Overdose
Facts |
 |
 |
| Up to 10,000 patients a year are being treated in Victorian hospitals for drug overdoses, new statistics show. And most have overdosed on prescription or legal drugs, including tranquillisers, anti-depressants and analgesics.
|
 |
| Many complications of heroin addiction are related to the unsanitary administration of the drug. Others are due to the inherent properties of the drug, overdose, or intoxicated behavior accompanying drug use.
|
 |
| Overdose of OxyContin is serious and may require hospitalization. Occasionally, the individual needs to be temporarily hooked to a ventilator to help him breathe until the OxyContin wears off.
|
 |
| You should never break, chew, or crush the OxyContin tablet since this causes a large amount of oxycodone to be released from the tablet all at once, potentially resulting in a dangerous or fatal OxyContin overdose.

Marijuana Overdose

The Drug Awareness Warning Network Annual Report, published by the US federal
government contains a statistical compilation of all drug deaths which occur
in the United States. According to this report, there has never been a death
recorded from the use of marijuana by natural causes. Unlike opiates, barbiturates
or amphetamines, there seems to be little risk from the use of large amounts
of marijuana. When a person smokes too much they feel very tired and lie down.
When people swallow large amounts of hashish, occasionally they get sick to
their stomach.
Marijuana's effect on the user depends on the strength or potency of the
THC it contains. THC potency has increased since the 1970s but has been about
the same since the mid-1980s. The strength of the drug is measured by the
average amount of THC in test samples confiscated by law enforcement agencies.
THC is the chemical in marijuana which makes you feel "high" (which
means experiencing a change in mood and seeing or feeling things differently).
Certain parts of the plant contain higher levels of THC. The flowers or buds
have more THC than the stems or leaves.
