Have any book suggestions about first-hand drug addiction experiences: (see details)?
Question by Spec Tac: Have any book suggestions about first-hand drug addiction experiences: (see details)?
Looking for something that is non-fiction or accurate fiction, which gives a first hand experience of serious drug addictions that blur the lines between reality and the mind. Probably a drug addiction like Heroin or Oxycontin, somethihg that can really make a person confused and lost in their own mind.
I am really looking for something that gets into the confused consciousness/perspective of someone really deep into such a drug that might make you loose touch with reality, something that gives a first-person account.

Answer by Kassie18
I am not sure what your asking but I think your asking what shows up on a drug test and in that case any drugs do. There are different classes there are opiates, which all pain pills like oxy’s, vocodin morphine percocet…thinkgs like methadone and heroin will all test positive for opiates. There is cocaine which coke and crack will test positive for that. There is excstacy, and marijuana, and methamphetamines. Some will test for benzodiazapines which are valuim or xanax or klonopin. There are some professional ones that tst for ketamine, pcp, acid. They can honestly test for everything.
Answer by Pamela R
The National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) requires that companies test for five specific categories of drugs. Most drug testing companies will provide a test that checks for all five categories. These five categories include:
· Cocaine – Includes Cocaine, Crack and Benzoylecognine
· Cannabinoids – Includes Marijuana and Hash
· Amphetamines – Includes Speed, Methamphetamines and amphetamines
· Opiates – Includes Heroin, Opium, Codeine and Morphine
· Phencyclidine – PCP
Depending on what profession you are in or what business or governmental department you are required to take a drug test for, there may be expansion tests required. These test for additional drugs such as:
· Barbiturates – Including Phenobarbital, Scorbarbitol and Butalbital
· Hydrocodone – Including Vicodin and Lortab
· Mehqualone – Known most commonly as Quaaludes or Ludes
· Benzodiazepines – Includes Valium, Xanax, Librium, Serax and Rohypnol
· Methadone
· Propoxyphene – Includes Darvon compounds
· Ethanol – Known as Alcohol
· MDMA or Ecstasy
Drugs that can be tested for, but are not commonly tested for include:
· LSD
· Tryptamines – Including Psilocybin, AMT, DMT, DPT, 5-MeO-DiPT
· Phenethylamines – Including Mescaline, MDMA, MDA, MDE, 2C-B, 2C-T-7
· Inhalants – Including Toluene, Xylene and Benzene
