Drug Facts |
The effects of marijuana are felt within minutes, reach their peak in 10 to 30 minutes, and may linger for two or three hours. Research suggests that people who used ecstasy at least 25 times had lowered serotonin levels for as long as a year after quitting.
Crystal meth effects are similar to those of cocaine but with more power and intensity.
Research in humans suggests that chronic ecstasy use can lead to changes in brain function, affecting cognitive tasks and memory. Ecstasy can also lead to symptoms of depression several days after its use.
Since about 1990, GHB (gamma hydroxybutyrate) has been abused in the U.S. for its euphoric, sedative, and anabolic (body building) effects. It is a central nervous system depressant that was widely available over-the-counter in health food stores during the 1980s and until 1992.
Methadone mimics many of the effects of opiates such as heroin.
The short-term physiological effects of cocaine include constricted blood vessels; dilated pupils; and increased temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure.
The effects of alcohol are experienced differently for each individual depending on their size, sex, body build, and metabolism.
