• Opiates, originally derived from the opium poppy, have
been used for thousands of years for both recreational
and medicinal purposes.
• The most active substance in opium is morphine—
named after Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams.
Morphine is a very powerful painkiller, but it is also very
addictive.
• In the sixteenth century, laudanum, opium prepared in
an alcoholic solution, was used as a painkiller.
![Page 7: Sheffield Substance Misuse Services...Etizolam, Pyrazolam and Flubromazepam. New psychoactive substances (NPS) are drugs which were designed to replicate the effects of illegal substances](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042320/5f0967107e708231d426aaf9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Morphine was first extracted from opium in a pure form
in the early nineteenth century. It was used widely as a
painkiller during the American Civil War, and many
soldiers became addicted.
• Codeine, a less powerful drug that is found in opium but
can be synthesized (man-made), was first isolated in
1830 in France by Jean-Pierre Robiquet, to replace raw
opium for medical purposes.
• Throughout the early nineteenth century, the recreational
use of opium grew and by 1830, the British dependence
on the drug reached an all-time high. The British sent
warships to the coast of China in 1839 in response to
China’s attempt to suppress the opium traffic (Britain
‘supplying’ China), beginning the “First Opium War.”

• In 1874, chemists trying to find a less addictive form of
morphine made heroin. But heroin had twice the potency
of morphine, and heroin addiction soon became a
serious problem.
• Methadone was first synthesized in 1937 by German
scientists Max Bockmühl and Gustav Ehrhart at the IG
Farben company. They were searching for a painkiller
that would be easier to use during surgery, with less
addiction potential than morphine or heroin.
• Unfortunately methadone is believed by many to be even
more addictive than heroin.

New psychoactive substances (NPS) are drugs which were designed to replicate the effects of illegal substances](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042320/5f0967107e708231d426aaf9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• As recently as the 1950’s heroin (diamorphine) was a
popular medicine prescribed by family doctors.
• The Times 1955 stated there were only 317 addicts of
‘manufactured’ drugs in the whole of Britain…
– Of which just 15% were dependent on heroin (47.5 heroin
addicts)…
– Mostly doctors or middle-class patients who could afford to
sustain a habit.
• Following pressure from the US, the UK implemented
the Drugs (Regulation of Misuse) Act in 1964.
• In 1971 the Misuse of Drugs Act (MDA) was passed,
continuing measures in previous legislation, and
classifying drugs into classes A (the most highly
regulated), B, and C.

• The number of deaths from heroin are at the
highest level since comparable records began.
• In the past five years death rates have doubled
in England, Wales and Scotland.
• On average in 2016, every five hours someone
died after using heroin and/or morphine.
• Almost one in three drug overdoses in Europe
happens in the UK, according to the European
Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction.

• Cannabis was the most commonly used
drug in the 2017/18 with 7.2 per cent of
adults aged 16 to 59 having used it in the
last year (around 2.4 million people).
![Page 17: Sheffield Substance Misuse Services...Etizolam, Pyrazolam and Flubromazepam.

• Research shows that 10% of regular cannabis users
become dependent on it. Your risk of getting addicted is
higher if you start using it in your teens or use it every
day.
• As with other addictive drugs, such as cocaine and
heroin, you can develop a tolerance to cannabis. This
means you need more to get the same effect.
• If you stop using it, you may get withdrawal symptoms,
such as cravings, difficulty sleeping, mood swings,
irritability and restlessness.
• If you smoke cannabis with tobacco, you're likely to get
addicted to nicotine and risk getting tobacco-related
diseases such as cancer and coronary heart disease.
• If you cut down or give up, you will experience
withdrawal from nicotine as well as cannabis.

New psychoactive substances (NPS) are drugs which were designed to
replicate the effects of illegal substances like cannabis, cocaine and
ecstasy. NPS began to appear in the UK drug scene around 2008/09.
Previously legal hence the name ‘legal highs’ They fall into four main
categories:
• Synthetic cannabinoids – these drugs mimic cannabis and are traded
under such names as Clockwork Orange, Black Mamba, Spice and Exodus
Damnation. They bear no relation to the cannabis plant except that the
chemicals which are blended into the base plant matter act on the brain in a
similar way to cannabis.
