Narcotics Narcotics are dangerous and illegal. Narcotics also known as drugs have several forms. You can consume drugs in a shape of a pill, by injecting it with a needle, smoking it and even baking it into a food and then eating it. Let's focus on five drugs marijuana, ecstasy, heroin, mushrooms and LSD. 1. Marijuana Marijuana is a green and brown mix of dried flowers, stems, seeds and leaves from the hemp plant Cannabis sativa. The main active chemical is THC (tretrahydrocannabinol), which moves quickly through the bloodstream to the brain and other organs throughout the body.

Medicines Are Legal Drugs If you've ever been sick and had to take medicine, you already know about one kind of drugs.

Stress What is stress? Physiologists define stress as how the body reacts to a stressor, real or imagined, a stimulus (erguti) that causes stress. Acute (terav) stressors affect an organism in the short term; chronic stressors over the longer term. The term stress was first employed in a biological context by the endocrinologist Hans Selye in the 1930s The effects of stress: Alarm is the first stage. When the threat or stressor is identified or realized, the body's stress response is a state of alarm. During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight-or-flight response (võitle või põgene) Resistance is the second stage. If the stressor persists (püsib), it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping (toimetulemisega) with the stress.
