Topic

The course aimed to provide general terms of drug and substance abuse and present its physiological and biochemical background. We are going to review systematically the most important pharmacological features of the drugs of abuse, the symptoms, dangers and possible treatments of abuse. The drugs are discussed in the following sections: opioids, anxiolytics, sedatohypnotics, inhalants, alcohol, psychomotor stimulants (amphetamin and derivates, cocain, coffein, nicotin), psychedelics and hallucinogens (LSD, mescalin, phencyclidin), cannabis. After the discussion of pharmacology, the participants can hear about the practical problems of drug abuse. At the end of the course the students should present 5-10 minute ppt presentations from different abuse-related topics.
