1.
HEROIN

How its used
Heroin is an opiate with strong sedative (downer) and painkilling effects.
It comes in powder form which varies in colour from brown to white. You can
inject it, sniff it or smoke it on foil or in a tobacco-based joint.
Heroin is an opiate processed directly from the extracts of the opium
poppy. It was originally created to help cure people of addiction to morphine.
Upon crossing the blood-brain barrier, which occurs soon after introduction of
the drug into the bloodstream, heroin is converted into morphine, which mimics
the action of endorphins, creating a sense of well-being; the characteristic
euphoria has been described as an orgasm centered in the gut. One of the
most common methods of heroin use is via intravenous injection.

Short-term effects
Effects can start quickly and last for several hours. This depends on how
much of the drug you use and how you take it
Makes you feel warm and relaxed with a hazy feeling of security
Pinpoint pupils
Pain relief
You can have nausea and vomiting the first time you use it
Dramatic mood swings
Your breathing and heart rate slow down
Constipation
Higher doses cause drowsiness goofing off
Injecting heroin causes more intense feelings
Long-term effects
You build tolerance, so you need to take more to get the same buzz
Chronic constipation
Irregular periods in women
High doses can cause you to feel drowsy all the time, fall into a coma or
die from breathing failure
If you smoke heroin you risk lung and heart disease
You may stop eating properly and not look after yourself
Other dangers
Unplanned pregnancy due to irregular periods
Your risk of overdose is a particularly high if you stop using heroin for a
while and then start using again as your tolerance goes down
Heroin is more dangerous when you use it with other depressant drugs
such as an alcohol, tranquillisers, benzos or other opiates, such as
methadone
Damage to veins if you inject it
You risk HIV and hepatitis if you share needles
You risk choking on vomit as your cough reflex is suppressed
If you are pregnant
If you use heroin while pregnant, you risk miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth,
low birth weight or cot death. Your baby may go through heroin withdrawal and
need treatment after birth. You should stop using heroin gradually over a few
days under medical supervision. If you stop too quickly you could lose your baby.
Addictive
Heroin is highly addictive, both physically and psychologically, so your body
craves it and you feel you cant cope without it. If you use it regularly for 2 to 3
weeks you will build tolerance so you need to keep taking more to get the same
buzz.
Withdrawal
You may start to experience withdrawal after several weeks on high, frequent
doses of heroin. Withdrawals start 8-12 hours after your last use and include
aches, shakes, sweating, chills, sneezing and yawning and muscle spasms. These
fade after about a week and are not life threatening.
How long does it stay in your system?
A urine test will detect heroin for 3-8 days. (The length of time depends on the
test used, the amount you take, if you have other medical conditions and your
own metabolism. Please use this figure as a guide only)

2. COCAINE
Category: Stimulants
Also called: snow, C, charlie, coke, rock, dust, white.

How its used
Cocaine is a strong but short acting stimulant drug (upper) which comes
in a white powder. You can divide it into lines and snort up the nose with a rolled
up bank note or straw. You can also smoke it or make into a solution to inject.
Cocaine is a crystalline tropane alkaloid that is obtained from the leaves
of the coca plant. It is both a stimulant of the central nervous system and an
appetite suppressant, giving rise to what has been described as a euphoric sense
of happiness and increased energy. It is most often used recreationally for this
effect. Cocaine is a potent central nervous system stimulant. Its effects can last
from 20 minutes to several hours, depending upon the dosage of cocaine taken,
purity, and method of administration. The initial signs of stimulation are
hyperactivity, restlessness, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate and
euphoria. The euphoria is sometimes followed by feelings of discomfort and
depression and a craving to experience the drug again. Sexual interest and
pleasure can be amplified. Side effects can include twitching, paranoia, and
impotence, which usually increases with frequent usage.
The cocaine arrived and we agreed to use it at a time that translated to
three and a half hours after I arrived. It cost $60 for what I was told was an
eighth of a gram. This seemed rather expensive, but I was assured that it was
high quality product. I took the line up my left nostril. After about ninety
seconds, I felt my heartbeat increase. It was definitely kicking in. I began to worry
a bit, as I could feel my heart pounding and my pulse increasing. I finally felt as if
it had reached a plateau.
Short-term effects
Effects of cocaine start quickly but only last for up to 30 minutes
You may feel more alert, energetic, exhilarated and confident
Your heart and pulse rate speed up suddenly
Hyperactivity, dilated pupils, dry mouth, sweating and loss of appetite
Higher doses can make you feel very anxious and panicky
Increased sex drive
Long-term effects
Tightness in chest, insomnia, exhaustion and unable to relax
Dry mouth, sweating, mood swings and loss of appetite
You may become aggressive or even violent
You may feel depressed and run down
Damage to nose tissue
Digestive disorders, dehydration and anorexia
Kidney damage
If you use it often you may lose your sex drive
Injecting may cause abscesses
Smoking may cause breathing problems
Anxiety, paranoia and hallucinations, if you use a lot
Restlessness, nausea, hyperactivity, insomnia and weight loss

Other dangers
Overdose can cause epileptic fit, stroke, breathing problems and heart

Damage to veins if you inject
Risk of HIV and hepatitis if you share needles
When you mix cocaine with alcohol, they combine to produce
cocaethylene, which increases the risks of damage to the heart or heart
attack
Extremely dangerous if you inject it with heroin, known as a speedball
Increased sex drive can lead to unsafe sex, with the risk of unwanted
pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or HIV
Debt cocaine is an expensive habit and you may find yourself borrowing
money to buy it
If you are pregnant
If you are pregnant, stop using cocaine now. Cocaine causes high blood pressure
so you increase your risk of miscarriage, premature birth or placental abruption
(afterbirth coming away from the womb). It can reduce the oxygen your baby
gets through the placenta. Your baby may be smaller at birth, have birth
abnormalities and a higher risk of cot death.
Addictive
Cocaine is very psychologically addictive so you find it hard to live without it.
Your tolerance increases over time so you have to keep taking more to get the
same buzz.

extreme emotional and physical distress. This distress can lead to symptoms such

4. CRACK COCAINE
Also known as: Freebase, Base, Rocks, Stones, Wash, Pebbles, Gravel.

How it's used
Crack cocaine is a smokeable form of cocaine which is made by
chemically altering cocaine powder to form crystals or rocks (about the size of a
raisin). It is called crack because it makes a crackling sound when it is being
burnt. Crack is usually smoked in a pipe, glass tube, plastic bottle or in foil. It can
also be injected.
Crack cocaine, often nicknamed crack, is believed to have been created
and made popular during the early 1980s . Because of the dangers for
manufacturers of using ether to produce pure freebase cocaine, producers began
to omit the step of removing the freebase precipitate from the ammonia
mixture. Typically, filtration processes are also omitted. Baking soda is now most
often used as a base rather than ammonia for reasons of lowered odor and
toxicity; however, any weak base can be used to make crack cocaine. When
commonly cooked the ratio is 1:1 to 2:3 parts cocaine/bicarbonate.

Short-term effects
Crack is also a short acting stimulant drug but the effects are much
stronger than cocaine
Creates an immediate intense euphoria which peaks after about 2
minutes and lasts for around 10 minutes
The high feeling can induce hallucinations, huge mood swings and
paranoia
Aggression and violence
Users report feeling alert, energetic and confident
Dry mouth, loss of appetite, sweating, increased heart and pulse rate
Once the high has worn off (after about 20 minutes), it is followed by a
long low crash which can be associated with strong cravings to take more
Long-term effects
Increased anxiety, nervousness and psychotic behaviour
Chronic coughing, cracked wheezy breathing and partial loss of voice
Breathing problems and damage to lungs
Difficulty sleeping
Weight loss
Debt
Other dangers
Risk of overdosing increases if mixed with heroin, barbiturates or alcohol
High doses can raise the bodys temperature, cause convulsions and
respiratory arrest.
Problems with anxiety, paranoia and panic attacks.
Loss of sexual desire, heart problems
Damage to veins if injecting
Risk of HIV and Hepatitis transmission if injecting equipment is shared
Increased libido can lead to risky sexual behaviours.

If you are pregnant
Crack cocaine use during pregnancy can induce miscarriage, premature labour,
smaller babies and congenital abnormalities. Babies born to mothers who are
crack users during pregnancy will show withdrawal syndrome following birth.
Addictive
Crack can quickly become both physically and psychologically additive. Tolerance
increases over time and so users have to keep increasing their dose to get the
same effect.
Withdrawal
Tiredness and depression
2-4 days(The length a substance is detectable depends on the test used, the
levels consumed, if there are existing medical conditions and the persons own
metabolism. This figure should therefore be used as a guide only)

greatly from person to person, depending on factors such as previous
experiences, state of mind and environment, as well as dose strength. They also
vary from one trip to another, and even as time passes during a single trip. An
LSD trip can have long term psychoemotional effects; some users cite the LSD
experience as causing significant changes in their personality and life
perspective. Widely different effects emerge based on what Leary called set and
setting; the set being the general mindset of the user, and the setting being
the physical and social environment in which the drugs effects are experienced.

frequently processed chemically to produce heroin for the illegal drug trade.
Opium has gradually been superseded by a variety of purified, semi-synthetic,
