4 Anti Ecstasy Public Service Spots from US Navy. MDMA (3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is a synthetic, psychoactive drug chemically similar to the stimulant methamphetamine and the hallucinogen mescaline. Street names for MDMA include Ecstasy, Adam, XTC, hug, beans, and love drug. MDMA is an illegal drug that acts as both a stimulant and psychedelic, producing an energizing effect, as well as distortions in time and perception and enhanced enjoyment from tactile experiences. MDMA exerts its primary effects in the brain on neurons that use the chemical serotonin to communicate with other neurons. The serotonin system plays an important role in regulating mood, aggression, sexual activity, sleep, and sensitivity to pain. Research in animals indicates that MDMA is neurotoxic; whether or not this is also true in humans is currently an area of intense investigation. MDMA can also be dangerous to health and, on rare occasions, lethal. Health Hazards: For some people, MDMA can be addictive. A survey of young adult and adolescent MDMA users found that 43 percent of those who reported ecstasy use met the accepted diagnostic criteria for dependence, as evidenced by continued use despite knowledge of physical or psychological harm, withdrawal effects, and tolerance (or diminished response), and 34 percent met the criteria for drug abuse. Almost 60 percent of people who use MDMA report withdrawal symptoms, including fatigue, loss of appetite, depressed feelings, and trouble …

Who Supports Terrorists? Drug Money Funds Terrorism. This spot makes you think about what you are doing if you buy drugs pot included. Worth watching and thinking about. The museum is hosting the DEA’s traveling exhibit called “Target America,” which aims to bring new insight to the damage drugs can cause. American drug money is buying weapons and funding wars. The DEA said that money may fund operations like the WTC bombing of 2001. Meth labs in Mexico, marijuana fields in Somalia and cocaine trade in Colombia share more than American customers. Drugs have become the cash cow for terrorist organizations. Half of the US State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations have drug ties. The DEA has spent decades tracking organizations like Colombia’s Farc. The drug lords net 0 million a year and that money trail leads back to America. “The Farc traded cocaine for a stinger missle,” said Karen Tandy, of the DEA. “Gaeda was trading heroin for a stinger missile. Both of those transactions occurred in the United States.” When terrorists strike, money-laundering experts track the attack. “With the Madrid train bombings, the way the terrorists got the explosives to blow up the train was by trading hashish for explosives,” said Tandy. “It cost 000 worth of hashish, and you saw what happened in the train bombings.” Forensic accounts comb through everything from Taliban tax receipts to money confiscated inside secret compartments. “We’re talking about wire transfers …

Snorting Heroin Leads To The Needle / Educational PSA Video. Public Service Announcement in the public domain. Heroin (Diacetylmorphine) Information: Heroin is the common name of a substance known by the chemical name, diacetylmorphine. Heroin is synthesized from morphine, and morphine is synthesized from opium produced by the plant known by the botanical name Papaver Somniferum (common name opium poppy). Rather than being a different drug, heroin is a method of preparing morphine so that it is absorbed more efficiently by the human body, when injected. If heroin is injected into a human, more morphine will reach the brain than it would if the same amount of morphine were injected. Injecting about 5mg of heroin will produce the same results as injecting 10mg of morphine. Heroin can also be snorted, smoked, or taken orally. However, these other routes of administration are not recommended. They are not as efficient and most of the drug is wasted. If you are not going to inject heroin, an equal amount of morphine will produce similar results. When it is not injected, the heroin is usually totally metabolized by the human body before it can affect the amount of morphine that reaches the brain. So the effects of heroin are nearly the same as an equivalent amount of morphine when snorted, smoked, or taken orally. The time it takes to feel the effects depends on the method of administration. Snorting heroin results in onset within 10-15 minutes. Smoking heroin results in an …
