         <description><![CDATA[<div>- The lungs absorb inhaled chemicals into the bloodstream very quickly, sending them throughout the brain and body. <br>Short term:<br>- The high usually lasts only a few minutes, causing people to continue the high by inhaling repeatedly, which is very dangerous. Repeated use in one session can cause a person to lose consciousness and possibly even die.<br><br>Long term: <br>- Some chemicals leave the body quickly, but others stay for a long time and get absorbed by fatty tissues in the brain and central nervous system. Over the long term, the chemicals can cause serious problems:<br><br></div><ul><li><strong>Damage to nerve fibers.</strong> Long-term inhalant use can break down the protective sheath around certain nerve fibers in the brain and elsewhere in the body. This hurts the ability of nerve cells to send messages, which can cause muscle spasms and tremors or even permanent trouble with basic actions like walking, bending, and talking.</li><li><strong>Damage to brain cells.</strong> Inhalants also can damage brain cells by preventing them from getting enough oxygen. If the cerebral cortex is damaged, it will affect a person's ability to solve complex problems and plan ahead. And, if the cerebellum is affected, it can cause a person to move slowly or be clumsy.</li></ul>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Drugs affect the signaling process. There are many ingredients,, but dopamine is the main one that makes people feel good when they do something they enjoy. Normally, dopamine gets thrown out back into the cell that released it, then shutting off the signal. Stimulants like cocaine prevent the dopamine from being recycled, causing a buildup of the drug in the brain. It is this flood of dopamine that causes cocaine’s high. The drug can cause a feeling of intense pleasure and increase of happiness.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>When cough and cold medicines are taken as directed, they safely treat symptoms caused by colds and flu. But when taken in higher quantities or when such symptoms aren’t present, they may affect the brain in ways very similar to illegal drugs, and can even lead to addiction. <br><br></div><div>DXM acts on the same brain cell receptors as drugs like ketamine or PCP. A single high dose of DXM can cause hallucinations (imagined experiences that seem real). Ketamine and PCP are called "dissociative" drugs, which means they make you feel separated from your body or your environment, and they twist the way you think or feel about something or someone.<br><br></div><div>Codeine attaches to the same cell receptors as opioids like <a href="https://teens.drugabuse.gov/drug-facts/heroin">heroin</a>. High doses of promethazine-codeine cough syrup can produce euphoria similar to that produced by other opioid drugs. Also, both codeine and promethazine depress activities in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), which produces calming effects.<br><br></div><div>Both codeine and DXM cause an increase in the amount of <a href="https://teens.drugabuse.gov/blog/post/word-day-dopamine">dopamine</a> in the brain’s reward pathway. Extra amounts of dopamine increase the feeling of pleasure and at the same time cause important messages to get lost, causing a range of effects from lack of motivation to serious health problems. Repeatedly seeking to experience that feeling can lead to <a href="https://teens.drugabuse.gov/drug-facts/cough-and-cold-medicine-dxm-and-codeine-syrup#can-you-get-addicted-to-cough-and-cold-medicines">addiction</a>.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Yes, why? Because cocaine can be harmful and dangerous when taken in large doses or when mixed with other drugs or alcohol. Cocaine-related deaths often happen because the heart stops, then breathing stops. Using cocaine and drinking alcohol or using other drugs increases these risks, including the dangers of overdose. For example, combining cocaine and heroin puts a person at higher risk of death from an overdose. In rare instances, sudden death can occur on the first use of cocaine or soon after.</div>]]></description>
