H.17 The psychoactive drug sold as methampheramine ( speed ), CI0H,N, undergoes a series of reactions in the body the net result of these reactions is the oxidation of solid methamphetamine by oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas, liquid water, and nitrogen gas. Write the balanced equation for this net reaction.

We have talked with people who participated in our study over the last year. As you know, many of them have experimented with a wide variety of psychoactive drugs, including MBDB. When asked about MBDB their response seems to be lukewarm in terms of how it compares to subjective effects, and whether these effects are comparable to those of MDMA. Is that accurate ...

The goal of this chapter is to review recent morphologic studies in which current anatomic me ods have been used to characterize the neurotoxic effects of psychoactive amphetamine derivatives. Several strategies combining anatomic with biochemical data have been employed to analyze the effects of selected drugs in this class. These studies show that psychoactive drugs that have selective neurotoxic effects can be useful experimental tools to study the neural mechanisms of elusive brain functions such as affective state control and perceptual integration. 

It is not uncommon for individuals under the influence of phencyclidine to come to the attention of the criminal justice system. Increasingly, there is a need for forensic experts to advise and testify in cases involving PCP and other psychoactive drugs. With the publication of a paper on acute intoxication and fatalities from PCP use, we began to receive requests from attorneys to evaluate PCP-related cases (Burns et al. 1975). We have now consulted in over 400 civil and criminal cases and have testified in municipal, superior, and Federal courts from Hawaii to Washington, D.C. 

As we have seen, low doses of caffeine (75 to 300 mg) have been shown to increase positive mood states,153 with higher doses leading to more and more positive mood states, at least up to a point.155-265 At the very high levels of consumption (greater than 500 mg) seen in heavy caffeine users,157 the drug can elevate anxiety and depress affect.34 Our more general review of the mood state literature above leaves little doubt that caffeine is a psychoactive drug.
