Types of Narcotics

PCP Phencyclidine or PCP

Phencyclidine or PCP is a hallucinogen that produces an extreme distortion in someone’s perception. Originating in the 1950s as a type of IV anesthetic, its use was halted in light of its unwanted effects on people. In addition to short-term effects, PCP may have dangerous long-term ramifications like substance use disorder, overdose or death.


GHB

Gamma Hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is a central nervous system depressant that is specifically unsafe as it is often taken along with alcohol and other kinds of drugs. There is a risk of overdose due to the mixing of drugs. Respiratory depression may ensue, which might lead to long-term effects or death. Medical treatment and early intervention is recommended if one is suspected of having substance use disorder.


Methamphetamine (Crystal Meth)

Originating in the early 1900s from its parent drug amphetamine, Methamphetamine is a highly habit-forming stimulant that affects the nervous system. Unfortunately, overdose is prevalent and may take place even in smaller doses. Early intervention and medical support are recommended if substance use disorder is suspected.


MDMA - Ecstasy, Molly

MDMA, (AKA: Ecstasy, Molly) is a widespread after-hours drug that will often have bad side effects, both short and long term. The makeup of MDMA is similar to that of both stimulants and hallucinogens. However, much of today’s Ecstasy actually doesn’t contain MDMA, but are “bath salts” instead This blend of synthetic cathinone produces a psychological impact comparable to MDMA but might have potentially lethal side effects like sever hypertension, muscle breakdown, dehydration, seizures, severe psychosis, kidney failure, or possibly death.


Crack

Crack is a rock-like form of cocaine intended for smoking. The smoke-based delivery system provides an instant effect which is a primary reason behind the drug’s proliferation. Early intervention and medical support are essential in light of the high risk of overdose and substance use disorder.


Ketamine

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic designed to produce loss of consciousness or mitigate/remove pain. Because of its dissociative and hallucinogenic characteristics, it's a popular choice for nightlife, parties and festivals. Predominant threats of usage include substance use disorder and the heightened likelihood of amnesia, psychosis and other major issues.


Kratom

Kratom is a psychotropic substance that can cause side effects akin to both opioids and stimulants. The mood-altering effects of Kratom may be short-lived and long-term resulting in serious damage. Early intervention and medical care is important.

Cocaine

Cocaine is a strong stimulant that is extraordinarily addictive. The drug is both easily found and unsafe. It can result in substance use disorder, overdoses, or even death. Frequent symptoms of overdose include cardiac arrest, stroke, and seizures. The addictive nature of the substance and the threat overdosing means intervention and medical care is essential when usage of Cocaine is discovered.
