ILLEGAL
DRUGS
 CANNABIS OR COMMONLY KNOWN AS
“MARIJUANA” OR “INDIAN HEMP”
Cannabis, weed, pot, and marijuana all refer to the
same group of plants known for their relaxing and calming
effects. Marijuana refers to the dried leaves, flowers, stems,
and seeds from the Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica plant.
The plant contains the mind-altering chemical THC and
other similar compounds. Cannabis is commonly used as a
recreational drug. People also commonly use cannabis for
multiple sclerosis (MS) and nerve pain. It is also used for
nausea, vomiting, migraine, and many other conditions, but
there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
 Marijuana over-activates parts of the brain that contain the
highest number of these receptors. This causes the "high"
that people feel. Other effects include:

• altered senses (for example, seeing brighter colors)

• altered sense of time
• changes in mood
• impaired body movement
• difficulty with thinking and problem-solving
• impaired memory
• hallucinations (when taken in high doses)
• delusions (when taken in high doses)
• psychosis (risk is highest with regular use of high potency marijuana)
 METHYLENEDIOXYMETHAMPHETAMINE
(MDMA) OR COMMONLY KNOWN AS “ECSTASY”

Ecstasy is often used to refer to MDMA in the tablet or capsule form, which is the
most common way people take the drug. MDMA is a synthetic drug that acts as a stimulant
and hallucinogen. It produces an energizing effect, distortions in time and perception, and
enhanced enjoyment from sensory experiences. It has also been described as an entactogen
—a drug that can increase self-awareness and empathy.
 Negative side effects of ecstasy use can come about
while the user is still under the influence or after they
have come down from their high. Some of these common
side effects also include:
• Impaired judgment
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Trouble sleeping
• Confusion
• Paranoia
• Muscle tension
• Blurred vision
• Teeth clenching or grinding
 METHAMPHETAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE OR
COMMONLY KNOWN AS “SHABU”, “ICE”, AND
“METH”
Methamphetamine is a powerful, highly addictive
stimulant that affects the central nervous system. It takes the
form of a white, odorless, bitter-tasting crystalline powder that
easily dissolves in water or alcohol. It was developed from its
parent drug, amphetamine, and was used originally in nasal
decongestants and bronchial inhalers.

It causes increased activity and talkativeness, decreased appetite, and a

pleasurable sense of well-being or euphoria. However, methamphetamine differs
from amphetamine in that, at comparable doses, much greater amounts of the drug
get into the brain, making it a more potent stimulant.
 People take methamphetamine
for its pleasurable Trusted Source effects. These
• increased wakefulness
include:
• higher levels of physical activity
• Decreased appetite
• a sense of well-being or euphoria

A person may also experience:

• faster breathing
• a fast or irregular heart rate
• higher blood pressure
• Increased body temperature
