, and euphoria producing a relaxed state. Opioids also cause sedation, gastrointestinal effects like nausea and constipation, and cardiovascular effects such as mild bradycardia and hypotension.Opioid Toxicity.pptx

Cathinone is a naturally occurring monoamine alkaloid found in the leaves of the Catha edulis tree. The ingestion of cathinone causes stimulation and euphoria. Use of Catha edulis, or khat by man can be traced back to ancient Egypt. Current use of khat is primarily in Africa and the Middle East. Cathinone exerts its effects by mimicking monoamine neurotransmitters. An entire class of substituted cathinones has been synthesized. The effect and reasons for use of these can be medicinal, recreational, or detrimental. This paper will address the biology of Catha edulis, its history and use by humans, and the biological activity cathinone exerts upon them. Next it will explain the biosynthesis of cathinone within Catha edulis followed by the chemical synthesis of cathinone and substituted cathinones in the lab. Finally it will discuss some of the chemical applications and consequences of the use of substituted cathinones in recent years.

2016 was a meme-ntous year. Memes saw people round the world pretend to be mannequins, they impacted the US presidential election, and nearly led the UK government to name a ship Boaty McBoatface.
Memes are nothing new: they have been a staple of culture and communications for thousands of years. What is new is the speed with which memes are created, adapted, and spread around the world via social media.
Today, Internet memes are being used to great effect by brands, third-sector organisations and political movements (from the alt-right to their far-left alternatives). Opportunities abound for entities who use them well. If you work in communications you need to understand where Internet memes come from, how they work, and how you can use them. This report answers those questions. Enjoy it and get in touch with queries.A Complete Guide To The Best Times To Post On Social Media (And More!)
