In general terms, a narcotic refers to opium and drugs made from opium, such as heroin, codiene and morphine. All of these come from the distilled juice of the poppy flower. MANY OF these products are used as tools of modern mediand many are used as cine crutches from a reality too unpleasant or too intense for the individual to bear. Some drugs other than opium and opium are classified as narcotics, even though they are pharmacologically entirely different. This group includes cocaine. This is a legal distinction. Some synthetically- - derived drugs, called opiates, also make this devil's list as narcotics. THE PRIMARY concern of medicine and abusers alike is the pain- - relieving power of narcotics. Stringent federal controls limit legal usages to medical research and treatment. But actual usage goes far beyond this. These drugs act to dull fear, tension or anxiety. The user becomes lethargic and indifferent to his environment and personal situation. Chronic use may result in and psychological physiological and a tolerance dependence develops to the drug that necessitates' ever- - increasing doses. Soon the abuser's whole life is one constant struggle to obtain his fix. WHEN THE time comes that the abuser can't obtain his need, withdrawal begins. And it isn't pleasant. He becomes nervous, anxious, sleepless. He starts to yawn, perspire and his eyes and nose run. His pupils dilate, his skin turns to gooseflesh, and his muscles begin to twitch. HIS BACK and legs ache, in he has hot and cold flashes between seizures of vomiting and diarrhea. His blood pressure, temperature and heart rate all go up. And a feeling of desperation the need for that fix engulfs hiin. All of these factors may vary in intensity, but at best "it's a painful ordeal. For the heavily addicted abuser, it's sheer hell. NORMALLY these symptoms will appear 8 to 12 hours after the last fix, and will last up to ten days, reaching their greatest intensity sometime after 36 hours, and somewhere before 72. But again, it varies with the individual and his peculiar situation. And the purity of the stuff he receives. Heroin, for example, is mix ed with milk sugar so that it's only 3 to 10 per cent pure when it hits the streets. The pure stuff or would kill you in minutes less. Maybe you've heard of this; it happens pretty often. New York averages one death each day from overdosage. Technically, it's called "respiratory depression." HEROIN is the most abused of die narcotics. It's known as "horse," "H", "Harry" "sugar", "smack". It's generally mixed into a liquid solution and shot directly into the bloodstream. "hard ("M", Morphine stuff", "unkie". "Miss Emma") takes second place. It kills pain better, but tolerance rises rapid- iy- - Codeine is less addictive but also less potent in terms of producing euphoria. Withdrawal is less painful than from Harry or Emma.' one has a concrete answer, and no one probably ever will. Opium's use goes back into the dawn of civilization, both medicinally and as an indulgent. The Egyptians used it as far back as 1500 B.C., and Homer's allusion to a mysterious the stupor-- inducing agent in to believed is commonly Odyssey be a reference to opium. was widely used Opium through the world as a thera18th peutic agent during the century. Doctors advised its use for everything from venereal disease to cancer to gallstones. IN MOST cases, it was prescribed as an alternative to alcohol, and by many was seen as a lesser of two evils. s, the use By the was increasing dramatically and a few men began to see the monster about to erupt on the national scene.

A TALE of how the boy captures the wolf alive, prevented the hungers from shouting him and lead the wolf safely to the zoo, has much to offer in today's world. A character in the story was the duck who waddled out to take a nice, cool swim in the pond nearby, completely oblivious to the danger near him. The bird watching this said "What kind of a bird are you if you can't fly?" The duck came back with "What kind of a bird are you if you can't swim?" THE BIRD and the duck are quite like we humans in our intolerance of our reasoning and our narrowness of viewpoint. Safety is a point of view, an attitude of tolerance and a broad outlook. Do we say "What a strange bird you are if you can't drive, work or play without regard to safety or the safety of others?" 227 North Main Tooele I Accident prevention is the only effective method in reducing accidents.
