    Study Notes

    Module 4: Drugs of Abuse

    • Drugs of abuse are classified in several ways, including by origin, nature, usage, active compound and mode of action.

    Classification of Drugs of Abuse

    • Based on Origin:

      • Naturally occurring
      • Semi-synthetic
      • Synthetic
    • Based on Acidic/Basic Nature:

      • Acidic drugs
      • Basic drugs
    • Based on Usages:

      • Predator drugs
      • Club drugs
      • Human performance altering drugs
      • Inhalants
    • Based on Chemistry of Active Compound:

      • Alkaloid
      • Cannabinoids
      • Others
    • Based on Mode of Action:

      • Narcotics/Analgesics
      • Stimulants
      • Depressants
      • Hallucinogens
      • Anabolic Steroids

    Classification by Schedules/Regulations

    • This classification system categorizes drugs based on their medical use, control on prescriptions, required security and potential for abuse and addiction.

    Cannabis

    • Common names: hemp, marihuana, marijuana, pot, gandia, grass, chanvre etc.

    • Origin: Believed to originate from a Portuguese or Spanish word for intoxicating.

      • Present in the plant, Cannabis sativa, also known as hemp.
    • Commercial Value: Hemp is valuable for its fiber, which can be made into ropes, more than its marijuana use.

    • Active Constituent: Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

    • Active Constituents/Principles: Cannabinol, cannabidiol, Cannabidiolic acid, THC.

      • THC is the most potent psychoactive component.
      • Cannabinoids are not alkaloids.
    • Concentraton of THC: Varies in different parts of the cannabis plant - highest in resinous extract, then flowers, leaves, stems, and lowest in seeds.

    • Preparations:

      • Bhang (paste made from leaves and flowers with water or milk)
      • Ganja (dried leaves and flowers)
      • Charas (resin extracted from the plant)
      • Hashish oil (highly concentrated extract made using solvents)

    Cocaine

    • Classification by Schedules/Regulations: See page 31.

    • Coca Alkaloids: Alkaloids found in coca plant (Erythroxyum coca) are either tropane or pyrrolidine types.

      • Major alkaloid: Cocaine (0.3-1.5%; avg. 0.8%)
    • Mechanism of Action: Cocaine blocks the reuptake of neurotransmitters, specifically dopamine. It results in prolonged and intense effects.

    • Signs & Symptoms: Increased alertness, energy, euphoria, restlessness, insomnia; but also dangerous side effects such as anxiety, psychosis, and cardio-vascular risks.

    Opioids

    • Types:

      • Natural: Opium (morphine, codeine, thebaine)
      • Semisynthetic: Heroin, hydromorphone (morphine) and oxycodone, etorphine (thebaine)
      • Synthetic: Fentanyl, methadone, pentazocine, meperidine
      • Endogenous: Endorphins
    • Opium (Morphine):

      • Chief constituent of opium.
      • Isolated in 1806.
      • 10-20% of all opium alkaloids.
      • Derived from the Greek god of dreams.
      • A phenanthrene alkaloid.

    Forensic Analysis of Cannabis

    • Physical Examination: Identification based on morphological characteristics (color, texture, form) or chemical analysis of cannabinoids (THC, CBN, CBD)
    • Microscopic Examination: Identification of non-glandular hairs, fragments of plant material.
    • Colour tests: tests using specific chemicals and observing color changes to determine and differentiate different drug types.
    • TLC and GC: used for separating and quantifying drug compounds.

    General Information on Drug Comparison

    • Stimulants: Increase brain activity, alertness, and energy. (e.g., cocaine, amphetamines, caffeine)
    • Depressants: Slow down brain activity, reduce arousal. (e.g., alcohol, benzodiazepines, barbiturates)
    • Narcotics: Relieve pain and produce euphoria. (e.g., morphine, heroin, codeine)
    • Hallucinogens: Alter perception, mood, and cognition. (e.g., LSD, psilocybin, PCP)
