I have to do a presentation on any type of drug and I was wondering what are some cool/interesting drugs that I should research?

BTW, I can't pick viagra or any illegal drugs since so many of my classmates chose those already.

aman	some are Lortab, Cocaine, Vicodin, Xanax, Ativan, hydrocodone, and obviuosly, alchol

Tara M	oxycotton adaral ccc robatussin

ashwin.alam	ibeprofin

StephB	caffine

Georgia B	Morphine... lots of interesting things to write about Morphine, like how people use it to overdose and kill themselves when their in hospital.

Dirt	I strongly recommend 2CE I doubt if anyone in your class has picked that one and i've found it quite interesting.

123	allegra and how it contributes to teen suicide thoughts and depression.

kassie	what other cool drugs are there except the illegal ones?

James R.	Salvia. check it out.

Jarfullofcrazyness	How about Warfarin there are two types of Warfarin one of them is Coumadin. Coumadin is an oral anticoagulant that inhibits the synthesis of clotting factors, thus preventing blood clot formation. Blood clots can occur in the veins of the lower extremities, usually after periods of immobility. These clots can break off and become lodged in the blood vessels of the lung (pulmonary embolism), causing shortness of breath, chest pain, and even life-threatening shock. Blood clots can also occur in the atria of the heart during atrial fibrillation (see Atrial Fibrillation article), and around artificial heart valves. One of these clots can also break off and obstruct a blood vessel in the brain, causing an embolic stroke with paralysis. Coumadin is important in preventing the formation of blood clots. It is also important to prevent extension of clots already formed, and to minimize the risk of blood clot embolization to other vital organs such as the lungs and brain. it saved my life! gud luck!

Bettee62	ESTROGEN

mhowie01	Lithium? Premarin? Thalidomide? Those all might have interesting stories to tell.

ultimate_mad_dog	Oxycontin. It's a prescription drug that can very easily be abused. It's an opiate like heroin, but not as powerful. Still its definitely worth looking into.

♥ Mel ♥	HAPPY PILLS!

1337 h4x0r	umm............well do cough medicen becuase it has a good thing in it that makes you hallucienate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The friendly atheist.	lol I'm not surprised some kid already picked Viagra umm well do sleeping pills =] i find those interesting.

PiZaL .	msp

MarD.	Do something on dependence on legal drugs, and use the guy who just died as an example....

me	red dawn. its a Natural Vitamin/mineral/energy/mood enhancement drink. its legal and messes you up.

Angela&Marie	heroin!! crack. Adderall. ecstacy

leafs_freak	I would do it on Oxycontin. It is really addictive and would be easy to get a lot of info on. Lots of people get addicted to it and it is prescribed by doctors.

brotherglider	PCP / Angel Dust one of the most deadliest drugs. Some info: http://www.cmcsb.com/pcpangel.htm

Assley	How about Prozac, its like the universal happy pill lol

Baby	Tylenol

alfonso723	A good one is Salvia Divinorum, it is a drug that people in the U.S. recently started experimenting with, it is a hallucinogen and the funny thing is that it is completely legal in most of the United States.

LUV MY HORSES	Tylenol!! Lol, i find it pretty interesting or Morphine that too

KaylahR	Morphine-that would b very interesting

HannerBananer	Alcohol

Matt D	vicodin or SHROOOMS

rd363	did someone pick LSD yet? i did a project on Ketamine and GHB in 9th grade. they're date rape drugs but not that interesting. peyote is kind of interesting i guess.

On1xB	ibuprofen is a pretty interesting drug, as is Ramelteon... one of the neatest things about Ibuprofen is its ability to actually block the production of prostaglandins (the hormones which cause the uterus to contract, causing cramps during a woman's period)... and it's OD symptoms and what it does to your body are interesting Ramelteon is a sleep Aid that is actually non-narcotic (the reason why doctors can have samples in office) and works by pretty much blasting your Melatonin receptors wide open (and believe me, it works decently)... another cool one is Lovenox, which is a blood thinner patients can give themselves at home... cheers and bonne chance!
