Explain
The word drug in Greek was called Pharmakon, meaning both remedy
and poison. It implies that drugs can either harm or cure, can give
pleasure or pain. The Online Business Dictionary gives two definitions
of what is a drug. First, it is a “natural or synthetic substance that (when
taken into a living body) affects its functioning or structure, when being
used in the diagnosis, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of a disease
or relief of discomfort. Also called legal drug or medicine. A legal or
medicinal drug (such as amphetamines), however, can be harmful and
addictive if misused.”
Secondly, the drug is being defined as a “habit forming stimulant or

narcotic substance (such as alcohol, cannabis, nicotine, or derivative of
cocoa or poppy) which produces a state of arousal, contentment,
euphoria. Continued or excessive use (called drug abuse or substance
abuse) of such substances causes addiction or dependence.”
(http://www.bussinessdictionary.com/definition/drug.html)
Historical Background
Drugs have been used since ancient times. As recorded, an alcoholic

drink made from fermented honey called mead was first used about
8000 B.C.E. while beer and berry wines were approximately used
around 6000 B.C.E. The following are some of the highlights how the
use of drugs evolved:
 About 5000 B.C.E. Sumerians started to use opium.

 In 3500 B.C.E. Ancient Egypt used alcohol.
 Around 3000 B.C.E. Ancient China used cannabis, the source of
marijuana.
 About 2500 B.C.E. Ancient Swiss people ate poppy seeds, the
source of opium.
 For thousand years, coca leaves (Erythoxylon coca, where

cocaine was extracted) have been chewed by ancient people,

and they used plants and herbs as their medicines.
 In 350 B.C.E. Ancient Palestine drank wine.
 In 300 B.C.E. It was recorded that Ancient Greeks drank poppy
Juice.
 In South America tribes, cohoba, which was made from mimosa
beans, was used as hallucinogen.
 About 1000 C.E. the use of opium was part of daily routine
among Chinese and other Asians.
 Before 1492, Native Americans were already using tobacco
before Christopher Columbus came.
In the Philippines, the drugs have been used before the Spanish came. It
was predicted that one of the uses drugs that time was to make warriors
more courageous to fight in a battle. Our pre-colonial ancestors also
have native alcoholic beverages and masticatory preparations made of
betel leaf (buyo), areca nut (bunga) or lime (hapug) or apog.
In the early part of the 17th century. British Est India Company and the
competing Dutch East India introduced opium to the Asian market,
including the Philippines. Unknown to many, the Iloilo-Antique farm
cultivated opium and was considered one of the largest and most
lucrative farms outside of Manila. Opium (Apiyan in tagalog) was a
regulated drug during the Spanish era, with the Chinese having
exclusive rights to its legal use. During that time, the Spanish authority
believed Filipinos would be lazy if they used opium. However,
Sinibaldo de Mas, a Spanish diplomat, contradicted the idea by arguing
that, “If Filipinos use opium, they will work hard.” His argument
stemmed from the highly-addictive quality of the drug and the
necessary of paying for it.
As early as 1400s opium was believed to be an aphrodisiac. Lately, It

was used in recreation and as a painkiller. Natives even mixed opium
into their food. Additionally, Chinese introduced the used of opium as
medicine, providing relief from ailments like diarrhea, dysentery,
sunstroke, coughing, asthma, pains, cholera, among others. The turning
point was when tobacco entered Southeast Asia and opium would be
combined with tobacco. Giving rise to “opium smoke” however, due to
the misused of opium, the Spanish government later banned its use.

In El Filibusterismo, Jose Rizal described the effects of opium

addiction through the life of Kapitan Tiyago. Rizal narrated that before
he died, Kapitan Tiyago could be always seen inside the fumadero
smoking opium and he lost all his property because of his addiction.
Rizel surmised, - ang sugapa ang halimaw ng bisyo (addiction is the
monster of vices)
As time went by, Filipinos preferred use morphine injections over

opium. He uses of coca leaves and marijuana were popularized in the
1940s and 1950s. Many Filipinos then became enslaved of these stuffs
and seemed no escape from the mighty grip of addiction.
In our modern times and with the strong campaign against drug
addiction by the President Duterte’s administration, young people
especially the students must be aware and fully understand the bad
effects of using illegal drugs to the body and ruins the dreams of the
young generations. Education liberates the young minds from the
emancipation of ignorance. Information education campaign (IEC)
must be intensified in all levels of education institutions against the use
of illegal drugs’
ACTIVITY 4

Summary of R.A.9165, Article II based on my understanding

Drug Abuse
Drug abuse exists when a person continually uses a drug other than its
intended purpose. This continued use can lead to drug dependence, a
state of physical and psychological dependence, or both on a dangerous
drug.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is a complex and often chronic, brain disease. It is
characterized by excessive drug craving, seeking, and use. Addiction is
caused by brain changes caused by constant drug use.
Dependency
This is the state of physical and psychological dependence, or both, on
a dangerous drug, or drugs, experienced by a person following the use
of that substance on a periodic or continuous basis. A person dependent
on drugs will experience withdrawal reactions (also known as “cold
turkey”, symptoms that occur after long-term use of a drug is reduced
or stopped abruptly) after abstaining from drugs.
Drug Abuse: By the Numbers
Estimated Drug Users in the Philippines: 1.7 Million

Estimated Drug Users in the World: 246 Million
Profile of Drug Users
Mean Age: 20-29 years old

Ratio of Male is to Female Users: 10:1
Civil Status: Married
Employment Status: Employed

High School Level
PDEA, 2019


Most commonly abused drugs in and their effects
Methamphetamine Hydrochloride (Shabu)
Methamphetamine hydrochloride is found to have harmful effects to the

brain. It changes how the brain functions. Studies have shown that
methamphetamine abusers have reduced motor skills and impaired
verbal learning as a result of alterations in the activity of the dopamine,
a neurotransmitter involved in reward, motivation, experience of
pleasure and motor function.
Street names: shabs, ice, meth, crystal, kristal, basura, tawas
Other adverse effects of methamphetamine:

 Severe dental problems (“meth mouth”)
 Anxiety
 Extreme Weight Loss
 Confusion
 Insomnia
 Mood disturbances
 Violent behavior

Cannabis Sativa (Marijuana)
Marijuana use impairs a person's ability to form new memories and to

shift focus. Its active component, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) also
disrupts coordination and balance, posture, and reaction time
(experience commonly referred to as “spacing out”).
Chronic marijuana use significantly reduces a person’s capacity to
learn, carry-out complicated tasks, participate in sports, driving and
operating other machineries. Studies also show that marijuana use can
lead to lung cancer and other problems in the respiratory and immune
systems.
Street names: weed, jutes, pot, grass, damo, chongke
Health problems that come with the use of marijuana include:

• Problems with memory and learning
• Distorted perception (sights, sounds, time, touch)
• Trouble with thinking and problem solving
• Loss of motor coordination
• Increased heart rate and palpitations
Inhalants
The effects of inhalants are similar to that of alcohol, including slurred

speech, lack of coordination, euphoria, and dizziness. Inhalant abusers
may also experience lightheadedness, hallucinations, and delusions.
Harmful irreversible effects of inhalants include:
 Limb spasms
 Hearing Loss
 Central nervous system or brain damage
 Bone marrow damage
Ecstasy
Ecstasy goes around by the names E, Snackies, and New Yorkers.

The drug, usually made in illegal laboratories, consists of a range of
substances that make it dangerous to consume. It comes in the form of a
tablet, powder, or capsule, and is usually swallowed, but could also be

snorted or injected. Ecstasy increases users’ empathy levels and induces

a feeling of closeness to people around them. It makes them feel more
sociable and energetic. Short-term use of ecstasy prompts the body to
ignore distress signals such as dehydration, dizziness, and exhaustion,
and interferes with the body's ability to regulate temperature. It could
also severely damage the liver and kidneys and could cause convulsions
and heart failure.
In large doses, ecstasy could cause restlessness, anxiety, and severe

hallucinations. Long-term use damages certain parts of the brain,
bringing about serious depression and memory loss.
Cocaine
Cocaine is known as Crack, Bazooka, Blanche, Cake, Coke, or Lady. It

is a fine white or off-white powder extracted from the leaves of the
coca plant. Cocaine is usually sniffed or injected, while crack is usually
smoked. After snorting cocaine, users feel exhilarated and euphoric,
leading to increased energy levels and alertness, along with delayed
hunger and fatigue.
Short-term use results in loss of appetite, faster breathing, increased

body temperature and heart rate. Users may act strangely, erratically
and at times violently.
Ingesting large doses of cocaine could cause convulsions, seizures,

stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, or heart failure. Long-term use of cocaine
damages the nose tissue and leads to respiratory problems, abscesses,
and infectious diseases.
Heroin
Heroin is also called Smack, H, Horse, Junk, Harry, and White

Lady. Heroin is a painkiller processed from morphine, which comes
from the opium poppy plant.
Pure heroin is a white powder, but street heroin is brownish white. This
highly addictive drug is usually injected, but could also be snorted,
smoked, or inhaled.

Heroin could relieve tension, anxiety, and depression, including

physical distress or pain. Its short-term effects include constricted
pupils, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, inability to concentrate and
apathy.
Long-term effects, meanwhile, include severe weight loss, malnutrition,

constipation, menstrual irregularity, sedation, and chronic apathy. Users
could develop a tolerance for the drug, making them ingest more to
achieve the effect they want.
Overdosing on heroin could lead to coma and death through respiratory

depression. Abruptly quitting heroin leads to severe withdrawal
symptoms, such as cramps, diarrhea, tremors, panic, runny nose, chills,
and sweats.
LSD
Also known as Acid or Hippie, LSD is a semi-synthetic drug made

from lysergic acid, which is found in a fungus that grows on rye and
other grains.
Dealers often sell it in squares of blotting paper with drops containing

the drug, but also in the form of tablets, capsules, and liquid. The
colorless and odorless drug is often swallowed and has a slightly bitter
taste.
LSD use leads to strong changes in thought, mood, and senses, along
with feelings of empathy and sociability. Its exact effects, however,
vary, depending on the mental state of the user and the environment
when taking the drug.
Over the short term, users experience delusions and distorted

perceptions in terms of time and color, severe and terrifying thoughts
and feelings, such as fear of losing control, insanity, death, and despair.
Users manifest dilated pupils, increased heart rate and blood pressure,
dry mouth and tremors. They lack the appetite and are sleepless

Barbiturates
Barbiturates are known as central nervous system depressants. They

enhance the action of GABA, a neurotransmitter that inhibits the
activity of nerve cells in the brain.
Historically, barbiturates were used in the treatment of

anxiety, epilepsy, to induce sleep, and as anesthetics. Nowadays, their
use is limited to a few specific conditions, such as:
1. Extreme cases of insomnia
2. Seizures that are unresponsive to other, less toxic, agents
3. the induction of anesthesia
4. In combination with acetaminophen and caffeine to relieve tension
headaches.
Research indicates that the abuse of barbiturates is on the rise,

especially among adolescents. They are often used to counteract the
stimulant effects from drugs such as cocaine and methamphetamine.
This has earned them the nickname “downers”.
Barbiturates have been associated with many, potentially serious side

effects. Some of the more common side effects include:
 Confusion nausea and vomiting
 Vertigo a headache
 Irritability dizziness
 Drowsiness diarrhea
 low blood pressure
Barbiturates are extremely dangerous in overdose. Symptoms may

include:
 difficulty concentrating
 impaired judgment
 incoordination
 sluggishness
 speech disturbances
 staggering
 unusually slow and shallow breathing
 coma and death.

Elaborate
Drug use increases risk for getting or passing on viral infections
because certain viruses can spread through blood or body fluids. This
happens with men and women, primarily in two ways:
(1) when people inject drugs and share needles or other drug
equipment,
(2) when drugs impair judgment and people make unwise, unprotected
choices related to intimate contact with an infected partner.
HIV AND AIDS
 36.9 million people are living with HIV worldwide?
According to World Health Organization (WHO) (2015),

globally there were estimated 36.9 million (34.3-41.4 million)
people were living with HIV in 2014, and 2.6 million of these
were children, majority of these people with HIV belong to
countries in Africa.
 Asia is confronting a complex and devastating HIV and AIDS

epidemic?
Although HIV did not hit Asian countries until the late 1980s,
by the late 1990s, the epidemic was well established across the
region. As reported by UNAIDS in 2013, more than 350,000
Asians/Pacific Islanders were newly infected with HIV,
bringing the total number of 5 million people living with
HIV/AIDS.
 In the Philippines, more children, and the young people are
getting infected with HIV? But what is more alarming is that

many of the new victims are teenagers, with some as young as

15.
(DOH as reported by Philippine Star, November 30, 2015)
 The Philippines is one of the nine countries where the number

of HIV-AIDS cases are growing?
The number of the new cases of HIV-AIDS in the Philippines in

2015 rose to over 3,000 when the latest government data as of
May 2015 showed the monthly tally hit 748-the highest
recorded since 1984 and 51 percent jump from the same month
in 2014.

How can I protect myself from HIV?
THE ABCDE HIV Protection for College Students
Abstinence
Delay sexual debut (age of first sexual encounters), especially in the

case of adolescents. Authorities agreed that the best way to get rid of
HIV/AIDS infection among young people is to develop the no to pre-
marital sex attitude. Young people who are aware of the consequences
of early sexual involvement are those individuals who become
successful in life.
It is advisable among adolescents engage with more productive

activities during their college years. Various wholesome activities are
being offered by the colleges and universities at large through the
Office of Student Affairs. Engagement and active involvement of
college students with co-curricular and extra-curricular activities are
one of the best ways to get rid from any pre-marital sex activities.
Here are some tips to be a productive college students.
1. Discover your interest. Are you good in reading, cooking, or

inclined in sports, arts, and music?
2. Identify your intelligence. Every person has two or more
intelligences; tap this intelligence and develop your
potentialities. Doing so will develop your skills as well as your
confidence.
3. Be surrounded by people having dreams and vision in life.
Successful people dream and craft their life vision. People with
visions are determined to take the risk and see their vision and
dreams come true. Be one of them!
Be Respectful
Be in love and be loved in college years is inevitable. It is part of

college life. But true love waits! Having sex with your
boyfriend/girlfriend is not the ultimate expression that you are deeply in
love with each other. In fact, if you love somebody, you have to respect
that person, as well as yourself. Avoiding pre-marital sex is a sign of

respect both to yourself and your partner, which in return, is the

demonstration of your love to each other. With this goal, it shows that
no to pre-marital sex is still the safest way of protecting yourself from
HIV.
Concentrate on your study
The main reason of pursuing dreams of a college education is to fulfill

your dreams in life and be a better and successful person someday. This
goal needs concentration, time management, and planning. Students can
still concentrate and devote quality time to study even though they are
in loved. Ritchell Thibodeaux (2011) in her My College and Careers
gave possible tips on how to balance love and study. Some of these tips
are the following:
 Time Management
Certain things must be done in certain times; do homework first
before texting or talking to the phone with someone you love;
schedule your dates during weekends; no hanging out before
and during.
Examination week. Have quality time also with your family,
friends, and yourself. Do not focus on one thing; balance
everything. Doing these simple advice will help you become a
responsible student, child, partner, and a person for a better
future. With such, pre-marital sex may be hindered.
 Mutual Agreement
To balance love and study, you and your partner should agree
about your plan to schedule everything so that both of you will
finish your studies and reach your dreams. If both of you will
graduate, the chances for both of you to have more opportunities
in life and be prosperous are highly possible and then love will
be in the air. If your partner disagrees, it is a sign that your
present partner is not capable of understanding and giving
importance to your goals in life and future. So you better think
twice.

Do not engage in Drugs
Drugs ruin lives, using drugs illegally makes the human body
vulnerable to harmful bacteria that destroys the immune system.
Sharing of needles and syringes among people using illegal drugs is
highly susceptible to HIV/AIDS.
Educate yourself about HIV/AIDS
Schools are the best venue of knowledge. Through partnership with

other institutional agencies that have HIV/AIDS prevention advocacy,
various HIV/AIDS awareness information campaigns, and programs
are available in the colleges and universities. As a college student, you
are encouraged to attend seminars and workshops on health awareness
and responsibility to increase your awareness and consciousness about
HIV/AIDS. You may share among your friends and love ones the
knowledge you acquired about HIV/AIDS. Individuals are responsible
to commit themselves to promote the HIV/AIDS awareness to others.
