6 36th Annual Crime Prevention Guide - 36e Guide annuel de la prévention du crime Drug abuse is becoming more prevalent among teenagers and preteens. Teenagers who struggle with addiction spend a lot of time and money high on drugs, which causes them to frequently neglect dental hygiene because they cannot pay a dentist or cease caring about brushing their teeth. . MORE INFORMATION: Dr. Bella Panjwani HI-TECH FAMILY DENTISTRY 506-634-8858 INFO@GENTLE-DENTAL.CA An interview of Dr. Bella with CBC discussing the importance of the dental health education. BETTER COMMUNITY STARTS WITH BETTER ORAL HEALTH Drug abuse can adversely affect dental health in the following ways: drugs will make you feel dry mouthed, which increases acid in the mouth and leads to rotting enamel. Some drugs can lead to jaw-clenching and tooth grinding. This may lead to damaged or chipped teeth, migraines, and jaw pain. Additionally, many drugs can cause a craving for sugar, which can cause tooth decay. HOW DRUG ABUSE AFFECTS TEEN'S DENTAL HEALTH

In a safe environment, youth between 14 and 21 work on the root causes of their addiction problems and learn how to live a healthy and positive life free from drugs and other substances. The therapeutic community and support from other residents in similar situations are there to help you regain your confidence and self-esteem. At Portage, we often say that only you can do it, but you can’t do it alone. We offer an bilingual residential drug addiction rehabilitation program adapted to your needs, that can last up to 6 months. Throughout the process, your needs will be re-evaluated and adjusted according to your evolution and the achievement of your goals. Once the residential phase is complete, you and your peers will join a support group who will help accompany you in achieving your life’s goals. Portage Atlantic offers a mandatory school program for youth, taught by certified teachers from the Department of Education. The curriculum is adapted to your needs to help you reach your academic goals. Aftercare and continuing care services help you reconnect with family and loved ones, build healthy social networks and maintain a positive lifestyle after treatment. Le programme bilingue pour adolescents et jeunes adultes (14-21 ans) de Portage est un programme résidentiel longue durée de réadaptation en dépendance situé à Cassidy Lake au NouveauBrunswick. Dans un environnement sécuritaire, les jeunes travaillent sur les causes premières de leurs problèmes de dépendance et ainsi apprennent à vivre une vie saine et positive sans avoir à recourir aux drogues. La communauté thérapeutique, grâce au soutien des autres résidents qui vivent une situation similaire, permet de retrouver la confiance et l’estime de toi. À Portage on dit souvent que « Toi seul peux le faire, mais tu ne peux le faire seul! ». Située sur le site, une école conçue en fonction des besoins spécifiques des jeunes leur donne les outils nécessaires pour poursuivre leurs études avec succès. Nous offrons un programme adapté aux jeunes adultes afin de les accompagner dans leur vie futur. Des ateliers d’orientation de carrière et de gestion du patrimoine sont à disposition.

Teenagers Drug Abuse Prevention - Prévention de l'abus de drogues chez les adolescents 41 LEARN MORE ABOUT DRUGS TO HELP YOU HAVE INFORMED AND EFFECTIVE SAFETY TALKS WITH YOUR KIDS ALCOHOL ALSO KNOWN AS: booze, cocktails, firewater, grog, hooch, juice, liquor, moonshine, rotgut, sauce, spirits, tipple, vino. Underage drinking is very common in Canada. The average age of first time alcohol use in Canada is 13 years old. Close to 80% of young Canadians 15 years and older have reported drinking alcohol during the past year. It is the substance that the majority of young people in grades 7 through 12 will try first.1 There are several reasons that a teen might decide to drink alcohol. Adolescence is an exciting time, but it can also be a time where peer pressure, boredom, risk-taking and the need to ‘fit in’ become important factors in a teenager’s life. Sometimes the opinions and actions of your teen’s friends matter more to them than yours. Young people may drink because they may feel a need to be like their friends or older siblings, or because they may see it happening all around them, on social media or at parties. They may be copying your drinking habits, or they may use alcohol to help them relax or deal with stress or anxiety they may feel. Whatever the reason, the younger the person is when they begin drinking, the higher the risk for poor health and problems related to alcohol consumption later in life.2 What is alcohol? Alcohol, also known as ethanol or ethyl alcohol, is a legal substance known for its psychoactive properties. Pure ethanol is clear and colourless liquid that is present at varying levels in alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine or spirits. Alcoholic beverages get their distinctive colours from their ingredients and from the process of fermentation. What does alcohol look like & how is it used? Beer, wine and cider are made through the fermentation process – a natural process in which yeast changes sugar into alcohol. Typically, this biological process creates alcoholic drinks with lower concentrations of alcohol – in the range of 4% to 15%. Spirits, such as gin, rum, whiskey and vodka are created when alcohol is distilled. Distillation is an industrial process that makes spirits with higher alcohol concentrations – 40% or more. There are two other types of alcohol – these are never safe to drink. Isopropyl Alcohol (known as rubbing alcohol) is used in sterilization agents, such as hand sanitizers and in everyday cleaning products and cosmetics. Methyl Alcohol (known as methanol or wood alcohol is used as an industrial solvent, antifreeze and fuel for camping stoves. continued

Teenagers Drug Abuse Prevention - Prévention de l'abus de drogues chez les adolescents 43 ALCOHOL (continued) Signs and symptoms of alcohol use Effects and Risks For many people, a single drink of alcohol releases tension and reduces inhibition, making them feel more at ease and outgoing. Some people feel happy or excited when they drink, while others become depressed or hostile. Suicide and violent crimes often involve alcohol. Women are generally more sensitive to the effects of alcohol than men, and all adults become increasingly sensitive to alcohol’s effects as they age. When someone is more sensitive, it takes less alcohol to cause intoxication and more time for the body to eliminate the alcohol consumed. Early signs of alcohol intoxication include: • flushed skin • impaired judgment • reduced inhibition Continued drinking increases these effects and causes other effects, such as: • impaired attention • reduced muscle control • slowed reflexes • staggering gait • slurred speech • double or blurred vision. A severely intoxicated person may “black out,” and have no memory of what was said or done while drinking. Effects of extreme intoxication include inability to stand, vomiting, stupor, coma and death.3 1 – Canadian Tobacco, Alcohol and Drugs Survey, October 2018 2 – Health Canada – https://www.canada.ca/en/healthcanada/services/substance-use/alcohol/about.html 3 – CAMH – https://www.camh.ca/en/health-info/mental-illnessand-addiction-index/alcohol CANNABIS ALSO KNOWN AS: marijuana, bud, blunt, chronic, dab, dope, ganja, grass, green, herb, joint, loud, Mary Jane, MJ, pot, reefer, skunk, smoke, trees, wax, or weed. Variants include: hash, shatter, K2, spice. Get to know more about cannabis and explore the effects that early use of cannabis products can have on a young person’s life, then have a conversation with your child. Cannabis is the second most commonly used substance in Canada, after alcohol. Cannabis is a product of the plant Cannabis Sativa. The main active chemical in cannabis is THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol). Of the roughly 400 chemicals found in the cannabis plant, THC affects the brain the most. It is a mindaltering chemical that gives those who use cannabis a high. Another active chemical in cannabis is CBD (cannabidiol), which is being studied for its potential medical applications and its ability to moderate the effects of THC. What does cannabis look like & how is it used? Cannabis can be consumed in several ways; inhaled, ingested, or applied topically, and there are significant differences in the way the effects are felt. Dried cannabis can be rolled into a cigarette, called a “joint” or in a cigar, called a “blunt”. It can be smoked in a water pipe or “bong” or vaped in an e-cigarette or other vaping devices. Cannabis edibles can be brewed as tea, infused into drinks, or mixed into food and ingested as candies, cookies, and brownies. Consuming cannabis edibles like brownies or cookies is considered by some youth to be a less risky way of consuming than smoking it. Ingesting cannabis can have delayed and unpredictable effects. A long waiting time is recommended when ingesting cannabis products to avoid the accumulation of effects. continued

Teenagers Drug Abuse Prevention - Prévention de l'abus de drogues chez les adolescents 45 CANNABIS (continued) Cannabis extracts, which include oils and tinctures can also be ingested or inhaled in a pipe or bong and/or vaped with an e-cigarette or other vaping devices. Cannabis extracts can often have more concentrated levels of THC. All cannabis products are legal for retail sale only at licensed outlets. Cannabis should be produced by licensed producers and purchased only from licensed vendors. Evidence suggests that illegal cannabis products can be contaminated with pesticides and harmful chemicals.1 Synthetic cannabinoids like K2 or Spice should be completely avoided. Inhalation vs Ingestion – What’s the difference? Depending on how it is consumed, cannabis affects the body in different ways. Inhaling – Smoking or Vaping When cannabis or cannabis extracts like oils are inhaled or vaped, THC is delivered directly to the lungs, passes through the bloodstream, and on to the brain where the effects (the “high”) are felt within minutes of inhaling. • A few seconds or minutes to start to feel some of the effects • 30 minutes to feel the full effects • 6 hours for some of the acute or immediate effects to subside • Some residual effects last up to 24 hours The number of Ontario high school students (grades 7- 12) vaping cannabis doubled between 2015 (5%) and 2019 (10%).2 Important to know: Vaping is considered to be a smoking cessation aid for adults who already smoke. Vaping is not considered safe at all for youth, young adults, pregnant women, or any adult who does not already use tobacco products. Ingesting – Eating or Drinking The effects of ingesting cannabis are delayed – they can take much longer to appear. When cannabis edibles or beverages are ingested, THC travels to the stomach, then to your liver before reaching your bloodstream and brain. The liver metabolizes the THC to a stronger chemical called 11-hydroxy-THC, which combined with the THC consumed, can make the “high” seem more intense. Depending on the individual, the effects of eating cannabis can take 30 minutes to two hours to be felt. • 30 minutes to 2 hours to start to feel some of the effects • 4 hours to feel the full effects • Up to 12 hours for acute effects to subside • Some residual effects can last up to 24 hours Cannabis edible consumption by Ontario high school students in Grades 7 through 12 increased between 2017 and 2019 – from 11% to 14%. 3 Signs & symptoms of cannabis use There is no single reason why a young person might choose to use cannabis. A teen or young adult may try cannabis for social reasons, as a way to fit in or socialize with their peers, or because they think “everyone is doing it.” They may also use cannabis as a coping mechanism to deal with life stresses,4 to help them sleep, stimulate their appetite or reduce worry or stress.5 Effects and Risks If a young person is self-medicating with cannabis to cope with anxiety or stress, they may be more likely to continue if it works for them. They might think “ When I feel stressed out, I smoke pot and it relaxes me”. They may continue to use cannabis instead of finding healthy behaviours as alternatives – like sports, hanging out with a friend, playing music, talking to someone about their feelings, or reading a book – that can help in coping with the stress they feel. continued

Teenagers Drug Abuse Prevention - Prévention de l'abus de drogues chez les adolescents 47 CANNABIS (continued) Frequent or regular use of cannabis can lead to cannabis use disorder or addiction. It has an effect on the brain’s reward system – as do all other addictive drugs – the likelihood of developing problem use or addiction increases considerably for those who start young.6 Cannabis and Canadian youth The rate of cannabis use is over two times higher among Canadian youth and young adults than adults.7 Canadian youth continue to have one of the highest rates of cannabis use worldwide. In 2018, the World Health Organization compared lifetime cannabis use among youth aged 15 across 40 countries and found that use by Canadian youth was the third-highest, 23% of boys and 21% of girls.8 An estimated one in 5 Ontario students in grades 7-12 (22%) used cannabis in 2019.9 Cannabis use by students across Canada increased from 16.7% in 2016 – 2017 to 18.1% in 2018 – 201910 It’s estimated that 1 in 6 teens who consume cannabis will develop a cannabis use disorder. 11 Cannabis was the most common substance associated with substance-related hospitalizations for youth aged 10 to 24 years in 2017–2018.12 1 – Journal of Toxicology, 2013 Nicholas Sullivan et al. 2,3 – OSDUHS 2019 4,5 – McKiernan &Fleming 2017 Canadian Youth Perceptions on Cannabis, CCSA 6 – Drug Alcohol Depend, Winters and Lee 2008. 7 – Canadian Drug Summary – CCSA May 2020 8 – Health Behaviour in School-aged Children 2018, World Health Organization 9 – OSDUHS 2019 10 – Canadian Student Tobacco, Alcohol and Drugs Survey 2018–2019 (CSTADS) 11 – Government of Canada.

Hospital Stays for Harm Caused by Substance Use Among Youth Age 10 to 24 COCAINE & CRACK ALSO KNOWN AS: Angie, blow, C, Charlie, coke, crack, flake, freebase, hard, Henry, nose candy, rock, snow, stardust. Cocaine is a powerful stimulant made from the leaves of the coca plant. The purified chemical, cocaine hydrochloride, was isolated from the plant more than 100 years ago. Before the development of synthetic local anesthetic, surgeons used cocaine to block pain.1 It was considered safe and used in toothache drops, nausea pills, energy tonics, and, of course, the original “Coca-Cola” beverage.2 However, research has since shown that cocaine is a powerfully addictive substance that can alter brain structure and function if used repeatedly.3 The two main varieties available are a watersoluble white powder, which is often mixed with other substances such as cornstarch, to be snorted or injected, and a water-insoluble whitish opaque crystal, known as crack.4 Crack cocaine or “freebase” are smokeable forms of cocaine which look like crystals or rocks that can be smoked or dissolved and injected. These cheaper forms of cocaine are made by chemically processing cocaine powder with baking soda or ammonia. In 2019, cocaine was the most commonly used illegal drug, accounting for approximately half (49%) of illegal drug use.5 Individuals who have tried cocaine have described the experience as a strong “high” that gave them a feeling of supremacy. However, once someone starts taking cocaine, one cannot predict or control the extent to which they will continue to use the drug. What do cocaine & crack look like and how are they used? continued

Teenagers Drug Abuse Prevention - Prévention de l'abus de drogues chez les adolescents 49 COCAINE & CRACK (cont’d) Effects and Risks The major ways of taking cocaine are sniffing or snorting, injecting, and smoking (including freebase and crack cocaine). Health risks of use exist regardless of whether cocaine is inhaled (snorted), injected, or smoked. A regular cocaine snorting habit is evident by a red, chapped, runny nose. A person may lose his/her sense of smell and develop sinus infections. The wall that separates the nostrils may develop a hole and bleed often. Smoking allows extremely high doses of cocaine to reach the brain very quickly and results in an intense and immediate high, it appears that compulsive cocaine use may develop even more rapidly when smoked rather than snorted. Sharing crack pipes can lead to the transmission of diseases like Hepatitis C through saliva or blood and the injection of cocaine places the user at risk for acquiring or transmitting HIV infection/AIDS if needles or other injection equipment are shared. Signs & symptoms of cocaine & crack use A person on cocaine may feel agitated and nervous. Cocaine can also produce euphoria (“high”) and can make a person feel mentally alert, energetic and talkative. The senses of sight, sound, and touch are heightened. A person may feel more calm and in control. However, all of these effects do not last long. When the “high” wears off, the person may feel anxious or depressed and have intense cravings for the drug. Some people stay “high” by using the drug for hours or days. Short-term use of cocaine can produce many other effects: • postponement of physical and mental fatigue • reduced appetite • increased blood pressure and heart rate • exaggerated reflexes • rapid breathing • dilation of pupils • dry mouth • anxiety • paranoid thinking In addition, a person could potentially experience: • severe agitation • paranoid psychosis • nausea and vomiting • elevated body temperature and cold sweat 1.

Fentanyl is much stronger than most opioids – 40 times more potent than heroin and 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine. Fentanyl is extremely dangerous if used non-medically – even a small amount can cause an accidental overdose and death. Fentanyl is an extremely powerful synthetic opiate analgesic that is similar to but much more potent than morphine. As the most potent opiate pain relief medication available, it is typically prescribed to treat patients with severe pain, or to manage pain after surgery. It is also sometimes used to treat people with chronic pain who are physically tolerant to opiates. Like heroin, morphine, and other opioid drugs, fentanyl works by binding to the body’s opiate receptors, highly concentrated in areas of the brain that control pain and emotions. When opiate drugs bind to these receptors, they can drive up dopamine levels in the brain’s reward areas, producing a state of euphoria and relaxation. Fentanyl and fentanyl analogues are controlled under Schedule I of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Activities such as sale, possession and production are illegal, unless authorized for medical, scientific or industrial purposes. continued
