00:01:00 #1 I'm better round him up before he kills somebody.
00:01:54 #2 I said, are you all right?
00:01:56 #3 Oh, I'm great, man.
00:02:03 #4 Must have flooded it or something.
00:02:05 #5 But I feel great.
00:02:09 #6 Just great.
00:02:10 #7 Yeah, well, now listen to me.
00:02:12 #8 I want you to take the key out of the ignition
00:02:14 #9 and step out of the car.
00:02:15 #10 Would you do that for me, please? No, man. I don't.
00:02:20 #11 I really don't know.
00:02:21 #12 I want you to take the key out of the ignition
00:02:23 #13 and step out of the car, please.
00:02:31 #14 Why not?
00:02:32 #15 Portrait of a man under the influence but of what a few too many drinks are happy alcoholic fog
00:02:40 #16 He's got that fuzzy look and he moves like a drunk and surely his driving suggests anything but sobriety
00:03:05 #17 Pardon I didn't notice
00:03:18 #18 I think I don't know.
00:03:20 #19 He doesn't smell like a drunk, but the heavy mint sent on his breath may be masking the presence of liquor.
00:03:28 #20 A few moments later, some of the happy fog has dissipated.
00:03:36 #21 He's feeling slightly nauseous, drowsy, and he's got to go to the john.
00:03:41 #22 But what drunk doesn't get nauseous asleep and what drunk doesn't have to go to the john?
00:03:47 #23 Portrait of a man under the influence.
00:03:51 #24 At one time that phrase referred only to a drunk, but times have changed and the alert law enforcer doesn't jump to conclusions.
00:03:59 #25 He knows that unusual, irrational or abnormal behavior, though still most likely to result from too much drinking,
00:04:06 #26 may also be caused by the use of narcotics, dangerous drugs or marijuana.
00:04:30 #27 lawyer at this time. No sir. At this time are you willing to discuss the offense
00:04:36 #28 under investigation? Yes sir. In dealing with narcotic or dangerous drug offenses
00:04:44 #29 the law enforcer faces a problem of physical symptoms which are frequently
00:04:48 #30 confusing or misleading and evidence which is easily hidden or disguised.
00:04:54 #31 Step one in tackling the problem is to be well aware of its existence.
00:04:59 #32 Step two is knowledge.
00:05:02 #33 You must learn to recognize both the physical symptoms presented by the drug abuser
00:05:07 #34 and the many shapes and forms in which drug evidence may be found.
00:05:11 #35 The subject is a broad one, but three categories will best serve for an introduction to symptoms and evidence.
00:05:18 #36 They are hallucinogens, depressants, and stimulants.
00:05:24 #37 The hallucinogens are mind-altering drugs and the one you are most likely to run
00:05:30 #38 into most often of cost is marijuana. Possession and use of this illegal drug is
00:05:36 #39 so prevalent that even grade school children are aware of its most common
00:05:40 #40 slang names pot and grass. Most users smoke pot and it is often smoked in
00:05:48 #41 cigarette form. As a cigarette it is easy to identify. Hand rolled, crimped
00:05:55 #42 At the end, the paper thicker and stronger than standard cigarette paper.
00:06:00 #43 A recent innovation, paper with colorful psychedelic pattern.
00:06:06 #44 In addition to the crude form, marijuana cigarettes are easily distinguishable by the contents themselves.
00:06:13 #45 Marijuana is not soft and pliable like regular tobacco.
00:06:17 #46 The texture is rougher, the pieces far less uniform.
00:06:22 #47 Sometimes small pieces of stems and seeds will be found.
00:06:28 #48 Many smokers will use pipes, and their choice of odd, unusual pipes, generally smaller than
00:06:34 #49 the tobacco smokers, is a help in identifying them.
00:06:38 #50 But not all marijuana users are smokers, and not all smokers restrict themselves to
00:06:43 #51 smoking.
00:06:44 #52 Some users simply eat the stuff, and some users find many variations of form, like
00:06:50 #53 these brownies, which contain almost as much pot as they do flour. In bulk form you might
00:06:57 #54 find marijuana compressed into a brick, or in a matchbox, or a plastic container, or even
00:07:05 #55 a plastic bag. If you're looking for evidence of possession, overlook nothing, including
00:07:12 #56 the corners of pockets, which may still have remnants of their former contents. It would
00:07:21 #57 It would be easy to mistake this block for sandstone or masonite.
00:07:25 #58 But what you are actually looking at is hashish.
00:07:29 #59 Hashish is marijuana in its most concentrated form and is made primarily from the marijuana plant's rosins.
00:07:36 #60 In bulk quantities, hashish is usually packaged in the form of a light greenish brown, dark brown or black oblong flat cake,
00:07:45 #61 from one quarter to three quarters inches thick.
00:07:49 #62 These loaves or souls as they are often called are broken into small irregular
00:07:54 #63 cubes or chunks and are sold by the gram on the black market.
00:08:00 #64 Usually smoked, chewed or sniffed, Hashish is far more potent than ordinary marijuana
00:08:07 #65 and can have an effect up to 10 times stronger on the user.
00:08:13 #66 Just what effect does marijuana have on the user?
00:08:16 #67 The only real answer to that question is an unpredictable one.
00:08:21 #68 But quality of the marijuana itself can vary and the user's mental and physical makeup are other variants.
00:08:28 #69 He may feel euphoria, giddiness. He may get careless, misjudge time, lose his powers of concentration and his sense of judgment.
00:08:37 #70 He may feel dizzy, have burning bloodshot eyes and a dry mouth.
00:08:42 #71 His vision may be somewhat distorted.
00:08:45 #72 He may suffer from diarrhea, nausea, throat irritations.
00:08:49 #73 He may become very hungry with a craving for candy and sweets.
00:08:54 #74 He may appear to be sleepy or in a dream-like stupor,
00:08:57 #75 or possibly just relaxed and relatively normal.
00:09:02 #76 These are all possibilities, depending upon the dose he used
00:09:06 #77 and his prior experience with marijuana.
00:09:09 #78 a one. Yeah. Nothing I just had a couple of drinks think they
00:09:28 #79 disagree with me. Bill Moses you know sweaty. If you're sick maybe. I'm not sick. I just
00:09:35 #80 sat down here my head this is where I pick up my bus I just go back to the port and
00:09:41 #81 I'll be okay.
00:09:43 #82 Okay, so, straightening uniform.
00:09:45 #83 Despite all the possible symptoms and effects, the fact is it is relatively easy for an experienced user to mask the effects of a marijuana high.
00:09:57 #84 Overt manifestations, strong, positive proof of intoxication are rarely present.
00:10:08 #85 And your hat.
00:10:10 #86 There may be situations such as the one you have just seen
00:10:13 #87 when drug use is not fully obvious
00:10:16 #88 and sufficient circumstances for apprehension
00:10:19 #89 or other police action do not exist.
00:10:22 #90 The experienced user rarely gives himself away by a display of obvious intoxication.
00:10:28 #91 He is either caught in the act
00:10:30 #92 or found in possession of the drug.
00:10:33 #93 But there is one helpful clue to marijuana use and possession
00:10:37 #94 And that is the odor.
00:10:40 #95 Burning marijuana has a distinctive odor,
00:10:43 #96 which is easily recognized by those who are familiar with it.
00:10:47 #97 The law enforcers should get to know that odor.
00:10:50 #98 And you should also be aware that heavy perfume and incense
00:10:53 #99 are frequently used as a cover-up for that odor.
00:10:58 #100 Of all the illicit drugs of abuse,
00:11:00 #101 marijuana is the army's greatest problem,
00:11:03 #102 because it is one of the most common.
00:11:06 #103 But the hallucinogens include several other drugs, which though relatively uncommon,
00:11:12 #104 have far more serious effects on the user than marijuana.
00:11:16 #105 Most of them are called by their initials.
00:11:19 #106 LSD, DMT, DET, DOM, MDA, PCP.
00:11:31 #107 There are also peyote and its derivative mescaline.
00:11:35 #108 and among others, psilocybin.
00:11:40 #109 Mescaline sometimes appears in the form of small white pills.
00:11:44 #110 DMT may be packaged in aluminum foil or mixed with tobacco.
00:11:49 #111 LSD can take almost any shape.
00:11:52 #112 These small, colorful pills are only one possibility.
00:11:56 #113 In its liquid form, LSD is tasteless, odorless, and clear,
00:12:01 #114 and can be applied to almost anything.
00:12:04 #115 LSD tablets manufactured in clandestine laboratories often have imperfections on the edges or surfaces of the tablets
00:12:12 #116 due to the crude or unsophisticated machines and dyes used to stamp the tablets.
00:12:20 #117 Sugar cubes, candy, crackers, a postage stamp, even paper.
00:12:29 #118 All can be impregnated with liquid LSD for later consumption by the user.
00:12:34 #119 The investigator must be aware of the many ways in which these drugs can be hidden and disguised.
00:12:40 #120 To find the evidence, he must at least be as clever and imaginative as the man who conceals it.
00:12:46 #121 The effects of the various hallucinogenic drugs can range from relatively mild to extreme.
00:12:55 #122 Again, we must contend with varying doses and varying mental and physical tolerances in different human beings.
00:13:03 #123 He may feel a dream like euphoria, a cloud nine freedom from reality, which under some
00:13:10 #124 circumstances may seem relatively normal.
00:13:14 #125 But his ability to function to do his job will be effective.
00:13:18 #126 This of course will bring his condition into visibility.
00:13:22 #127 That visibility however can take the form of symptoms easily misinterpreted.
00:13:27 #128 And he might be considered lazy, different, incompetent, or perhaps just a bit off his
00:13:33 #129 feed. At the other end of the scale the extreme reaction.
00:13:53 #130 In these cases, the user will suffer wild hallucinations.
00:13:58 #131 He's in here.
00:14:26 #132 When a man's behavior is extremely abnormal, prompt medical attention is always called for.
00:14:32 #133 But since his actions are not predictable, he is a potential threat to you and to himself.
00:14:39 #134 He should be handled with care.
00:14:41 #135 Those three guidelines bear repeating, for they should be followed with all cases
00:14:48 #136 of extremely abnormal behavior in which drug abuse is suspected or indicated.
00:14:54 #137 One, protect yourself from possible assault. Two, protect the individual from
00:15:00 #138 possible self-damage. Three, get him medical attention as quickly as possible.
00:15:07 #139 As illegal drugs of abuse, those classified as depressants usually result in
00:15:14 #140 and more social deterioration and premature deaths than any other type of drug.
00:15:20 #141 Depressant drugs include the opiates and synthetic opiates, barbiturates and tranquilizers.
00:15:27 #142 The opiates and synthetic opiates are narcotic drugs that are stringently regulated under
00:15:32 #143 the law because of their ability to rapidly produce physical dependence or addiction.
00:15:38 #144 Heroin, morphine and opium are examples of opiates.
00:15:43 #145 Methadone and demoral are examples of synthetic opiates.
00:15:47 #146 heroin's ability to produce addiction is so great that it is not used in the practice of medicine in the United States.
00:15:54 #147 Heroin addiction motivates a high percentage of crime and destroys thousands of lives annually.
00:16:01 #148 The important questions for law enforcers are, what does it look like?
00:16:06 #149 What clues suggest its use?
00:16:08 #150 What symptoms does the user display?
00:16:11 #151 and how should the addict be handled.
00:16:16 #152 Heroin usually appears in the form of a white crystalline powder,
00:16:20 #153 but depending on the impurities often found in heroin,
00:16:23 #154 it may appear off-white or even tan in color.
00:16:28 #155 The quantity of pure heroin is increased by cutting it with milk sugar,
00:16:32 #156 quinine, manite, or other similar substances.
00:16:37 #157 It is normally sold in small glassine envelopes or packets,
00:16:41 #158 or sometimes in gelatin capsules.
00:16:44 #159 It is sometimes sniffed like snuff,
00:16:47 #160 but most users inject it either under the skin
00:16:50 #161 or into a vein.
00:16:52 #162 But injection requires equipment
00:16:54 #163 and that equipment can be a giveaway.
00:16:58 #164 To be injected heroin must be liquefied.
00:17:02 #165 This is frequently accomplished by using a spoon or a bottle cap
00:17:06 #166 with an improvised handle as a cooker
00:17:08 #167 in which the heroin is dissolved in water.
00:17:11 #168 Heat is needed for this process.
00:17:14 #169 A hypodermic is also essential, whether homemade or a discard retrieved from a clinic or perhaps
00:17:20 #170 even purchased from a drugstore.
00:17:24 #171 Another essential, anything that will serve as a tourniquet to cause the vein to bulge,
00:17:29 #172 making it more accessible.
00:17:31 #173 Absorbent cotton is another common item.
00:17:34 #174 It serves as a filter through which the liquefied heroin is drawn into the hypo, and as
00:17:39 #175 blotter which will pick up and store the residue. This array of equipment is usually a good indication
00:17:45 #176 of heroin use. A radio is only one of a thousand places an addict might use to hide such material.
00:17:57 #177 The heroin user's habit is the prime focal point of his existence. This fact plus the
00:18:03 #178 desperation that motivates his need for concealment can prod him into some extremely clever
00:18:09 #179 and crafty ideas. The heroin addict's body itself provides clues to his use of the drug.
00:18:23 #180 Repeated injections will leave scars and there will frequently be signs of infection caused
00:18:28 #181 by the unsanitary equipment he uses. Since body concealment is difficult for the soldier,
00:18:35 #182 the uniformed user may try to hide his habit by injecting the drug into less generally
00:18:41 #183 visible areas of the body. For this reason, physical examination of a suspected heroin
00:18:47 #184 user must overlook no part of the body. Attics have been known to inject the drug into the
00:18:53 #185 scalp or to hide drugs in thick hair. And they sometimes will use the veins of the
00:18:59 #186 instep as an injection point. We can divide the heroin user's symptoms into three categories.
00:19:09 #187 When he is under the influence of the drug, when he is suffering withdrawal or in need of a fix,
00:19:14 #188 and when he may be reacting to an overdose.
00:19:19 #189 When under the influence of the drug, the heroin user is in a dream-like condition.
00:19:25 #190 He's lethargic, drowsy, detached from the world around him.
00:19:30 #191 Taking him into custody presents no particular problem other than the fact that you might have to carry him.
00:19:36 #192 When he is in need of a fix, suffering from withdrawal symptoms, the user's image changes considerably.
00:19:44 #193 The physical toll taken by his habit has already caused an extreme loss of weight and a general deterioration.
00:19:52 #194 The use of and need for heroin generates a wide variety of possible symptoms.
00:19:58 #195 Nervousness, sweating, pains, cramps, itching, constipation, loss of appetite,
00:20:06 #196 tight and desperation for his next fix motivates a need for money.
00:20:12 #197 They can drive him to any length. What do you say. The
00:20:19 #198 hamburgers getting cold. I'm not hungry I told you this is a
00:20:28 #199 security okay what am I going to do with a watch okay how
00:20:34 #200 with it twenty bucks and it's yours. It's worth a lot more but
00:20:39 #201 you can have a twenty. I don't get it. You sold your
00:20:45 #202 watch the hamming some month ago with this call from. It's my other one my good one.
00:20:55 #203 Come on Wilson. A favor. You get a dream deal and you do me a favor. You got the dough
00:21:04 #204 and I know it look I got to watch I don't want to buy nothing I'm not going to lend you
00:21:11 #205 any money you still owe me for it now he is right for burger or any form of theft
00:21:20 #206 or assault that might bring him money in this condition the heroin addict is a
00:21:26 #207 definite threat he should be approached with caution if he gets no fix however the
00:21:33 #208 withdrawal symptoms will increase in intensity and he will be reduced to
00:21:37 #209 helplessness spasms cramps vomiting diarrhea he will be literally a mess he'll
00:21:47 #210 look bad and he may smell worse but your job and it's a difficult one is to
00:21:53 #211 recognize that he is a man in need of help the situation is not as urgent as
00:21:58 #212 it appears he is not in any immediate danger of death in these instances you
00:22:03 #213 simply pick him up and get him to a doctor. Heroin, obviously, is not manufactured to
00:22:11 #214 any tight standards of control. The fixed purchase by the user can contain varying
00:22:16 #215 amounts of the drug and it may well contain a higher dosage than he can
00:22:20 #216 tolerate. It is this overdose which accounts for most heroin fatalities. The heroin overdose
00:22:26 #217 is a quick killer. It works on the part of the brain that controls a respiratory
00:22:30 #218 system and the result is asphyxia. Medical attention can often help if it is administered
00:22:36 #219 quickly enough. Resuscitation may also help the overdose victim. When dealing with drug
00:22:42 #220 users, you have no way of knowing what drugs may be present on or in the mouth, so an
00:22:47 #221 airway or similar device should be available for emergency use.
00:22:53 #222 Other drugs in the depressant category are barbiturates and tranquilizers. Drugs
00:22:59 #223 of abuse in the stimulant category are cocaine and the amphetamine. As most high school kids
00:23:05 #224 know, depressants are downers and stimulants are uppers. These are all legally manufactured
00:23:14 #225 items, but they are produced in such large quantities that they frequently get into
00:23:19 #226 the hands of those who have no legal right to possess or use them. Some are amphetamines,
00:23:25 #227 uppers. Some are barbiturates and tranquilizers, downers. Prescribed by a doctor, their use
00:23:32 #228 is legal and safe. Without a prescription, illegal and dangerous.
00:23:40 #229 Cocaine is a powerful narcotic stimulant used by drug abusers. In the illegal drug trade,
00:23:45 #230 it is usually seen in the form of a white crystalline powder which looks like ground
00:23:49 #231 glass or fine snow. It is generally sniffed into the nostrils by the user, but may
00:23:55 #232 also be injected into a vein. We've all heard about the truck drivers who keep
00:24:01 #233 themselves awake with uppers over a long haul. We've all read about the famous
00:24:07 #234 movie stars who put themselves to sleep permanently with overdoses of downers.
00:24:12 #235 And the final results will be announced on the 12 o'clock news. The famous
00:24:20 #236 actress Helen White is dead at age 56 as a result of an overdose of sleeping
00:24:24 #237 pills. Miss White was found dead at her Beverly Hills apartment at four this
00:24:29 #238 morning by her husband.
00:24:31 #239 Upers and downers. Easy to come by and easy to hide.
00:24:35 #240 Some identification is made possible by pill shapes and colors,
00:24:39 #241 which are coated by the manufacturers.
00:24:42 #242 But capsule contents can easily be changed,
00:24:45 #243 and some drugs are manufactured illegally by amateur chemists.
00:24:49 #244 Final positive identification is possible only by lab analysis.
00:24:54 #245 Remember too, the contents of a standard package are easily juggled.
00:24:59 #246 And what looks like aspirin may be uppers or downers.
00:25:03 #247 When under the influence of barbiturates, the user displays symptoms very similar to an alcohol drunk.
00:25:11 #248 His movements are slow and unsteady. His breathing may be shallow. His face may be flushed.
00:25:17 #249 Thought, movement, action, reaction, speech, all are slowed by the drug.
00:25:25 #250 You get your head on the bed.
00:25:26 #251 Oh, sorry.
00:25:39 #252 What's the matter, man?
00:25:42 #253 You're going to bed.
00:25:44 #254 The extent of his lethargy is dependent upon the dosage
00:25:47 #255 and his own tolerances.
00:25:49 #256 And overdose can cause coma and death.
00:25:53 #257 Excessive use of barbiturates can cause physical addiction
00:25:57 #258 and withdrawal brings a wide variety of symptoms.
00:26:00 #259 Increasing nervousness, insomnia, tremors, nausea,
00:26:05 #260 delirium, weakness, failure of muscular coordination, cramps, vomiting, convulsions, and often death.
00:26:15 #261 It is extremely important to know and remember that depressants, downers, barbiturates, and
00:26:20 #262 certain tranquilizers can be killers.
00:26:24 #263 Without medical help, the user can die from overdose all withdrawal.
00:26:29 #264 What do you pick up this man at?
00:26:31 #265 Wilson, the chap.
00:26:34 #266 It is all too easy to mistake the depressant's user for a drunk, particularly since he will frequently mix his pills with liquor, and thus even smell like a guy who has simply had a few too many.
00:26:46 #267 I was just standing there.
00:26:47 #268 Standing there?
00:26:48 #269 Yes, sir. And sparingly tunes came up, and I started talking to him, and he took me in.
00:26:52 #270 All right, sorry to put it in places, man. We'll notify you if you come out and I'm coming picking up you.
00:26:56 #271 In this case, his use of alcohol and downers impaired his judgment, leading him into trouble.
00:27:03 #272 The simple obvious solution may seem to be one of, book him, lock him up and let him sleep
00:27:08 #273 it off.
00:27:09 #274 But that obvious simple solution could well result in a fatality.
00:27:14 #275 Under the influence of an overdose, or the even more powerful effects of a mixture of
00:27:19 #276 alcohol and depressants, he can slip quickly into a coma.
00:27:23 #277 matter of minutes he can be a dead man. In all cases where drug abuse is indicated or suspected
00:27:32 #278 medical advice and assistance should be the first step.
00:27:36 #279 Do you think this man is under the influence of barbiturates?
00:27:39 #280 Yes sir we did. It looks like he's going to be alright.
00:27:43 #281 If the gentleman ever sees it up in the hall we have to check the blood level first.
00:27:51 #282 If it is felt that the man will require medical treatment your job will be to turn him
00:27:55 #283 over to competent medical personnel for treatment and possible rehabilitation.
00:28:00 #284 Stimulants, the uppers, excite the central nervous system.
00:28:07 #285 The governors are thrown loose and the motorists race ahead at top speed.
00:28:11 #286 The stimulant abuser is thus usually very visible.
00:28:15 #287 He is on the go at double time, animated, talkative, restless.
00:28:20 #288 He doesn't sleep and isn't interested in food.
00:28:23 #289 Most important, he is emotionally unpredictable.
00:28:27 #290 His mood can change suddenly.
00:28:30 #291 I'm out.
00:28:34 #292 What do you mean, out?
00:28:36 #293 I'm out, that's all.
00:28:38 #294 Out, out, out, out, out! What do you think we are, a bunch of idiots?
00:28:40 #295 You're not out. You're way ahead you can afford to lose. Now turn those cards back over.
00:28:44 #296 Now what are you getting so excited about? Look, I got a-
00:28:46 #297 The hell you have!
00:28:47 #298 Either turn those cards back over or give back the money you want.
00:28:50 #299 Come on, Smitty.
00:28:51 #300 You're an idiot, that!
00:28:52 #301 All right, look, I'm not gonna play.
00:28:54 #302 I'll kill you! Don't! I'll kill you!
00:28:55 #303 When I forget me, but I'm gonna get you first!
00:28:57 #304 Remember, the man who is high on stimulants is always a potential threat.
00:29:03 #305 Let me go! I'll kill you!
00:29:05 #306 I swear to God, I'll kill you!
00:29:08 #307 When taking him into custody, be ready for sudden bursts of violence.
00:29:12 #308 Do not be fooled by a period of peaceful calm.
00:29:15 #309 This man is reacting to an attack of nausea.
00:29:21 #310 He's got chills.
00:29:23 #311 He's sweating. He's suffering from abdominal cramps. His walk is a bit
00:29:29 #312 unsteady. Any better? A little. The shakes feel hot, but the chills at the same time.
00:29:48 #313 Yeah. I had food poisoning last week. I just feel lousy. You sure you're gonna be alright?
00:29:58 #314 In fact, he's exhibiting more than a couple of the symptoms shown by drug
00:30:03 #315 abusers in stages of withdrawal. But the fact is, he never had anything
00:30:08 #316 stronger than an aspirin in his life. The man is just plain sick. Just plain sick. It isn't
00:30:25 #317 easy or sometimes even possible for the military policeman or CID agent. Tell whether a man
00:30:30 #318 is displaying symptoms of drug abuse or whether he's just plain sick. The point is you must
00:30:37 #319 realize the possibility. The man whose actions are irregular, unusual or abnormal
00:30:42 #320 may be a drug user. Now this doesn't mean you have to be suspicious of every little
00:30:46 #321 twitch or stumble or arrest every man who looks a little bit sleepy. Remember it's
00:30:51 #322 usually a combination of factors that indicate the narcotics or drug offense,
00:30:55 #323 not just one isolated item. But you must be alert. And you must back that alertness
00:31:01 #324 with a well-rounded knowledge of all narcotics and other drugs of abuse.
00:31:05 #325 What do they look like? What effect do they have on the user? You must have
00:31:11 #326 all the answers. Remember when drug abuse is suspected follow the guidelines. One,
00:31:17 #327 protect yourself from possible assault. Two, protect the individual from possible
00:31:22 #328 self-injury. Three, get a medical attention as quickly as possible. When
00:31:28 #329 under the influence of his drug the heroin user is in a dream-like condition.
00:31:33 #330 Taking him into custody usually involves no particular problem other
00:31:37 #331 than possibly having to carry him.
00:31:39 #332 But when in need of a fix or suffering withdrawal symptoms,
00:31:43 #333 the heroin addict can be a definite threat
00:31:46 #334 and should be approached with caution.
00:31:49 #335 When suffering extreme withdrawal symptoms,
00:31:51 #336 the heroin addict becomes a repulsive-looking mess.
00:31:55 #337 But you must realize that he is a man in need of help.
00:31:58 #338 In this condition, he is not in any immediate danger of death,
00:32:01 #339 but he does need medical attention.
00:32:04 #340 A heroin overdose kills quickly.
00:32:07 #341 If administered promptly, resuscitation may help to save the person's life.
00:32:12 #342 Barbiturates are deadly when abused.
00:32:15 #343 Mistaking a barbiturate addict for a drunk can be fatal,
00:32:19 #344 since he can slip quickly into a coma and may die without medical attention.
00:32:24 #345 In all cases where drug abuse is indicated or suspected, medical advice should be sought.
00:32:30 #346 The stimulant abuser is particularly dangerous.
00:32:34 #347 Uppers pull out the stops and he is emotionally unstable.
00:32:38 #348 Always be ready for sudden unpredictable bursts of violence.
00:32:42 #349 Many symptoms of drug abuse are identical with symptoms of common illnesses or drunkenness.
00:32:48 #350 Only a doctor can make a final, reliable diagnosis of the cause of those symptoms.
00:32:54 #351 But there may be times when you'll be forced to make a judgment
00:32:57 #352 to make a judgment and that responsibility is an important one.
00:33:01 #353 It leaves you no choice but to become an expert on the subject of drugs and drug abusers.
00:33:07 #354 The knowledge is available and the rest is up to you.
