Description
The adverse effects of illicit drug use have been well-documented. Methamphetamines destroys your teeth, cocaine can cause convulsions, and smoking marijuana irritates the respiratory tract. These short-term consequences pale in comparison, though, to the ultimate price that drug users often pay- a life that's cut short by substance misuse. Indeed, there is an inversely proportional relationship between drug use and life expectancy, proving that recovery is often a matter of life and death. This presentation will discuss the impact on the American lifestyle by a specific list of current drugs. The list of various over the counter (OTC) herbal and pharmaceutical products will include kratom, methamphetamine, xylazine, delta 8 THC, delta 9 THC, delta 10 THC, and Wasp dope. These compounds are known as "gas station drugs" and their pharmacological profiles include dangerous adverse drug effects on human growth and development. The discussion will also include information on America's #1 gas station drug: alcohol.
