Speaking Of Drugs
' By Tony Harris
& I
?. ? laifrirnwwinnd _ |
Too often a new drug comes on the scene that's accepted by users
without them having any knowledge of the substance they are using.
At times substances are blindly used as if the pusher on the corner is a
professional chenrist. Everytime any illicit drug is taken into the body,
the lispr is nlovina a tr rfn?MA nttik Ui? 1-'
? ? a uvauijr 5<uuc Willi 1115 111C.
A substance that's being labeled THC, is widely used .today,
especially by teen-agers and young adults. The true psychoactive
substance, THC, is a resin found in marijuana. When it is chemically
extracted, dried, and compressed, it is then termed hashish.
Marijuana contains about 2 percent THC, hashish is usually composed
of about 5 to 12 percent THC,
~ THC S^tremely difficult andsxre^fiivfl a"H ip
as THC is usually an animal tranqulizer.
. Experimental data has shown that even haahiah< which is generally
the most abundant and purest illicit substance containing THC, used
daily for one year will have the same deteriorating effect as 30 years oi
heavy cigarette smoking. ?
Many people using THC who get caught find that they are busted for
? horse tranquilizers or dosages of LSD. If THC was being sold on the
streets it would cost more than heroin which at present cost $8 to $10 a
hag. / I
Many chemists with a desire for money can easily play on the widelj
% accepted safeness of this dnig by introducing old drugs hidden undei
new names. With the quality of life declining the destructive escape
used by people will increase.
The situation may deteriorate to the point where this society will put
more emphasis . on escaping reality rather than dealing with it
Hashish is and has been considered the big brother drug to marijuana
by members of the drug cult. This analogy is pretty consistent to many
of the facts surrounding these two widely used drugs. The facts are
that marijuana is not as intoxicating as hashish; due to the fact that
hashish as a higher level of THC. Secondly, the intoxicating effect of
hashish last much longer than that of marijuana. Hashish also ranks
higher in terms of negative effects. Marijuana does not contain
nicotine which is found in tobacco. It does have a high tar content
which collects on the * lungscausing all types of respiratory
?complications: Hashish has six times-tee-tar content of marijuana.
Excessive use of hashish and the questionable substance being
distributed as THC shows a lack of interest in life by many Americans,
especially our youth. Just what causes so many of us to play life or
death games with ourselves? Is it that we no longer value life? Have
_ our interests been directed towards superficial orientations that will
give us immediate gratification with no regard to possible future
- destructive effects? What is it that allows an individual to subject
himself to chemicals that he knows nothing about? The line between
instant gratification and instant death is often a very thin one.
With the many problems that are plaguing the world today, it is
necessary that we have a rejuvenation of interest of life. It must be a
humanistic interest that will direct our aotion to words solving such
problems as poverty, inflation, inadequate care for senior citizens.
I and man's deprivation of love; the very essence of his being.

veer of fense.
After Saturday night's
performance, Coach Howell
quickly put the damper on that
' hearsay.
"The veer is here to stay," he
firmly stated. "We got our time
down and for the first time this
season we were able to conduct
sustained drives and put points
on the board."
Putting points on the board is
exactly what the Aggies will have
1 to do this week as they travel to
Charlotte, North Carolina to take
on always tough Johnson C. Smitli
University.
The Golden Bulls are 0-3 in the
season but all defeats came a:
results of quarter scores witli
Smith aDDarentlv in rommnnH ni
the contest.
It should be an interesting
contest and a true test for the
A&T defense as the Bulls are
known as an explosive offensive
who likes to throw.
