Go to the Other Drugs module and choose "Drug Challenge Exploration" under Wellness Activities. Complete the activity, taking into account the variety of stimulants you encounter or have at your disposal on a daily basis. Go to your medicine cabinet or wherever you keep OTC Drugs and take out those you use often or have used before. Have you ever mixed these drugs with another in the activity? You may not realize that they can react with something as simple as a cup of coffee or a soda. Have you ever experienced any of the side effects? Next under Wellness Activities, choose "Drugs: Are You at Risk?" to gauge your attitudes about drugs. Taking methamphetamines is a current trend in America. How common is it on your campus? Compare your results to those who have tried meth, use it regularly, and mix it with other drugs. Compare your findings with the attitudes presented in this activity. Do you find any common characteristics? What are the common attitudes towards meth usage? Also in the Other Drugs module, click Stages of Change and choose "Assess Yourself" to investigate your relationship with stimulants and other drugs. Do you use any stimulants? Do you feel they affect your health? Do you have a desire to stop? Where do you place on the behavioral change model? |
