Example of a drug user

Hello! this is spongebob^_^**
I will describe a typical person who might be using cocaine.
Name: Caine-Caine
gender: Male
Age: 18
Profession: Student (Senior)
Ethnicity: Native American
Likes: Computer games, watching Tv
Dislikes: Studying, Reading books
Favorite Food: Pizza, Mcdonalds
Popularity: Quite popular
Types of friends: Rogues -_-;; his friends use cocaine as well
Which hut?: Hut at the corner of the school where it's dark and hard to be seen
Self esteem: Low
Wealth: Rich
Genetics: Their parents never used cocaine
At first, Caine-Caine was not a cocaine user, but as he gets along with friends who use cocaine, he started it as well. At first, he started it because his friends forced him to do, but after experienceing the euphoria and the high feelings, he continuously use cocaine. He really hated the dysphoria that came after the euphoria. He couldn't withstand it. So, to get rid of the dysphoria, he used cocaine again to get high. He got addicted to it and become a heavy cocaine user. . After using cocaine, he couldn't concentrate in his class at all and daydreamed a lot. Also, in P.E class, the heart bumped so quickly after he ran. One day, he had drug education about cocaine in school and decided to withdraw the cocaine. However, he couldn't stop it because of all the anxiety and depressinos he face. Also, he gets dizzy and extremely tired after quitting cocaine. He's now both physically and psychologically addicted to it. He knows his body is getting sicker and sicker but he can't help it.
**This is a scenario, an example what a cocaine user's life will be like. Don't be like this.

Long Road Till the END

Being a secret agent and telling you about the drug, cocaine. I once again feel that it will be a really hardtime for a drug user to withstand all the troubles till they are free from the addiction. The best way is therefore not to start it at all. For the non-drug addicts, it's hard to understand the addiction and effects of drugs. It's really abstract to them. However, the drug is not an easy thing to recover as you think. Their chemical work inside our body, the addicition caused is way beyond non-drug user's imagination. So, we all have to try to help the drug users rather than just rebuking them for using drugs. Also, most of them might experience really serious hardships that the others don't understand. Finding other alternatives of drugs are the best choice to recover it. So, NEVER EVER start it at the first place, and try to help other users.

How do we help SERIOUS Drug users?

If we want to help a drug abuser who does not want to quit or even acknowledge their drug usage, what do we do? Well, it's very hard to make someone fix their mistakes if one doesn't admit it. The important thing is to make them realise that their behavior is a serious crim that would affect themselves and other people greatly. First, try to findout the background of their drug use. Then, be very understanding and approach them friendly. If you show them that you understand their feelings, they might open their mind and ask you for help. Remember, do not FORCE anything to them.

How do we help other PEOPLE?

If I have a friend or family member admitting their drug use, I will definitely do something to help them. First, I will ask him/her why did he/she use the drugs. I will be a counselor for that person and listen to her/his problems and try to solve it together. Then, I will take him/her to the drug specialist and check his/her health conditions. If his/her health is at serious risk, first I will hospitalize him/her in the drug rehabilitation center. Then, I will inform their parents about the situation, trying my best not to shock them too much. If he/she has difficulties putting drugs away, I will keep telling the bad effects of drugs.

What will happen to the FAMILY?

If someone in my family member was using drugs. There will be a HUGE ISSUE.
1. Emotional Social Issues
I will be definitely disappointed, and avoid talking to he/she. I will advise and force he/she not to take drugs anymore. I will feel never close to her/him as before. I might also feel betrayed, because he/she broke the trust between the family. This might lead to divorce of my parents, or disowning the drug user in my family. I will be also worried about all the rumors that are going to flow around our family.

2. Financial Issues
As we all know, drugs are quite expensive. Especially, when you get addicted to it, and you're using a lot of them everyday, the amount of money you spent for buying drugs become tremendous. He/she in my family will be using our family money, and if we don't provide the money, they might try to steal some. This can lead to real serious problems.

3. Health Issues
The drug user can get really sick because of the druf effects. It means the family have to support the medication for he/she. Also, the drug user can affect other family members to take drugs. Also, , if he/she snort drug in the open place like living room, the other family members can also be affected by the drug and experience health problems.
All this problems can destroy the family values and structure in the community. A lot of families can be separated because of the drug problems.

Where do I get my ENDORPHIN?

How can I get happy and high without taking drugs?
How can I produce Endorphin and remove the stress?

2. Listen to Music♪

History of Cocaine

The cocoa leaf is the source of the cocaine. In traditional Indian cultures, Mama Coca was considered as a sacred goddess who could bless humans with her power. Before the coca harvest, the harvester would sleep with a woman to make sure Mama Coca would be in a favorable mood. Typically, a decoction of coca and saliva was rubbed onto the male organ to prolong erotic ecstasy. Traditionally, the leaves have been chewed for social, mystical, medicinal and religious purposes. Coca has even been used to provide a measure of time and distance. Native travelers sometimes described a journey in terms of the number of mouthfuls of coca typically chewed in making the trip. This leaf was also used by South American Indigenous people since thousand of years ago. The ancient Peruvian mummies have remains of cocoa leaves, and pottery from the time period depicts humans, cheeks bulged with something in their mouth chewing. This shows that cocoa leaves have been used in this culture.

What is Cocaine?

Cocaine is a strong stimulant of natural origin, which is a white crystalline powder. Specifically, it is a dopamin reuptake inhibitor. Because of the way it affects the mesolimbic reward pathway. cocaine is addictive. The chemical makeup within the body must readjust itself to be able to consume a foreign substance. The user becomes physically hooked to the drug from the very first use.

• Injected - using a needle to release the drug directly into the bloodstream.

You can get addict to computer games or gambling. This is related to the psychological aspect. However, the drugs includes both psychological and physical. There are certain chemicals that causes addiction, and usually all the drugs do that.

Remember the addiction to drugs are FATAL, it KILLS

Why Drugs?

There are many reasons. May be the biggest factor will be the curiosity.

• To avoid feeling bored - some may think that drug taking is daring and exciting.
  


• Peer pressure, to join in with others and belong to a ‘special’ group.
  


• To feel more self confident.
  


• As an escape from problems at home and school, or as an escape from outside pressures.



• To relax and ‘feel good’.
  


• Ease of access to drugs.
  


• Some medications, such as sleeping pills and painkillers, are physically addictive.

REMEMBER that drugs are NOT the solutions to these problems.

The illegal drugs are NEVER WORTH your health

What parts of the brain are affected by Cocaine?

This is the overall limbic system part that is affected by Cocaine.Well, cocaine seriously affect the rewarding system which is specifically called the "limbic system". The limbic system produces dophamine, which is a hormone that causes extreme pleasure. When cocaine enters the area of the brain where the dopamine is located, it blocks the reuptake pumps that remove the dopamine from the synapse of the nerve cell. As a result, more dopamine gathers at the synapse and gives feelings of intense pleasure.
