Answer 1

Question 20:

The answer is B (Sharing prescription medications with other people). Prescription medications are prescribed specifically for YOU. Other people may have unknown allergies to them, be taking other medications that interact poorly with yours, or they might just be bad for their bodies. Sharing medications could result in potentially irreparable harm and you could be held accountable.

Question 21:

The answer is A (flashbacks). While marijuana can exhibit some features of a hallucinogen, flashbacks are not typically a severe side affect. They may be startling or disorienting, but do not affect your health.

Question 22:

The answer is D (hallucinogens). Hallucinogens are psychoactive drugs that attack your perception of reality and can cause you to experience things that are not real.

Question 23:

The answer is D (kidney conditions). Though unpleasant, sleep issues, vomiting, and severe cravings are all temporary and easy to recover from. However, consistent heroin use can be permanently damaging to your kidneys. Depending on the level of kidney disease, you may need a transplant and can even die from the side effects.

Question 24:

The answer is b (club drugs). Clubs drugs are used to alter victims’ consciousness, susceptibility, and strength. People are able to sneak these into drinks in clubs and bars, targeting a victim. This often leads to sexual assault and even murder, because they render you defenseless and susceptible to your attacker.

Question 25:

The answer is D (Above the Influence Campaign). Above the Influence is an organization that seeks to provide a safe place for minors to seek help when faced with drug use.

Question 26:

The answer is B (sober living community). These are residential communities for those seeking help and accountability to escape their addictions. Not only are they given the separation from substances, but they are given a support system of others like them.

Question 27:

The answer is A (Participating in team sports). While someone could be participating in team sports and also abusing medications and drugs, that is just a potential factor and NOT a warning sign. The other 3 answers are direct signs that point towards someone experiencing something troubling in their lives.
