CJ 411 Purdue University Global Drugs and Alcohol in The Criminal Justice System Paper

Drug Analysis

In this Assignment, you are going to compare depressants, stimulants, and hallucinogens.

You are to identify one drug from each category (see examples
below). In a minimum 4-page paper, you are to analyze and evaluate the
differences between the drugs, including composition,
manufacture/cultivation and how they are used. You will then provide an
in-depth analysis of each drug’s physical and psychological effects on
the human body. The analysis should include, at a minimum, drug
ingestion, tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms and effects, as well as
any medical uses for each drug.

A sample of drugs listed in the three categories is shown below, but
you may also choose a drug not on the list. Although this paper is on a
topic of your choosing, it is recommended that if you identify and
choose a drug not on the list below, you have it approved by the
instructor prior to beginning the assignment to ensure the drug chosen
is properly identified in its category.

The paper will be a minimum of 4 pages of written text (the cover page and reference page do not count in the page minimum).
