d.  Program Summary & Objectives: Drugs cause people to do strange things.  While some drugs make people feel mellow, others lead to hyperactivity and everything in between.  Sometimes people act "drunk" but there is no alcohol in the system, signaling other drugs might be the cause.  Usage of multiple types of drugs mixes the symptoms, making things even more difficult.  What's a first responder, new law enforcement officer, parent, teacher, or concerned citizen to do when encountering someone who is exhibiting strange behaviors that you just can't figure out?

During this hour-long broadcast, learn what types of drugs cause particular behaviors and responses.  See what field tests could be useful in determining what is causing certain behaviors.  Discover how some illnesses can mask symptoms.  Learn how to document your results so they stand up in court.  

Learning Objectives:

-         Learn how to identify drug use

-         Learn about the different classes of drugs

-         See which drugs cause certain behaviors

-         See which tests can help you determine if someone is on drugs
