ALL THE IMPORTANT DETAILS OF OUR TOPIC.

THIS TIME LET’S HAVE A WORD RECAP OF THE WORDS YOU HAVE DECODED FROM OUR GAME, SO
WE HAVE

 GATEWAY
 SHABU
 DEPRESSANT
 COCAINE
 NARCOTIC

I’M PRETTY SURE YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF OUR TOPIC BASED FROM THIS WORDS

SO THE MAIN LESSON IS UNDER THIRD QUARTER: PREVENTION OF SUBSTANCE USE AND ABUSE

SPECIFICALLY, WE WILL BE DISCUSSING THE SIX CLASSIFICATIONS OF DRUG OF ABUSE

OBJECTIVES:

AT THE END OF THE LESSON STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:

 DESCRIBE HOW DRUG ARE ABUSE ARE CLASSIFIED

 CLASSIFY DRUGS OF ABUSE ACCORDING TO THEIR EFFECTS ON THE BODY

MELC: IDENTIFIES THE TYPE OF DRUGS/ SUBSTANCES OF ABUSE H9S-IIc-18

BEFORE WE PROCEED, LETS FIRST HAVE A LESSON RECAP OF OUR PREVIOUS LESSON, PREVIOSLY
YOU HAVE LEARNED THIS COMMON CONCEPTS IN DRUG EDUCATION. THIS COMMON CONCEPTS
ARE THE USUAL WORDS THAT YOU ENCOUNTER IN STUDYING SUBSTANCE USE AND ABUSE:
THE FIRST TERM IS

DRUGS – DRUGS ARE ANY SUBSTANCES OR CHEMICALS WHICH WHEN TAKEN IN THE BODY HAVE A
CHEMICAL, EMOTIONAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND BEHAVIORAL EFFECTS ON A PERSON. IT CAN BE
TAKEN THROUGH SMOKED, SNORTED, INJECTED, SWALLOWED OR APPLIED THROUGH
TRANSDERMAL.

THE SECOND TERM WE HAVE:

DRUG OF ABUSE – THESES ARE DRUGS THAT COMMONLY ABUSE BY USERS. IN THE PHILIPPINES
THE THREE DRUGS OF ABUSE ARE SHABU, MARIJUANA AND INHALERS.

WE ALSO HAVE

DRUG DEPENDENCE – DRUG DEPENDENCE OCCURS WHEN YOU NEED ONE OR MORE DRUGS TO
FUNCTION. THE AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION (APA) USED TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN
DEPENDENCE AND ABUSE. ABUSE WAS CONSIDERED MILD OR EARLY PHASE OF INAPPROPRIATE
DRUG USE THAT LED TO DEPENDENCE. PEOPLE VIEWED DEPENDENCE AS A MORE SEVERE
PROBLEM THAN ABUSE

THEN, WE HAVE THE WORD

DRUG ABUSE – DRUG ABUSE OR SUBSTANCE ABUSE REFERS TO THE USE OF CERTAIN CHEMICALS
FOR THE PURPOSE OF CREATING PLEASURABLE EFFECTS ON THE BRAIN. THERE ARE OVER 190
MILLION DRUG USERS AROUND THE WORLD AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN INCREASING AT
ALARMING RATES, ESPECIALLY AMONG YOUNG ADULTS UNDER THE AGE OF 30.

LASTLY, WE HAVE

DRUG TOLERANCE – DRUG TOLERANCE HAPPENS WHEN A PERSON NO LONGER RESPONDS TO A

DRUG IN THE WAY THEY DID AT FIRST. SO, IT TAKES A HIGHER DOSE OF DRUGS TO ACHIEVE THE
SAME EFFECT AS WHEN THE PERSON FIRST USED IT. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE WITH SUBSTANCE USE
DISORDER USE MORE AND MORE OF A DRUG TO GET THE “HIGH” THEY SEEK.

ALRIGHT, THAT WOULD BE ALL FOR OUR LESSON RECAP DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION
REGARDING TO THIS? IF NONE LET’S PROCEED TO THE FIRST CLASSIFICATION OF DRUG OF ABUSE.

FIRST IS WHAT WE CALLED THE GATEWAY DRUGS.

WHY IT IS CALLED GATEWAY DRUGS? SO BASICALLY, DRUGS THAT A NON-DRUG USER MIGHT TRY
WHICH CAN LEAD HIM OR HER TO MORE DANGEROUS DRUGS SUCH AS MARIJUANA AND SHABU

Because of their accessibility, gateway drugs are often introduced to young people by their older
siblings, peers and even some parents. Regardless of the source, one point is clear – when a
person tries one drug, statistics show that he/she will try another drug, and that the other drug
will be stronger, more powerful and more addictive than the last.

SOME COMMON EXAMPLES OF THESE ARE CIGARETTES AND ALCOHOLS, WHICH ARE NOT
ALLOWED TO MINORS.

THE SECOND CLASSIFICATION IS THE DEPRESSANT

DEPRESSANT IS ALSO KNOWN AS “DOWNERS”, IT SLOWS DOWN A PERSON’S CENTRAL NERVOUS
SYSTEM. AND IT RELAXES MUSCLES AND NERVES. SO DOCTORS PRESCRIBE DEPRESSANT DRUGS
TO HELP PERSON TO BE LESS ANGRY, LESS STRESS OR LESS TENSE. IT ALSO MAKES PATIENTS FEEL
SLEEPY AND LIGHT-HEADED

DEPRESANTS INCLUDE ALCOHOL, BARBITURATES AND TRAQUILIZERS.

THIRD, IS THE STIMULANTS

IF DEPRESSANTS ARE KNOWN FOR “DOWNERS”, STIMULANTS ARE CALLED “UPPERS” OR

“SPEEDERS”. IT HAS AN OPPOSITE EFFECT OF DEPRESSANTS. IT SPEEDS UP A PERSON’S NERVOUS
SYSTEM. A PERSON CAN STAY AWAKE FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME UNDER ITS INFLUENCE.

THE MOST COMMON EXAMPLE OF THIS IS CAFFEINE, WHICH IS FOUND IN SOFT DRINKS, ENERGY
DRINKS, COFFEE, TEA AND CHOCOLATE, BUT IT DOESN’T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT IF YOU DRINK
COFFEE, SOFT DRINKS OR EAT CHOCOLATES YOU WILL BE ADDICTED, THAT’S WHY YOU SHOULD
DRINK AND EAT THIS FOODS IN MODERATION

SOME ILLEGAL STIMULATS INCLUDE COCAINE, NICOTINE, AND METHAMPHETAMINE OR SHABU

AND ECSTASY.

NEXT IS THE NARCOTICS,

IT IS ALSO KNOWN AS “PAINKILLERS”, BECAUSE IT RELIEVES PAIN AND INCLUDE SLEEPINESS.

THEY ARE GIVEN TO PATIENTS WITH MENTAL DISORDERS AND THOSE IN SEVERE PAIN. BUT ONLY
IN MODERATION AND IF IT REALLY NECESSARY, BECAUSE TOO MUCH AND WRONG USE OF THESE
DRUGS MAY CAUSE TO ORGAN FAILURES.

SOME ILLEGAL NARCOTIC DRUGS ARE HEROIN AND MARIJUANA, WHICH IF TAKEN WRONG MAY
CAUSE OVERDOSE LEADING TO COMA AND DEATH.

FIFTH CLASSIFICATION IS WHAT WE CALL HALLUCINOGENS.

SO, THE NAME HALLUCINOGENS IS DERIVED FROM THE WORD HALLUCINATION WHICH MEANS TO
SEE ILLUSIONS OR THING THAT ARE NOT REAL.

DRUGS WHICH DISTORTS REALITY AND FACTS. IT AFFECTS ALL SENSES AND MAKES A USER SEE,
HEAR AND FEEL THINGS THAT DON’T EXIST AND ARE NOT REAL.

LONG TERM USE MAY CAUSE PSYCHOSIS WHICH IS A MENTAL DISORDER IN WHICH REALITY IS
TWISTED. EXAMPLES ARE LYSERGIC ACID DIETHYLAMIDE (LSD), PSILOCYBIN, MESCALINE & MAGIC
MUSHROOM.

THE LAST CLASSIFICATION IS WHAT WE CALL INHALANTS.

FROM THE WORD INHALE WHICH MEANS TO BREATH IN THIS DRUGS ARE TAKEN IN NASAL WAY.
THESE ARE FOUND IN ORDINARY HOUSEHOLD CHEMICAL PRODUCTS WHICH ARE HUFFLED OR
SNIFFED. CONTINOUOS USE AND ABUSE LEADS TO DELUSION, BRAIN DAMAGE, LIVER DAMAGE,
COMA AND DEATC. EXAMPLES OF HOUSEHOLDS PRODUCTS USED AS INHALANTS ARE ACETONE,
RUGBY, SPRAY PAINT, CLEANING FLUIDS, AND AIR CONDITIONER FLUID (FREON)
SO JUST A SUMMARIZE OF OUR TOPIC, HERE ARE THE THINGS YOU SHOULD REMEMBER

DRUGS OF ABUSE ARE CLASSIFIED ACCORDING TO THEIR EFFECT ON THE BODY – GATEWAY
DRUGS, DEPRESSANTS, STIMULANTS, HALLUCINOGENS, NARCOTICS AND INHALANTS.

GATEWAY DRUGS ARE DRUGS THAT A NON-DRUG USER MIGHT TRY WHICH CAN LEAD HIM OR
HER TO MORE DANGEROUS DRUGS

DEPRESSANTS SLOW DOWN A PERSON’S NERVOUS SYSTEM, WHILE STIMULANTS HAVE THE
OPPOSITE EFFECT, IT SPEADS UP A PERSON’S CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

INHALANTS ARE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS WHICH ARE HUFFED OR SNIFFED, USUALLY FOUND IN
ORDINARY HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS.

NARCOTICS ARE KNOWN AS “PAINKILLERS”, IT RELIEVES PAIN AND INDUCE SLEEPINESS.

HALLUCINOGENS ARE DRUGS THAT AFFECTS ALL SENSES, IT DISTORTS REALITY AND FACTS.

SO, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION AND CLARIFICATION?

OKAY IF NONE, VERY GOOD, I HOPE YOU ALL LISTEN ATTENTIVELY IN OUR DISCUSSION BECAUSE
LIKE I SAID WE WILL BE HAVING AN ASSESSMENT TO SEE IF YOU LEARN SOMETHING FROM
TODAYS LESSON.

IN THIS ASSESSMENT, THIS IS CALLED WHAT I LIKED TO CALL RECITATION WHEEL, SO BASICALLY, I
WILL BE ASKING QUESTIONS FROM OUR DISCUSSIONS, THEN THE WHEEL WILL BE DETERMINE
WHO WILL ANSWER THAT PARTICULAR QUESTION. YOU WILL BE SELECTED RANDOMLY, IF YOU’RE
ABLE TO ANSWER CORRECTLY THEN YOU WILL GET A POINT. IF THE GIVEN ANSWER IS WRONG
THEN THE WHEEL WILL SPIN AGAIN TO SELECT ANOTHER STUDENT TO ANSWER UNTIL YOU WILL
GET THE CORRECT ANSWER.
