Found in coffee, tea, cola drinks, cocoa, and chocolate, as well as in stay-awake pills and some headache and cold- medicines, it is the world's most popular dng The following are typical amounts of Caffeine in products you may use regularly. (A cup refers to an average serving - about 200mL.) *cup of brewed/percolated coffee: 100mg *cup of instant coffee: 65mg *cup of decaffeinated coffee: about img *cup of tea: 30mg *soft drink containing caffeine: (280 mL) *chocolate bar: 50 g *cup of hot cocoa: 50 mg *stay awake pills: 100 mg The amount of headache and cold medicines varies from product to product; it is shown on the label of over- the-counter medications but not gn prescription drugs. Some people think the caffeine in coffee sobers you up when you've had too much alcohol. It's not true. The caffeine will make you more alert, but you're still drunk - just wider awake and more hyper. Your coordination and concentration will still be impaired. Modem amounts of caffeine - up to about 300 mg a day (e.g. three to four -average cups of coffee) - will rarely harm an otherwise healthy adult. But if you regularly drink more than six to eight cups of coffee - or your daily dose of caffeine from a combination of products containing caffeine is higher than 600 mg - you may have trouble sleeping, feel anxious, restless and depressed, and develop stomach ulcers. Higher amounts can make you extremely, afjitated and give you tremors and a very rapid and irregular heartbeat. Solvents and aerosols are drugs that were never meant to be drugs. They are made by the chemical industry to be used in all sorts of products - in gasoline, shoe polish, paint removers, model airplane glue, nail polish remover, spray deodorants, hairsprays, and insecticides. These are only a few of the hundreds of products that contain them. But people, especially young people, found that a whiff of these chemicals can give them a "buzz." Solvents and aerosols can affect you fast. In seconds after sniffing, you will feel the effects. That's because the drug floods SOLVENTS & AEROSOL into your bloodstream directly from your lungs and then quickly goes into the brain and liver, the organs with the largest blood supply. Sniffing solvents and aerosols can kill you or leave you permanently damaged. Here's why. In a typical way of sniffing inhalants, users put a solvent-soaked cloth in a plastic bag, which they hold tightly around their nose and mouth. Some users have suffocated when they fell asleep or passed out. Some users suffer heart failure if stress or strenuous exercise follows several deep inhalations ("sudden sniffing death"). Some users have overdosed either ~accidentally or on purpose. Some users don't get high; they just get depressed. Some have attempted suicide. People who use solvents regularly for a long time can damage their liver, kidneys, lungs, heart, brain, and blood. Sometimes this damage heals when drug use is stopped; sometimes it is permanent. Some users have suffered severe brain damage. Their brains have actually shrunk; and their ability to think and to control their movement has been seriously affected. Hallucinogens are drugs that bend your mind so that you see and hear things that don't really exist - you have hallucinations. There are many drugs in this category. Some come from plants and others are made in illegal laboratories. Although such drugs as cannabis, amphetamines, and alcohol are not usually called hallucinogens, large doses of them can sometimes cause hallucinations. PCP Effects can last as long as two weeks. Although it makes users "high" it also often makes them violent toward themselves and others. An overdose can be deadly, and PCP's effect on the mind has caused many deaths by accident, suicide, and LSD The most powerful of the hallucinogens. It has some effects on the body, causing weakness, clumsiness, nausea, chills, enlarged pupils, and rapid heartbeat. But it mainly affects the way you think, feel and act. PSILOCYBIN The mushrooms that are its source can be dried and sold as is, or as a powder in capsules. It may make you feel relaxed or tired, and you may have mystical or "religious" experiences. MESCALINE Physical effects include enlarged pupils, high temperature, muscle weakness, and vomiting. Mental effects include rapid mood changes; a sense of separation from your body, and a belief that you are experiencing "truth." Dealers often substitute another drug, sometimes a stronger drug, for the one you think you are getting (e.g. LSD or PCP for mescaline, psilocybin, or MDA). You don't know what you're taking or how it will affect you. *Sometimes for no obvious reason, hallucinogen-users take a "bad trip." They suddenly feel paranoid (seeing "enemies" everywhere) and intensely anxious about losing control. These feelings can lead to bizarre and even violent behavior, especially with PCP and sometimes with LSD. LATLOM Associates Inc. DRIVER TRAINING CENTRE Latcham Centre.
