Answer to Question 1

The club drugs include Ecstasy, GHB, ketamine, Rohypnol, methamphetamine, and LSD. They are so called because
they are used at all-night dance parties called raves or trances. The most common over-the-counter medications
that are abused today are cough and cold medications and expectorants. Cough and cold medications often contain
dextromethorphan (DXM), which is a synthetic drug that is chemically similar to morphine.

Answer to Question 2

Marijuana is most often smoked in a pipe or in cigarette or cigar form, or it can be eaten in baked goods. Cocaine is
snorted, smoked or injected. Club drugs such as Ecstasy, GHB, Rohypnol, methamphetamine and LSD are usually
taken in pill or tablet form.
