Template for Written Component

Template for Written Component: You should use this template to complete all the necessary information required as part of this project. You will need TWO SEPARATE completed templates that explain each of the TWO DRUGS you have researched as part of your drug topic/category. Remember to use PARENTHETICAL DOCUMENTATION when completing the information in the templates.

1. Write a definition for the drug topic/category you have chosen. (cite source)

2. Write a definition/explanation for the specific drug in your category (what does it look like, how is it sold/bought/packaged)? (cite source)

3. Explain how the drug is used, misused and abused. (cite source)

4. Explain what a typical user experiences while taking the drug/under the influence of the drug. (cite source)

5. List the effects of the drug (both short term and long term). (cite source)

6. Explain how long the effects of the drug last after taking the drug (how long is the “high”). (cite source)

7. Explain the reasons why the user “chases” the high or misuses/abuses the drug. (cite source)

8. Explain how misusing/abusing the drug negatively affects the user’s life. (cite source)

9. List the slang/street names the drug is called or sold as to users. (cite source)

10. Explain what you feel is the most dangerous aspect of misusing/abusing the drugs. What should everyone know about this drug?

This part of your project will compromise your written component. Be sure to fill-in all the questions above for each drug (2 total). Use parenthetical documentation to cite the source of the information. Research REQUIRES that you cite the source of your information in order for your work to be legitimate. Papers submitted without parenthetical documentation will be not accepted for credit as not citing your sources is considered to be plagiarism. The written component should be typed for full credit.
