Final Exam (Slides) PSYCH
GHB
- CNS depressant, first used by bodybuilders because of the possibility that it had growth-hormone-stimulating effects - today, is an illicit drug - the depressant effects have made it attractive as a club drug - involvement as a potential date-rape drug
features of LSD

stages of change
- precontemplation - contemplation - preparation - action - maintenance
inhalants
- present day abuse involves a wide range of commercial products (gasoline, glues and other adhesives, household cleaning compounds, aerosol sprays, and solvents) - usually cheap, readily available, and easily concealed - intoxicating effects when inhaled are rapid - principal dangers lie in the behavioral consequences of intoxication and in the possibility of asphyxiation when abused via airproof bag held over nose and mouth
barbiturates

benzodiazepines
- these drugs selectively affect specific receptors in the brain instead of acting as general depressants of the nervous system - when taken with alcohol, dangerous synergistic effects - produce effects by binding to receptors int he brain that are sensitive to GABA
