When it comes to drugs,

many people may still think only of traditional ones like heroin,

marijuana, and meth.

But drugs are far more than that. Take dextromethorphan,

for example, which is a centrally acting cough suppressant. Taken as prescribed,

it is a very effective cough medicine, but once abused, it can cause hallucinations.

It can also cause dizziness, nausea, shock, and other symptoms,

so as of July 1, 2024,

dextromethorphan has been regulated. Abuse is drug use.

Another example is e- cigarettes. Normal use is not illegal,

but some criminals add regulated drugs like etomidate into the vape liquid.

After inhaling, it can cause hand tremors, convulsions, unsteady standing,

fainting, and other symptoms,

so these“ spiked” e- cigarettes are also considered drugs.

Another example is“ knockout drops,”

whose main ingredient is γ- hydroxybutyric acid and other regulated drugs,

and people who are drugged may have temporary amnesia.

They may faint and even suffocate to death,

and the person who drugs them will definitely not escape legal punishment.

Substances with addictive potential such as rush and laughing gas, when abused,

also cause serious harm to the body.

For example, organ failure and schizophrenia.

Never try them on a whim just because you are curious. You must also stay

away from bad friends and respect yourself. Adding regulated drugs like etomidate…

let me calm down. Memory loss, paralysis, sudden death— abuse will

also cause… never, ever try them just because you are curious…

So never try them on a whim just because you are curious… I am trying so

hard to resist.
