a substance used to produce a high
a substance that can have both positive and negative effects
A substance taken for a desired effect (other than food, water, or air). There are many types of drugs. Some drugs are taken for reasons that are beneficial to the user. Some are addictive, and others are not. Drugs that alter behavior and/or mood are referred to as psychoactive drugs. Whatever the type of drug, the term drug does not alone imply a substance that is illegal or harmful.
The magnitude of a drug’s effect is…
how intensely the user feels the drug’s effects
the rate of absorption of the drug into the user’s system
the level of quality of the drug
the dosage of the drug
How intensely the user feels the drug’s effects. The intensity of the drug, or how much the user feels its effects, depends upon several factors. Generally, however, the greater the dosage, the greater the intensity of the response. The peak effect is the highest intensity level at a given dosage of the drug.
What does metabolism do?
maintains the composition of the drug
alters the composition of the drug
alters the drug so it cannot be eliminated from the body
maintains the peak intensity of the drug
Alters the composition of the drug. Metabolism is a process by which an ingested drug is changed into a form that can be removed from the user’s body. The faster the drug moves through the user’s system, the sooner the effects of the drug are diminished.
Which of the following routes of administration achieves the longest-lasting results for the user? oral oral and nasal injection inhalation and nasal
Oral. Many users prefer the oral route of administration because the effects of the drug tend to be experienced for a lengthier period of time. The effects of the drug might be less intense with this route, but the duration of the effects (and ease of administration) overrides that concern for many users.
A user’s expectation of how a drug will make the user feel…
can enhance a drug’s intensity, but not diminish it
has a significant effect upon the user’s experience of the drug
can diminish a drug’s intensity, but not enhance it
is of little significance
Has a significant effect upon the user’s experience of the drug. Studies have shown that one’s expectation of what a drug will do has a significant effect upon how that drug is experienced by the user. For example, if the user expects the drug to have a relaxing effect, the user is likely to feel relaxed after ingesting the drug.
