The term “dabbing” refers to smoking extracts from what drug?
A. Marijuana
B. K2/Spice
C. Cocaine
D. Methamphetamine
A.
- Smoking THC-rich resins extracted from the marijuana plant is called “dabbing.” These extracts come in various forms and consistencies, such as oils, gooey liquids, waxes, and soft or hard solids. These extracts can deliver large amounts of THC to the body, and their use has sent people to the emergency room. Preparing these extracts is also dangerous because it usually involves butane (lighter fluid). A number of people have caused fires and explosions and have been seriously burned from using butane to make extracts at home

Which of these is a symptom of alcohol overdose?
A. Irregular breathing
B. Confusion
C. Vomiting
D. All of the above
D.
- Alcohol overdose occurs when there is so much alcohol in the bloodstream that areas of the brain controlling basic life-support functions, such as breathing, heart rate, and temperature control, begin to shut down. Symptoms of alcohol overdose include confusion; difficulty remaining conscious; vomiting; seizures; trouble breathing; slow heart rate; clammy skin; dulled responses, such as no gag reflex (which prevents choking); and extremely low body temperature.

A. Until around age 18
B. Well into the 20s
C. Around age 35
D. Until around age 1
B.
Research shows that young people’s brains keep developing well into their 20s. Alcohol can alter this development, potentially affecting both the brain’s structure and its function, meaning how well it processes information. This can cause cognitive or learning problems later in life. This is especially a risk when people start drinking young and drink heavily
How does alcohol affect the teenage brain in the short term? Choose all that are correct.
A. It compromises decision-making and the ability to recognize danger.
B. It acts to increase attention and focus.
C. It improves memory.
D. It improves vision when consumed in small amounts.
A.
In the short term, a young person who drinks may have decreased motor coordination and make poor, and often risky, decisions, resulting in tragic consequences such as injuries, violence, or death. It also slows down a person’s ability to recognize and respond to potential danger. Alcohol can also have long-term effects that are permanent

Some synthetic drugs are illegally made in laboratories. Check all drugs that are synthetics.
A. K2/Spice
B. Bath salts
C. Fentanyl
D. MDMA (Molly or Ecstasy)
E. All of the above
E.
All of these drugs are often made illegally in laboratories. Fentanyl is especially dangerous, because it is an opioid that is 50–100 times more powerful than morphine (a drug often used to treat severe pain). Drug dealers sometimes add it to heroin and other drugs. People using street drugs often don’t realize that fentanyl has been added to what they are buying. This leads to a lot of overdoses because fentanyl, especially when added to other drugs, can slow or stop a person’s breathing.
True or False
