Sorry about the lack of accents. I haven't figured out how to do them on my Linux computer yet. This is from a medical expert's report for an examination performed on a person suspected of a crime and who is in custody. Everyone placed in custody for a 24 our period is subjected to this exam.

signs of opiate use/intoxication
Explanation:
not just any drugs

http://www.edrugrehab.com/3-signs-of-opiate-abuse.html

For some drugs and some addicts, the signs of intoxication are very obvious; this is not always the case with opiates. Opiates are a class of drug that includes heroin, Vicodin, Oxycontin, morphine, Fentanyl and many others. Because an opiate addict's body eventually develops a tolerance to the effects of opiates, someone who is abusing this class of drug may not appear obviously intoxicated.
