Types of drugs
Drugs are probably as old as mankind. There have been drugs in practically all civilizations.
A distinction must be made between legal and illegal drugs, depending on the country and culture concerned. Alcohol, for instance, while popular in most parts of the world, is prohibited in many Muslim countries.
Legal drugs in Ukraine - and most Western countries - are caffeine (coffee), nicotine (tobacco) and alcohol (beer, wine, spirits) as well as certain medical tablets which can be obtained without prescription. Certain glues and solvents are likewise misused as drugs, especially among 12 to 16-year-olds.
There are four large groups of illegal drugs, three of which are based on plants (hemp, poppy and coca), with the fourth group being synthetic drugs.
Hemp (cannabis) is the raw material for hashish and marihuana. These drugs are mainly smoked mixed with tobacco as «joints». Consumption produces, among other things, hallucinations and mental disorders, and, like alcohol, impairs fitness to drive.
The opium poppy is the base for opium and heroin. Both drugs have been used as pain killers, but they are extremely addictive.
Opium is usually smoked while heroin is in­jected. Many heroin addicts contract AIDS because they share syringes. Long-term heroin abuse leads to physical breakdown and, eventually, death.
Cocaine is extracted from the leaves of the coca bush and is usually snorted. After a brief moment of euphoria, cocaine users suffer, among other things, from hallucina­tions, panic and persecution mania, which, in turn, often produce aggressiveness.
Crack (cocaine heated together with baking powder) causes addiction right from the beginning.
There are many synthetic drugs, like LSD and ecstasy, and nobody knows what drugs chemists will come up with next. The so-called designer drugs are specially designed variations of illegal drugs. The clandestine manufacturers seek to escape the provi­sions of the controlled substances acts in the consumers' countries.
Drug addicts who want to get clean often suffer from severe and painful withdrawal symptoms. This is why many rehabilitation schemes are not very successful. As drugs are extremely expensive, «junkies» often turn to crime like theft and burglary to finance their habit. Female addicts frequently «earn» the necessary money through prostitution.

OUR    INFORMATION

All drugs carry RISKS

• The effects may be unexpected.
• Many drugs sold on the «street» have been mixed with other substances , so users can never be sure what they are getting.
• Users can become tolerant to some drugs. This means their bodies have become so used to the drug they need to take more to get the effect they want.
• Users may overdose ( take too much for their bodies to handle). With alcohol, heroin, gases, glues and aerosols, an overdose can prove fatal.

    
WHAT  TO   DO   IN  AN   EMERGENCY

Drugs affect everyone differently. Sometimes people suffer a bad reaction. It’s important to know what to do if you find somebody  ill after taking  drug.
Amphetamines (speed), cannabis, ecstasy, LSD and magic mushrooms can sometimes make the user feel tense and panicky. If this happens:

•  Calm them and be reassuring. Try not to panic. Speak in normal voice.
• Explain that the feeling will pass.
• Encourage them to settle in a quiet, dimly lit room.
• If they start breathing very quickly, calm them down and tell them to take long, slow breath.

Heroin, tranquilizers and misuse of gases, glues and aerosols can make the user feel very drowsy. If it happens:

• Calm them and be reassuring. Speak in a low, quiet voice and try not to panic.
•  Don’t frighten or startle them, or let them exert themselves.
• NEVER give coffee to rouse them.
• If symptoms persist, place them in recovery position (on the side), so their tongue cannot fall back and prevent breathing.
•  Don’t hesitate to call the ambulance if they don’t start to become more alert.

Where drugs are hidden
Drug traffickers are very ingenious when it comes to concealing the stuff. Swallowing drug-filled condoms or balloons is quite an old trick, sometimes resulting in death for the courier. There is no cavity in vehicles which has not been used as a hiding place. Police and customs officials have found drugs concealed in specially prepared base­ball bats, books, cameras, dolls, tubes of toothpaste, to name but a few. Commercial consignments have also been used: drugs were found, for example, in cans of olive oil and peanut butter, in containers with frozen fruit pulp, in hollowed-out aircraft pro­pellers and elephants' tusks. Drugs from Latin America are frequently flown into the USA in small aircraft and dropped at prearranged sites.

THE LAW ABC ABOUT DRUGS in USA

  A first offender who is caught in possession of controlled ( illegal) drug, and admits that he \ she has committed a criminal offence, may receive a formal warning from the police  or a formal caution. If a person between the age 10 and 17 commits further criminal offences, including selling or smuggling drugs, they could be charged by the police and dealt with by a Youth Court (USA).
Keeping drugs for another person and handing them back could result in a charge for unlawful supply.   If you take illegal drugs from someone to prevent them from committing an offence, you must either destroy them or take the drug to the police as soon as possible.
The Misuse of Drugs Act divides illegal drugs into three classes and provides for maximum penalties as follows:

 DRUGS CLASS A: 

• Amphetamines ( Speed) / if prepared for injection/
• Cocaine & Crack
• Ecstasy
• Heroin
• LSD
• Magic mushrooms

DRUGS CLASS B:

• Amphetamines ( Speed)
• Cannabis

DRUGS CLASS C:

• Anabolic steroids
• Benzodiazepines

Maximum penalties:
Drugs Class A: Possession: 7 years of prison and\  or a fine;
possession  with intent to supply, or supply: life imprisonment and \ or a fine;
Drugs Class B: Possession: 5 years of prison and \ or a fine;
рossession with intent to supply, or supply: 14 years prison and \or a fine;       
Drugs Class C: Possession: 2 years of prison and \ or fine;
рossession with intent to supply, or supply: 5 years of prison and \ or a fine.
Ex. 13. Translate the text into English with the help of a dictionary:

Боротьба з нелегальним обігом наркотиків
та їх вживанням
Законодавства багатьох держав світу розглядають пристрасть до наркотиків скоріше за патологічне явище, ніж злочин.
Так, у Франції, Італії, Швейцарії, Люксембурзі прийом наркотиків забороняється, але в Італії ця заборона тільки констатується законом, а покарання за його порушення не передбачено. У Великобританії та Ірландії кримінально караним є тільки прийом опіуму. У Бельгії кримінально-правова заборона розповсюджується на групове вживання наркотиків.
Суворість санкцій за злочини з наркотиками є різною. Так, у Великобританії строк позбавлення волі, що призначається за виробництво наркотиків, коливається у межах від 5 до 14 років, у США – від 1 до 15 років.

Ex. 14. You have to prepare a discussion with teenage students about drugs. Find more detailed information about the commonest types of drugs:

Cannabis
Cannabis sativa, the hemp plant, grows wild throughout most of the tropic and temperate regions of the world. It is a single species. This plant has long been cultivated for the tough fiber of the stem, the  seed used in feed mixtures, and the oil as an ingredi­ent of paint, as well as for its biologically active  substances, most highly concentrated in the leaves and resinous flowering tops. The plant material has been used as a drug for centuries. Cannabis products are usually smoked in the form of loosely rolled cigarettes "joints". They may be used alone or in combination with other substances. They may also be administered orally, but are re­ported to be about three times more potent when smoked. The effects are felt within minutes, reach their peak in 10 to 30 minutes, and may linger for 2 or 3 hours.
Marijuana
The term marijuana is used to refer to the cannabis plant and to any part or extract of it that produces somatic or psychic changes in humans. A tobacco-like substance produced by drying the leaves and flowering tops of the plant, marijuana varies significantly in its potency, depending on the source and selectivity of plant materials used.

Hashish
The Middle East is the main source of hashish. It consists of the drug-rich resinous secretions of the cannabis plant, which are collected, dried, and then compressed into a variety of forms, such as balls, cakes, or cookie-like sheets.
Hashish Oil

            The name is used by illicit drug users and dealers but is a misnomer in suggesting any resemblance to hashish other than its objective of further concentration. Hashish oil is produced by a process of repeated extraction of cannabis plant materials to yield a dark viscous liquid. In terms of its psychoactive  effect, a drop or two of this liquid on a cigarette is equal to a single “joint" of marijuana.

LSD      (LSD-25, lysergide)
LSD is an abbreviation of the German expression for lysergic acid diethylamide. LSD was first synthesized in 1938. Its psychotomimetic effects were discovered in 1943 when a chemist accidentally took some LSD. As he began to experience the effects now known as a “trip,” he was aware of vertigo and an intensification of light. Closing his eyes, he saw a stream of fantastic images of extraordinary vividness accompanied by a kaleidoscopic play of colors. This condition lasted for about two hours.
LSD is usually sold in the form of tablets, thin squares of gelatin (“window panes”), or impregnated paper (“blotter acid”). The average effective oral dose is from 30 to 50 micrograms, but the amount per dosage unit varies greatly. The effects of higher doses persist for 10 to 12 hours.Tolerance develops rapidly.
COCAINE
The most potent stimulant of natural origin, cocaine is extracted from the leaves of the coca plant (Erythroxylon coca).
Pure cocaine, the principal psychoactive ingredient, was first isolated in the 1880s. It was used as an anesthetic in eye surgery for which no previously known drug had been suitable.
Illicit cocaine is usually distributed as a whiter crystalline powder, often diluted by a variety of other  ingredients, the most common of which are sugars such as lactose, inositol, mannitol, and local anes­thetics such as lidocaine. The frequent adulteration is to increase volume and thus to multiply profits.
The drug is most commonly administered by being “snorted”
through  the  nasal passages. Symptoms of repeated use in this manner
may  resemble  the congested nose of a common cold. The intensity of the
psychological  effects of  co­caine, as with many psychoactive drugs,
depends  on the rate of entry into the blood. Intravenous injection or
smoking  produces an  almost immediate intense experience. Cocaine
hydrochloride, the usual form in which cocaine is sold, while soluble
in water and sometimes injected, is fairly insensitive to heat.
“Crack”, or cocaine base in the form of chips, chunks or “rocks”, is usually vaporized in a pipe or smoked with plant material in a cigarette or a “joint”.
Cocaine-paraphernalia (cocaine snorting kit)

 

 

 ecstasy

One of the most popular of synthetic drugs  today is perhaps ecstasy. At first it was considered to be harmless but later on it proved to be extremely harmful for health. It is not completely removed from the body. The expressive word « ecstasy» only designates a whole group of narcotics from the category of amphetamines. They are strong psycho - stimulants. Ecstasy is comparatively cheap which makes it even more dangerous.

 

 

 

 

Peyote and Mescaline

The primary active ingredient of the peyote cactus is the hallucinogen mescaline. It is derived from the fleshy parts or buttons of this plant, which has been employed by Indians in northern Mexico from the earliest recorded time as a part of traditional religious rites. The Native American Church, which uses pe­yote in religious ceremonies, has been exempted from certain provisions of the CSA. Peyote, or mescal buttons, and mescaline should not be confused with mescal, the colorless Mexican liquor distilled from the leaves of maguey plants. Usually ground into a powder, peyote is taken orally. Mescaline can also be produced synthetically. A dose of 350 to 500 mg of mescaline produces illusions and hallucinations last­ing from 5 to 12 hours.
Psilocybin and Psilocyn

Like the peyote cactus, Psilocybe mushrooms have been used for centuries in traditional Indian rites. When they are eaten, these “sacred” or “magic” mushrooms affect mood and perception in a manner similar to mescaline and LSD. Their active ingredi­ents, psilocybin and psilocyn, are chemically related to LSD. They can now be made synthetically, but much of what is sold under these names on the illicit market consists of other chemical compounds.

THE PROBLEM OF DRUG ABUSE IN UKRAINE
Many countries in the world are now confronted with a serious problem of drug abuse, despite a great deal of effort made by the agencies concerned. But drug abuse is only one constituent of this phenomenon which is composed of drug abuse, narcobusiness and narcomafia.
The problem of smuggling and the illegal transit of drugs through Ukraine has becomе very serious. Some years ago the Ukrainian militia mentioned in its reports on fighting drug trafficking, that there were two varieties of this trouble: cannabis ( marijuana and hashish)  and the extract of poppy straw. Today the situation has changed. Drastic  narcotics are becoming  widespread  in Ukraine. Our special  services have  revealed some narcotic smuggling routes from Columbia the “Golden Triangle” ( Burma, Thailand, Laos) and “Golden Crescent” (Iran, Afganistan, Pakistan, India) countries. Apart from the problem of hard narcotics like cocaine and heroin there is another dangerous problem of spreading synthetic drugs and first of all amphetamines. And unfortunately this problem is  « simplified» now  by local chemists.
The international drug traffickers together with the Ukrainian criminal structures try to use the technological and scientific potential of our country’s chemical industry in order to organise clandestine laboratories on manufacturing heavy drugs.
Today the accent has transferred from fighting drug addicts to fighting drug dealers.
The criminal investigation bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine revealed about 308 thousand crimes in 2003. 39,9 thousand of them, that is one out of eight crimes (13%), were drug related crimes, including 20,9% serious crimes.
During the last 5 years the number of crimes, which have been committed by the drug addicts and persons intoxicated by drugs,has considerably increased .
The major elements of our national drug strategy should be law enforcement, international cooperation, education and prevention, treatment and research. Fighting drug abuse demands the coordination between customs, police, judicial bodies, health service and other authorities. For this purpose there has been created the Interdepartmental Drug Data Basis in Ukraine.
The drug fighting laws and legislation have been made in our country. These laws provide for control of smuggling and illicit trafficking, measures for prevention of drug abuse, treatment and rehabilitation of addicts etc.
Now there are 70,000 addicts in Ukraine but in fact the figure should be multiplied by 9.4 ( the coefficient used in all countries).
Despite the financial difficulties our law enforcement agencies do their best in fighting drug abuse.

Arresting a drug trafficker
Border Guards Officer Anton Hagerenko - AH - and customs inspector Mychailo Zapenko - MZ-of the Kyiv Airport Customs Station are checking incoming travel­lers. Turkish citizen Yilmaz Suley -YS- has been asked to hand over his passport. His identity is then checked with the Information System via computer.
Officer Hagerenko now checks the passport with a document tester and finds out that the print shows some irregularities. It is partly blurred and shows razor marks. He then asks Mr Suley to allow his clothing and his luggage to be searched. Officer Hagerenko has become suspicious and believes that the search will produce material which will help him to establish the traveller's identity.
AH: Please open your bag, Mr Suley. I need to search it.
YS: Well, if you have to ..... . I've nothing to hide.
Officer Hagerenko puts the bag on the table and finds it unusually heavy. After having opened it, he finds various ID papers, among them a Turkish ID card, an Egyptian pass­port and a Lebanese driving licence in a side pocket. Then he detects a hidden com­partment at the bottom of the bag.
AH: What's this?
YS: What do you mean?
Officer opens the compartment and finds several plates, wrapped and vacuum-sealed.
AH: Looks like drugs, doesn't it?
YS: I don't know anything about that. I refuse to answer any more questions.
AH: It is your right to remain silent. I will hand you over to customs, they will deal with you now.
Officer Hagerenko calls a customs officer, who is busy with luggage checks. He explains that he has a Turkish citizen here, trying to smuggle in about eight kilos of drugs.
AH: Hello Mychailo! Have a look at this stuff. I'm sure it'll interest you.
MZ: Sure, looks pretty much like drugs. I'll take over now. Please write your report and I'll take this gentleman to our office.
