Session 3:  Day 7  Reviewed and reiterated information pertaining to the use of Tobacco.  Talked about second hand smoke and how some people have been diagnosed with diseases related to the second hand smoke that they have been exposed to for years.

We then began our discussion of Opiates.  You may have heard the term "Narcotics", they are basically the same.  This is a group of drugs made from the opium poppy plant.  They are EXTREME depressants.  The most common legal opiates are morphine and codeine.  The major illegal opiate used today is heroin.  Oh, and for the record, no, your future drug test will not come back negative because you ate poppy seed chicken.  Yes, it comes from the poppy plant, but no, it doesn't contain enough of the opiate to cause a "+" result on a common drug test.

Finally, STEROIDS, the drug that boys are much more interested in than girls.  An anabolic steroid is a chemical that resembles the male hormone testosterone.  It can cause an increase in muscle size, as we have all seen on television and in major sports.  However, it also causes emotional and physical consequences as well.   A loss of control of emotions and self-control is not uncommon with consistent steroid users.  It even has it's own name - "Roid Rage".  There are other physical consequences that include liver disease.  A buff body outside  makes for a diseased body inside when anabolic steroids are involved!
