At noon the next day, Niu Tiangou was woken up in his sleep by a soft voice: "Hurry up, it's time for lunch." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Niu Tiangou opened his eyes and saw that Dr. Xue Lian was standing bent over the bed, gently shaking his shoulder.

"Why, you didn't go to work either?" Niu Tiangou rubbed his eyes, turned over and sat up, yawned, and began to get dressed.

"Just came back from middle school for a while." Doctor Xue Lian handed him the pants next to him, "We just had an operation yesterday, and Professor Weng wants you to go to see it in the afternoon and help the patient massage." ”

"Oh." Niu Tiangou replied and got out of bed. I've been busy with my own business for the past few days, and I forgot about going to the hospital.

After getting up and washing briefly, I saw that Dr. Xue Lian had prepared the dishes and put the rice on the table.

After sitting down and eating a few bites of food, he remembered Zhang Lili and Li Xiaohong again, and Niu Tiangou asked casually, "...... Know about drugs? ”

"Drugs?" Doctor Xue Lian was startled, stopped her chopsticks, and stared at him vigilantly, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”

"Oh, that's right." Niu Tiangou was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he smiled faintly and explained, "Our hotel ...... There are a few young ladies who seem to be taking drugs, I only know that drugs are harmful to the human body, and I don't know anything else, and I want to know about this. ”

Niu Tiangou is also telling the truth, he really doesn't know anything about drugs. Although there were occasionally one or two posters about anti-drug in the hotel, they were just a few slogans, pretending, and he had never looked at them carefully, because he had never encountered such things in his life.

In his concept of drugs, there seems to be only two words: opium.

The little bit of "opium knowledge" that remained in his mind seemed to be obtained from history textbooks when he was a student, as if it was called "Humen Selling Tobacco" ...... something?

Yes, it was Lin Zexu Humen who sold cigarettes.

In order to reverse the trade deficit, the tobacco country shamelessly smuggled opium to our country and plundered a large amount of silver from our country, which seriously endangered the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and the physical and mental health of the Chinese people after smoking opium was greatly damaged, especially after the soldiers smoked opium, which greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the army.

At that time, some cities and towns in our country were lined with tobacco houses, and there were thousands of opium smokers. If left unchecked, the country is in danger of extinction.

As a result, the Qing Dynasty government appointed Lin Zexu as the minister of the Qin Mission to start banning smoking, confiscated a large amount of opium, and destroyed it in public on Humen Beach.

Hearing Niu Tiangou's explanation, Dr. Xue Lian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she thought that he who loved to smoke and secretly tried drugs.

It seems that we have to teach him about drugs, so that he can understand the dangers of drugs and stay away from drugs.

"When we talk about drugs, we mainly mean opium poppies."

Dr. Xue Lian's beautiful Danfeng eyes wrinkled slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Since the 17th century, the colonizers of the Yan Kingdom have brought opium poppies to India, because India has fertile land, abundant rain, and a warm climate, which is a paradise for poppies to breed. Soon, opium poppy cultivation was extended to what is now the notorious 'Golden Triangle'.

"The unripe fruit of the opium poppy contains a milky white slurry, which is opium when dried. The husks of opium and opium poppy contain morphine, codeine, papaverine and other alkaloids, which are processed into medicine, and have the effects of astringent lungs, astringent intestines, cough, pain relief and hypnosis, and treat long-term cough, long-term diarrhea, long-term dysentery, prolapse, and pain in the heart and abdomen, but it is easy to be addicted to this medicine for a long time, and it is not suitable to take it regularly.

"Because opium has the effect of relieving pain and stimulating nerves, it is used by some people for recreation and is widely popular, commonly known as 'smoking big cigarettes'. During the Qing Dynasty, the tobacco country and some capitalist countries in the West began to dump opium on a large scale in our country, and the addicts not only sucked up all their family property and caused crimes, but also had a skinny body, which could easily lead to death, and the land of China fell into a deep disaster since then.

Later, chemists separated morphine, a white crystalline powder from opium, and synthesized a white crystal, heroin, from morphine and acetic anhydride.

"Chemists conducted biological experiments on dogs using diacetylmorphine, a drug synthesized from morphine and acetic anhydride, and found that the dogs immediately experienced severe prostration, fear, and lethargy, which led to mild vomiting. However, due to the power of narcotics, pain relief, and can alleviate various painful and unbearable diseases, heroin has been produced as an anesthetic in the country, and has been publicly introduced to many countries and thousands of households in the form of drugs, and is known as the 'panacea'.

"As a result of the serious abuse of heroin, a group of addicts has emerged, and a large number of crimes have been triggered, and the international medical community has finally realized the dangers of the unrestricted use of heroin, and has formulated a set of strict regulations on the production and export of heroin, stipulating that manufacturers can only produce heroin for legitimate medical and scientific needs, so that some lawless criminals have to move heroin production underground."

Speaking of this, Dr. Xue Lian paused for a moment, and then said: "There are many types of drugs, among which heroin is the most poisonous.

"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the government launched a nationwide anti-smoking campaign, and in more than two years, the social nuisance phenomenon of drug planting, drug trafficking, and drug use, which had been endangering our country for more than 100 years, was finally eliminated.

"After the reform and opening up, due to the international drug epidemic, the ugly phenomenon of drug abuse, which has been extinct for more than 30 years on the mainland of our country, has revived, the number of drug addicts has increased rapidly, and the number of deaths due to drug abuse is also rising, and a lot of money has been spent.

"In recent years, synthetic drugs such as methamphetamine, K powder, and ecstasy have come rapidly, and there is a tendency to catch up with and surpass traditional drugs such as heroin and opium.

Niu Tiangou listened stunned, and only then did he know that opium was made from opium poppy, and morphine was isolated from opium, and heroin was synthesized with morphine and other drugs, and their order was "opium poppy-opium-morphine-heroin", opium poppy was the raw material of drugs, and it was no wonder that the government banned people from growing opium poppies.

"Do all the drugs come from the poppy?" Niu Tiangou's confused eyes gradually became clear, and he paused slightly, and couldn't help asking.

"Of course not." Doctor Xue Lian glanced at him, thought for a moment, and continued, "In addition to poppies, there are marijuana, coca leaves, etc. Now there are also chemically synthesized drugs that are several, tens, or even thousands of times more toxic than heroin, and can cause immediate death. ”

Niu Tiangou gasped when he heard this, and remembered that Xu Mengyao's foreman said that Zhang Lili and Li Xiaohong were holding straws in their mouths, sucking back and forth on the tin platinum paper, and asked curiously: "Can drugs only be smoked?" ”

"Not really. Due to the increase in the number of types of drugs, the number of drug use methods has also increased, and now it has developed from the traditional single 'smoking' to 'eating' - oral, as well as direct injection. ”

Seeing that Niu Tiangou really didn't understand, Dr. Xue Lian simply put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "'Sucking' is divided into smoking, sniffing, and scalding.

"Smoking is to put opium (tobacco soil) on a special smoking pen, burn it on a lamp, smoke its smoke, or mix heroin into tobacco, ignite it so that the drug is inhaled into the respiratory tract along with the cigarette smoke, or simply smoke marijuana;

"Nasal inhalation is to take a small tube, the lower end is facing the drug, the upper end is facing the nostril and inhaling hard, or blocking one nostril and inhaling vigorously with only one nostril;

"Scalding is pouring heroin or other drug powder on tin, aluminum foil or metal spoon, heating it with a lighter underneath, and the drug is sublimated into smoke, and the drug addict sucks wisps of poisonous smoke with his mouth and nose, or inhales the smoke into the respiratory tract with a straw in his mouth, which is a way of hot inhalation, and addicts call it 'walking board' or 'chasing the dragon'."

Niu Tiangou then understood that Zhang Lili and Li Xiaohong accompanied the guests in the way of drug use called "hot smoking", probably because the bottom of the drug has to be heated through paper "plates" such as tin platinum and aluminum foil, so it is called "walking board", and probably because the mouth, nose or small tube has to "chase" the smoke to move, so it is called "chasing the dragon".

"Long-term drug use through the respiratory tract can cause malignant irritation to the respiratory system, and mild cases are prone to tracheitis, and severe cases can lead to pneumonia, emphysema and lung cancer."

Dr. Xue Lian continued: "The second way is 'eating', which is taken orally or swallowed or taken under the tongue, which addicts call 'drugs'.

"Drugs (such as ecstasy, magu pills, etc.) are swallowed directly into the gastrointestinal tract after being swallowed from the mouth, absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, and entered the blood circulation.

"The third way is injections. Drugs are injected subcutaneously, intramuscularly, arterial and intravenous, and in recent years, intravenous injection is very popular among drug users, and addicts call it 'pricking' or 'opening the skylight'.

"When the drug is taken to a certain extent, the amount is small or the purity is not enough, the drug addict will not find the 'fluttering feeling', so it is necessary to use the means of 'pricking' with quick effect and great stimulation, so that the drug can directly enter the blood circulation, in order to seek a short-term 'pleasure'.

"This way of injecting drugs is the most harmful, not only will the drug addiction become bigger and bigger, but also because the syringes are not sterilized or sterilized strictly, and drug addicts often share a syringe, it is very easy to be infected or cross-infected with various other diseases, such as bacterial endocarditis, tetanus, sepsis, tuberculosis, transverse myelitis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and other serotypes of hepatitis, HIV, etc., a large part of AIDS patients in China are caused by intravenous drug use.

"Especially the 'open skylight' type of intravenous injection, drugs directly enter the whole body with the blood, if the dose is not well controlled, it is easy to overdose, resulting in sudden death, a large number of statistics at home and abroad have fully proved this."

"If that's the case, how can so many people take drugs?" Niu Tian asked puzzledly, "How would you feel when you first took drugs?" ”

"The feeling of starting to use drugs may vary depending on the type of drug and the way you use it. Some people only have excitement and pleasure, which is easy for people who have not yet become addicted to continue to smoke, leading to addiction; Some people have discomfort, manifested as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, general fatigue, drowsiness, lack of concentration, blurred vision, anxiety, upset, hallucinations and even cerebral palsy. Some people experience both pleasure and discomfort. ”

"This drug is really harmful." Hearing this, Niu Tiangou couldn't help but muttered to himself.

Seeing that Niu Tiangou had some insights, Dr. Xue Lian smiled: "Yes, there are at least a few harms of drug abuse: first, it endangers one's body, often causing drowsiness, dysesthesia, motor disorders, hallucinations, delusions, disorientation, etc.

"Second, it endangers the happiness of the family. Once there is a drug addict who spends a lot of money in the family, it means that poverty and contradictions will always accompany the family, and the final outcome is often bankrupt, or even the separation of wives, and drug abuse will also seriously affect the normal reproductive ability, and it is not uncommon for drug addicts to give birth to deformed children and freaks. Is there still happiness in such a family?

"Third, it endangers social stability. The price of drugs is higher than the price of gold, a drug addict consumes 0.5~1 gram of drugs every day, and the monthly cost is as low as several thousand yuan, which is unbearable for ordinary people and ordinary families.

"In order to maintain drug consumption, the only way out for drug addicts is to participate in drug trafficking, to sell and support drugs, or to obtain high prices for drug purchases through illegal means such as theft, robbery, and prostitution, which will inevitably undermine social stability and harmony." Fourth, the toxicity of drugs is difficult to eliminate. After drug addiction, drug addicts have a strong sense of dependence on drugs, and once they stop smoking, they will have symptoms such as restlessness, anxiety, hot and cold, goosebumps, tears, runny nose, sweating, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

"The pain of this withdrawal reaction, in turn, motivates drug addicts to go to drug addiction desperately to avoid this pain, to purchase drugs without financial resources, or to die from various complications caused by severe physical drug withdrawal, or to commit suicide due to unbearable pain.

"There are many drug addicts who are addicted to drugs, even after the drug addiction is basically controlled through drug rehabilitation treatment, it often takes months or even years to fully recover the original physiological functions, and when the time comes, it is very easy to relapse, which is also a difficult problem to be solved by the world's medical community.

"Drugs are like devils, once entangled, it is extremely difficult to get out, making people go crazy, unable to survive or die. Therefore, it is a wise choice to stay away from drugs and never touch them. Dr. Xue Lian finally said.

Dr. Xue Lian's words really taught Niu Tiangou another lesson, and Niu Tiangou sat at the table and pondered for a while.

Last time, Dr. Xue Lian told him the theory of "spittoon", which made him convincingly and consciously reject Miss, and this conversation made him happily and convincingly alert to the dangers of drugs.

This young lady is engaged in sex work, which is really a pitiful and dangerous profession, both susceptible to venereal diseases and drugs, and "pornography" and "drugs" may ruin their lives at any time.

It seems that he has to talk to Zhang Lili and Li Xiaohong in person, help them understand the harm and seriousness of drug abuse, and make them realize that there is an abyss and death in front of drug addicts, so as to awaken their rationality and consciously reject drugs.

He thought they should be able to listen to him, he could feel it in the way they looked at him.
