The line of distinction between what prescription drugs and street drugs are has been forever
altered. Prescription medications have become the fastest growing classification of drugs being
sold illicitly. In addition, there are a wide range of new street drugs being made available to
users that are more potent and more dangerous than any seen in past history. This course will
utilize lecture, films, case vignettes, and visual depictions of each drug discussed to assist the
participants in identifying and understanding the substances being used in the "new drug
culture" in the United States.
