mpions l o look tor Does Your Child Use Drugs? A drug addict, when he gets hooked good, leads a miserable life that may end early, either through in fection, overdose, or just fiwn otherwise minor diseases acquired while in a rundown condition. That's why parents should keep their eyes on their children. Drugs are more prevalent among the young today than ever before, ac cording to T.A. Coats of Route 1, Erwin, special agent for the Tri-County Bureau of Nar cotics. How can you tell if your child is using drugs? Here are some of the symptoms to look for. MARIJUANA If your child shows signs of sleepiness, vagueness, or wandering mind; if he has enlarged eye pupils, shows lack of coordination, has a craving for sweets and perhaps giggles a lot, then there’s a good chance he or she is usin^marijuana. Look for cigarette papers, small plastic bags, small round seeds in the linings of pockets, and stay alert for an odor similar to burnt leaves. Some people who have used marijuana have ended up using stronger drugs, but don’t panic, this is not always the case. The biggest danger of marijuana use is identical FOR ALL YOUR TIRE NEEDS G»P DISCOUNT TIRE CENTER 206 E. Slate Street Black Mountain, N.

Whether drunk on marijuana or liquor, the user can be a danger to both himself and persons around him. The physical symptoms that show up when people are high on pep pills or “speed” are: aggressive behavior, lack of appetite, rapid speech, con fused thinking, dry mouth, and shakiness. When taken in pill form, the pills may be of various colors and shapes. Amphetamines are also taken with hypodermic syringes. If you find a syringe among your child’s affects, look for cotton, burnt bottle caps and spoons, and try to spot needle marks on his arms or feet. Amphetamines can be real killers, having already set an impressive record in hospitals with overdoses. Physical addiction can and often does result from their use. When addicted, “coming down” is often the severest of all drug withdrawals. BARBITURATES The physical symptoms of barbiturates, usually called “downers,” is drowsiness, a dull stupor, slurred speech, and a drunken appearance often accompanied by vomiting. Signals that they are being used are similar to those listed above for amphetamines, for barbiturates can also be taken in pill form or through in travenous injection. An overdose can cause unconsciousness or death. Physical addition often oc curs. LSD and HALLUCINATORS If your child acts strangely, cries or laughs easily, vomits without reason, and has cold hands and feet, he may be using hallucinatory drugs like LSD. The drugs are taken for the high feeling of going on a "trip” which brings on hallucinations and feelings of detachment. The drug may be taken many ways. It can be in small gelatin capsules or saturated in sugar cubes, or in capsules wrapped in tinfoil. Hallucinogens frequently bring out suicidal tendencies and other unpredictable behavior. They can cause brain and chromosome damage. Even after the drug is no longer taken, the hallucinations may “pop back” into the person’s mind, even years after the drug use. HARD NARCOTICS The use of heroin, morphine or cocaine can cause death from overdose, mental deterioration, destruction of the brain or liver, or a run down condition which is conducive to diseases which can bring death. Physical signs of their use are stupor, drowsiness, running nose and drunken appearance. Plastic bags and the hypodermic parapher nalia described above is often evident. Other“TURN-ON’s” Cough medicine containing codeine or opium or paregoric is often drunk to excess to bring on a “high.” Sometimes glue, spot remover, gasoline or paint thinner are “sniffed” for the same reaction. These substances usually leave a telltale odor on the clothing. | The “sniffer” usually has a drunken appearance, with blank or dreamy expressions. Sniffing may bring on hallucinations or violent , tantrums. It is extremely | dangerous and can cause lung, brain and liver damage, ( anemia, and sometimes death from suffocation or choking. The heavy consumption of ( cough medicine also usually gives evidence of a drunken appearance and lack of coordination and confusion. Sometimes the child shows signs of excessive itching. Continued use could cause addiction.
