Description:Discusses the effects, side effects, and dangers of barbiturate use and abuse.This group of psychoactive drugs is comprised largely of sleeping pills and tranquillizers, most of which are legally manufactured and doctor-prescribed for insomnia or anxiety. Barbiturates not only sedate, they intoxicate. Are they addictive? What side effects can result if they are combined with alcohol? People turn to barbiturates for a variety of reasons, but using downers to treat persistent insomnia or depression simply masks the problem and can lead to severe complications.

They will learn what happens to a drug when it enters the body. They will learn what it means to get "hooked" and how it happens. They will learn how drugs affect their driving, their school work, and those around them--their peers, their family, their friends and their employers.
