Week 2: Drugs of Abuse

Learning Outcomes

Describe frequently used drugs and the paraphernalia employed to ingest, smoke or inject common illicit and non-illicit drugs.

Overview

This week we will identify five classes of controlled drugs, the drugs in each class and what they do to the person taking them.

There are five classes of drugs. Each class has distinguishing properties, and drugs within each class often produce similar effects. However, all controlled substances, regardless of class, share a number of common features. Again, there is a lot of reading but its worth the effort.
