This growth is noticeable in Europe and in Poland. With the ‘designer drugs’ launch on the market, which ingredients were not placed on the list of controlled substances in the Misuse of Drugs Act, a rise in the number and diversity of psychoactive agents and mixtures was noticed, used to achieve a different state of mind. Thus, the threat to the health and lives of people who use them has grown. In this paper, the authors describe the phenomenon of the use of plant psychoactive sub- stances, paying attention to young people who experiment with new narcotics. This article also discusses the mode of action and side effects of plant materials proscribed under the Misuse of Drugs Act in Poland. key words: designer drugs, plant materials, drugs, adolescents INTRODUCTION Anthropological studies concerning preliterate societies have shown that psy- choactive substances have been used for ages.

  • Mimosa Tenuiflora (Willd.) Poiret Under Water Deficit and Rewatering
    Journal of Agricultural Studies ISSN 2166-0379 2019, Vol. 7, No. 4 Gas Exchange of Mimosa tenuiflora (Willd.) Poiret Under Water Deficit and Rewatering Francisco Jose Basilio Alves, Antonio Lucineudo Oliveira Freire (Corresponding Author) Dept. of Forest Engineering, Federal University of Campina Grande, Brazil Received: Aug. 26, 2019 Accepted: Oct. 29, 2019 Published: Oct. 30, 2019 doi:10.5296/jas.v7i4.15338 URL: https://doi.org/10.5296/jas.v7i4.15338 Abstract This research aimed to evaluate the physiological responses of Mimosa tenuiflora plants submitted to variable water availability conditions during the nursery stage. Twelve-month-old plants kept in plastic pots containing 5 kg of the substrate composed of the subsoil soil mixture and bovine manure (2:1) were submitted to two treatments: irrigated (control) and water stress, which was imposed through the suspension of irrigation, rewatering after seven days of stress. The relative water content (RWC) and stomatal parameters were evaluated. The M. tenuiflora plants responded quickly to the irrigation suspension, promoting the closure of the stomata, occurring reduction in stomatal conductance, transpiration rate and photosynthesis. The instantaneous efficiency in water use of plants under water deficit remained high only until the middle of the period when irrigation was suspended, and then declined until the last day of the water deficit. After rehydration, the plants showed recovery in all evaluated parameters, indicating that the level of stress imposed did not cause irreversible damages in the cells and tissues. Keywords: water stress, drought tolerance, water relations 1. Introduction Mimosa tenuiflora (Willd.) Poiret.), popularly named ‘jurema-preta’, is one of the most commonly woody species in the Brazilian semiarid, belonging to the Mimosaceae family.

  • PSYCHEDELIC DRUGS (P.L) 1. Terminology “Hallucinogens
    PSYCHEDELIC DRUGS (p.l) 1. Terminology “hallucinogens” – induce hallucinations, although sensory distortions are more common “psychotomimetics” – to minic psychotic states, although truly most drugs in this class do not do so “phantasticums”or “psychedelics” – alter sensory perception (Julien uses “psychedelics”) alterations in perception, cognition, and mood, in presence of otherwise clear ability to sense” may increase sensory awareness, increase clarity, decrease control over what is sensed/experienced “self-A” may feel a passive observer of what “self-B” is experiencing often accompanied by a sense of profound meaningfulness, of divine or cosmic importance (limbic system?) these drugs can be classified by what NT they mimic: anti-ACh, agonists for NE, 5HT, or glutamate (See p. 332, Table 12.l in Julien, 9th Ed.) 2. The Anti-ACh Psychedelics e.g. scopolamine (classified as an ACh blocker) high affinity, no efficacy plant product: Belladonna or “deadly nightshade” (Atropa belladonna) Datura stramonium (jimson weed, stinkweed) Mandragora officinarum (mandrake plant) pupillary dilation (2nd to atropine) PSYCHEDELIC DRUGS (p.2) 2. Anti-ACh Psychedelics (cont.) pharmacological effects: e.g. scopolamine (Donnatal) clinically used to tx motion sickness, relax smooth muscles (gastric cramping), mild sedation/anesthetic effect PNS effects --- dry mouth relaxation of smooth muscles decreased sweating increased body temperature blurred vision dry skin pupillary dilation tachycardia, increased BP CNS effects --- drowsiness, mild euphoria profound amnesia fatigue decreased attention, focus delirium, mental confusion decreased REM sleep no increase in sensory awareness as dose increases --- restlessness, excitement, hallucinations, euphoria, disorientation at toxic dose levels --- “psychotic delirium”, confusion, stupor, coma, respiratory depression so drug is really an intoxicant, amnestic, and deliriant 3.

  • Mimosa Tenuiflora) (Willd.) Poir
    ETHNOGRAPHIC NOTES ON THE USE OF JUREM A (MIMOSA TENUIFLORA) (WILLD.) POIR. BY THE PANKARARE INDIANS (NORTHEAST BRAZIL). Submetido em: 02/11/2014. Aprovado em: 10/12/2014. Edilson Alves dos Santos1, Juracy Marques dos Santos1, Antônio Euzébio Goulart Santana2 1 Universidade do Estado da Bahia Campus VIII, Rua do Bom Conselho, 179, CEP 48.600-000 Paulo Afonso-BA Brazil. 2 Universidade Federal de Alagoas, Instituto de Química e Biotecnologia, Laboratório de Produtos Naturais – 57.0720970, Maceió-AL - Brazil. Corresponding author: Edilson Alves dos Santos, Departamento de Educação, Universidade do Estado da Bahia, Campus VIII, Rua do Bom Conselho, 179, CEP: 48.600-000 Paulo Afonso, BA Brazil. The Pankarare Indians are located in one of the richest areas of biodiversity in the northeastern state of Bahia in Brazi, located within the region known as the Raso da Catarina, in a quadrilateral bounded by the cities of Paulo Afonso, Jeremoabo, Canudos and Macururé. This is one of the driest regions of the state, where the caatinga (savanna) and the basins of the San Francisco and Vaza-Barris rivers served as the stage for the Cangaço (social banditry in northeast Brazil), the Canudos Revolt and the development of the hydro-based energy industry. The climate is semi-arid and the vegetation predominantly caatinga (savanna), with deciduous woody vegetation dominated by prickly seagrass, especially cacti and bromeliads (Costa Neto, 1999). More precisely, this indigenous group is found concentrated in Brejo do Burgo, 40 km from Paulo Afonso, on the northern border of Raso. A small portion of the indigenous people inhabit the Serrota (6 km south of Brejo), below Chico (Bandeira, 2003).
