The 
EZ To Use Drug Test is designed to detect the five most common groups of drugs used by today’s teenager:
Marijuana
Opiates
Cocaine
Amphetamines
Methamphetamines
Marijuana – What Is it?
Marijuana (Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC) is a green or gray mixture of dried flowers and leaves of the hemp plant Cannabis sativa. Today it is the most often used illegal drug in this country. It is usually smoked as a cigarette (called a joint or a nail) or in a pipe or bong. In recent years, marijuana has appeared in blunts, which are cigars that have been emptied of tobacco and refilled with marijuana, often in combination with another drug, such as crack. Some users also mix marijuana into foods or use it to brew tea. Cannabis is a term that refers to marijuana and other drugs made from the same plant. Strong forms of cannabis include sinsemilla, hashish and hash oil.
What Are The Common Street Names of Marijuana:
Pot, herb, joint, weed, blunt, nail, Mary Jane, chronic, gangster, boom, sense, hash.
How Does Marijuana Affect A Teenager?
Within a few minutes of inhaling marijuana smoke, a teenager will likely feel, along with intoxication, a dry mouth, rapid heartbeat, some loss of coordination and poor sense of balance, and slower reaction time. Blood vessels in the eyes expand, so the teen's eyes look red. For some teens, marijuana raises blood pressure slighty and can double the normal heart rate. This effect can be greater when other drugs are mixed with marijuana. As the immediate effects fade, usually after 2 to 3 hours, the teen may become sleepy.
Some teens, especially someone new to the drug or in a strange setting, may suffer acute anxiety and have paranoid thoughts. This is more likely to happen with high doses of THC. These scary feelings will fade as the drug's effects wear off. In rare cases, a teenager who has taken a very high dose of the drug can have severe psychotic symptoms and need emergency medical treatment.
Marijuana can be harmful in a number of ways, through both immediate effects and damage to health over time. Marijuana hinders the teen’s short-term memory and he or she may have trouble handling complex tasks. With the use of more potent varieties of marijuana, even simple tasks can be difficult. Marijuana users also may become involved in risky sexual behavior. There is a strong link between drug use and unsafe sex and the spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
Under the influence of marijuana, students may find it hard to study and learn. Young athletes could find their performance is off; timing, movements, and coordination are all affected by THC. Marijuana affects many skills required for safe driving: alertness, the ability to concentrate, coordination, and reaction time. These effects can last up to 24 hours after smoking marijuana. Marijuana use can make it difficult to judge distances and react to signals and sounds on the road.
Opiates – What Are They?
The most common illegal opiate being used by teenagers is heroin in its various forms. But, more and more, teenagers are using other opiates, particularly prescription medications such as:
Codeine
Morphine
Hydromorphone (Dilaudid)
Oxycodone (Percodan)
Oxymorphone (Numorphan)
Hydrocodone (Vicodin)
Meperidine (Demerol)
Fentanyl
Methadone (Dolophine)
Darvon
Talwin
What Are The Common Street Names of Opiates:
Smack, Horse, Junk, "H", Cheese, Hard Stuff, Mexican Brown, China White, Chiva, Goma, Gumball, Schoolboy, Downtown, Dolls, Dollies, Drug Store Heroin, Miss Emma, Morf, "M", Morpho, Big H, Black Tar, Boy, Brown Sugar, Crown Crap, Doogie, Hairy, Harry, Hazel, Henry, George Smack, Him, Horse Radish, Joy Powder, Mud, Muzzle, Scag, Schmeck, Smeck, Tecata, White Lady.
How Do Opiates Affect A Teenager?
Sedation, slowed reflexes, raspy speech, sluggish "rubber-like" movements, slowed breathing, cold skin, and vomiting. As tolerance builds to opiates, these effects diminish. Heroin, in particular, is a very strong depressant and eventually destroys the ability to reason.
Heroin users experience significant psychological effects immediately after injection. Generally, these include a feeling of euphoria, relief from withdrawal symptoms and relief from pain. Physical effects generally kick in shortly thereafter, including nodding off, poor motor coordination, depressed reflexes, and slow breathing.
Once a person is addicted to opiates, he or she will suffer withdrawal symptoms if they don't receive another dose, or "fix", before the drug is completely out of their system. Withdrawal effects can be chills, aches of the muscles and joints, nausea and insomnia. These symptoms normally start 4-6 hours after the last dosage of the drug. The withdrawal signs and symptoms intensify from 14-24 hours following the injection, and may be accompanied by gooseflesh, slight tremors, loss of appetite and dilation of the pupils. Approximately 24-36 hours since the last "fix", the addict experiences insomnia, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, depression and hot/cold flashes. Withdrawal signs and symptoms generally reach their peak after 2-3 days. At this point, the addict usually experiences muscular and abdominal cramps, elevated temperature and severe tremors and twitching. This twitching, especially of the legs, is referred to as "kicking the habit.” The addict is very nauseated at this time, may gag and vomit repeatedly, and may lose 10-15 pounds within 24 hours.
Cocaine – What Is it?
Cocaine is a powerfully addictive stimulant drug. The powdered form of cocaine can be snorted or dissolved in water and injected. Crack is cocaine that has not been neutralized by an acid to make the hydrochloride salt. This form of cocaine comes in a rock crystal that can be heated and its vapors smoked. The term "crack" refers to the crackling sound heard when it is heated.
What Are The Common Street Names of Cocaine:
Coke, blow, nose candy, sugar, crack, rock, base, sugar, powder.
How Does Cocaine Affect A Teenager?
Cocaine use causes constricted blood vessels, dilated pupils, and increased temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. Cocaine use also promotes euphoria, which leads to hyperstimulation, reduced fatigue, and mental alertness, The high from snorting cocaine may last 15 to 30 minutes, while that from smoking may last 5 to 10 minutes. Increased use can reduce the period of time a teenager feels high and increases the risk of addiction.
Some teens who use cocaine feel restless, irritable, and anxious. A tolerance to the high may develop—many addicts report that they seek but fail to achieve as much pleasure as they did from their first exposure. Some teens will increase their doses to intensify and prolong the euphoric effects. While tolerance to the high can occur, teens can also become more sensitive to cocaine's effects without increasing the dose taken. This increased sensitivity may explain some deaths occurring after apparently low doses of cocaine.
Use of cocaine in a binge, during which the drug is taken repeatedly and at increasingly high doses, may lead to a state of increasing irritability, restlessness, and paranoia. This can result in a period of full-blown paranoid psychosis, in which the teenager loses touch with reality and experiences auditory hallucinations.
Other complications associated with cocaine use include disturbances in heart rhythm and heart attacks, chest pain and respiratory failure, strokes, seizures and headaches, and gastrointestinal complications such as abdominal pain and nausea. Because cocaine has a tendency to decrease appetite, many teenagers who are chronic users can become malnourished.
Different means of taking cocaine can produce different adverse effects. Regularly snorting cocaine, for example, can lead to loss of the sense of smell, nosebleeds, problems with swallowing, hoarseness, and a chronically runny nose. Ingesting cocaine can cause severe bowel gangrene due to reduced blood flow. Teenagers who inject cocaine can experience severe allergic reactions and, as with all injecting drug users, are at increased risk for contracting HIV and other blood-borne diseases.
When teens mix cocaine and alcohol consumption, they are compounding the danger each poses and unknowingly forming a complex chemical experiment within their bodies. The human liver combines cocaine and alcohol and manufactures a third substance, cocaethylene, that intensifies cocaine's euphoric effects, while increasing the risk of sudden death.
Amphetamines – What Are They?
Amphetamines are stimulants of the central nervous Amphetamines were originally developed to treat asthma, sleep disorders and hyperactivity. In 1920, an amphetamine drug called "ephedrine" was used to treat asthma. In 1932, synthetic ephedrine was sold "over-the-counter" and was available without a prescription until 1954. During World War II, amphetamines were given to soldiers and pilots to keep them alert and to fight off fatigue. Amphetamines include drugs such as dextroamphetamine, benzedrine, and Ritalin.
What Are The Common Street Names of Amphetamines?
Speed, uppers, greenies, pep pills, fast, louies, gooey, whiz.
How Do Amphetamines Affect A Teenager?
Many of the effects of amphetamines are similar to cocaine. Amphetamine use also causes tolerance to its effects. This means that more and more amphetamine must be used to get "high." Amphetamine withdrawal is characterized by severe depression and fatigue. Teens will go to extreme measures to avoid the "downer" that comes when the effect of amphetamines wears off.
Short-term effects of amphetamine use include increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, reduced appetite, dilation of the pupils, feelings of happiness and power, reduced fatigue. Long term use of amphetamines can result in insomnia, restlessness, paranoid psychosis, hallucinations, violent and aggressive behavior, weight loss, and tremors.
Methamphetamines – What Are They?
Methamphetamine is a drug that has stimulant properties similar to adrenaline. Methamphetamine is a powerfully addictive stimulant that dramatically affects the central nervous system.
The drug is made easily in clandestine laboratories with mostly inexpensive ingredients, including over the counter cold medications. “Meth” has been the most prevalent clandestinely produced controlled substance in the United States since the 1970's. This combination makes meth a drug with a very high potential for widespread abuse amongst teenagers.
Our Methamphetamine drug test will also detect high levels of the popular drug Ecstasy.
What Are The Common Street Names of Methamphetamines?
Speed, meth, crystal meth, chalk, ice, crystal, crank, glass.
How Do Methamphetamines Affect A Teenager?
As a powerful stimulant, meth increases wakefulness and physical activity while decreasing appetite. A brief, intense sensation is reported by users who snort or inject the drug. Both the rush and the high are believed to result from the release of very high levels of dopamine into areas of the brain that regulate feelings of pleasure.
Initially, the effects of meth can be characterized by feelings of increased mental and physical well-being. With increased doses and/or chronic use, the risk of toxicity increases and the teenager may experience irritation, outbursts of anger, paranoia, delusional thinking and visual or auditory hallucinations.
Causing damage to property and causing injury to themselves are among the most common problems associated with meth use. Tolerance for meth can develop with chronic use. In an effort to intensify the desired effects, teens will take higher doses more frequently. In many cases, abusers go without food and sleep while indulging in a form of binging known as a "run," injecting as much as a gram every two to three hours over a several day period. This will continue until the teen runs out of the drug or is too disoriented to continue. Chronic meth abuse can result in inflammation of the heart lining as well as progressive social and occupational deterioration. Psychotic symptoms can sometimes persist for months or years after use has ceased.
