Inventory#: PEP18-01 Tips for Teens: The Truth About HeroinHeroin can be a white or dark brown powder or a black tar, and is often mixed with other substances that can make it even more dangerous. Heroin slows brain activity, heartbeat, and breathing, and is highly addictive. Inventory#: PEP18-02 Tips for Teens: The Truth About MethamphetamineMethamphetamine (meth) is a white, odorless, bitter-tasting, crystalline powder that dissolves easily in water or alcohol. It can be made from ingredients found in household products. Meth causes brain changes that affect impulse control and stress, making it harder to stop using meth. It also increases heart rate, blood pressure, and risk for stroke. Inventory#: PEP18-03 Tips for Teens: The Truth About InhalantsInhalants are gases or fumes from everyday products that are inhaled or sniffed to cause an immediate high by cutting-off oxygen to the brain.
