metaphetaninen is the most resistant to tratment, associaciated with skin, hallucinations, picking at ur sking, creating fold in skin, considerable damage to moking crystal meth n producing a dry mouth n cause a deteriation of teeth n even lossof them, loss of appetaite, they are very malnurished, -barbituates (sedatives) not as common as it used to be, but its more common in mddle age groups, used to facilitate sleep, there are people who overdose on this, slowing of central nervous systemns (death or comma)-particulary when combined with other sedative specially when used with alcohol, potential for oversedation -more common in the 1950's n 60's (marlyn monroe n elvis presley) sluggish ness, mood shift, -usually in a pill form -HALLUCINOGENS: mariguana (mild hallucigen) LSD n related drus-altered of perceptios, colors are brighter, sounds are more amplifight, assult on senses tastes become stronger-for some u have outter body expreince (LSD , mushrooms) strange perceptual experiences, u get a stupar like feelings-hallucigens : mariguana, lsd, pcp, psiloSLIDE 31

extacy: its a hallicigen and a stimulant-enhance tactile sensations, euphorc feeling, increased sociability, twitching n mouth clenching-u have increased energy other side effects, -energy is high but then there is a crash, less inhabitions, its attributed to the hallucigent aspect to it, -a crach after using a drug-LSD-strong perceptional distortions (believe they can free, likelyhood of flashback later one on life, can have strong perceptual flashbakcs from LSD)

-mushrooms n osilocybin(native american used it, also for religous purposes)

-CAUSES:for alcohol we have suppor tthta alcohol dependence runs in families, more genetic link for men than women, rates of alsohol dependence increase 12.4% when parents has no contact with alsohol, 29.5 (when one parent) n 41.5 (when both parent have alcohol ause or depence) 5 (0 if niether parents) ->12 (for one parent) ->20 (both paernts) in women -not all finding have been consistent than dont show increased rates, -we are not sure how strong the role of genetic factors is

-alchol n other substances axtivate reward system of the brain, n what we see is that alcoholoc these is a graterstress recution response, relation response, they ahve a more positive response, theres something about a person who is a pre-alcoholic like it more -they might have abnornalities, not enough dopamine being produced-

mariguana(hallucigen) -derived frim cannanissativa, active ingridents is THC, when smoked its effects is 30 min n last for 3 hours, when eating it takes longer (45 min or 1 hours) to reach the systemn n it will last longer-hashish 6 times stronger than mariguana -increased appetatire, can increase anxiety n lead to panic attacks, not having

full control ncreasing heart reatehappy, hungry sleepy-euphoria, relaxation, slowed reation, loss of coordination, diatrotion in sence sof time vision n hearing, if strong enough cykosis-mariuana a gate way drug? -campaing agaitn mariaguana because drung depence begins with mariguana-mariguana because it has a lesser impact it opens a teen desire to try something else (also the explantion that chrnocni use that it changes our neurotramiter system n it creates more neruotramitters for dopamine)-at baseline their is dysfunction in the mesocorticolimci dopnamine pathmway-the more u use, the more it will structurally change neurtramitter systmem -it may be a combination of bothe factors as well-it wants more of the pleasere response or stimulus so there are more receptors-not enough eveidence for biollogical factors from psych prespective-our psych causal modelsare operant conditioning: the use of drugs can be a sttrong reinforce,(negative reinforcemtn escaping negative feeling, taking away pain) n positive reinfrocement feeling good, want to belong to a group, positive feling in the short terms-it can also be reinfroced by cultures (to fit in) -some asians dont have the enzyme t break down alcohol (flush effect, positive reinforment not reinforced) -classical conditioning: condiitoned reponses at certain time in the clock, when the time in the clock u start elicitingresponsonse) classical consitioned -cognitive factors ex: what u observe, immitate people u admitre, learn from others, want o be like other, role motherscan be a family component (parents did it so u model, social learning theory -cognitive -expectancies : its going ot get me hrough the day, make me feel better-parenting:a) lack of monotoring: leads to teen usinfg drugs or alcoholb) prenting alcoholism associated with unctrollable events , parenting n drug use)
