Ecstasy: Adam (MDMA) Beans Eve (MDE) Love (MDA) Methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) Methylenedioxyethylamphetamine (MDE)
Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) Molly Rolls X XTC
MDMA increases dopamine, norepinephrine and to a greater extent, serotonin. With high doses, users can experience jitteriness, teeth clenching, dry mouth, muscle cramping and nausea. MDMA can cause a distorted sense of perception, hallucinogen-like effects and hyperactivity. Overdose can occur leading to increased body temperature, hypertension and kidney failure. Ecstasy is often combined in tablet or powder form with other drugs of abuse such as: methamphetamine, dextromethorphan, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, caffeine, cocaine, piperazine drugs (mCPP, TFMPP, BZP) and ketamine. This increases the risks of adverse effects. Gastrointestinal (Anti-Diarrheal): Donnatal (phenobarbital/atropine/hyoscyamine/ scopolamine elixir oral, tablet oral) Donnatal Extentabs (phenobarbital/atropine/hyoscyamine/ scopolamine tablet ER oral) Lomotil (atropine/diphenoxylate solution oral, tablet oral) Lonox (atropine/diphenoxylate tablet oral)
Motofen (atropine/difenoxin tablet oral) Opium (morphine tincture oral) Also opiate Paregoric (morphine tincture oral) Also opiate Viberzi (eluxadoline oral)
Diphenoxylate is a member of the opioid class of drugs. Atropine is added to discourage abuse for recreational purposes. At recommended doses, the atropine causes no effects but in larger doses, unpleasant symptoms are experienced. Prolonged use with high doses may cause physical and psychological dependence. Adverse reactions of euphoria and feeling drunk were reported in clinical trials with the use of Viberzi. Paregoric and Opium belong to the opiate class of medications. See opiates section for more information. Gastrointestinal (Antispasmodic): Librax (chlordiazepoxide/clidinium capsule oral) Chlordiazepoxide is also a benzodiazepine Librax can cause drowsiness, ataxia and confusion. Withdrawal can occur after prolonged use. See benzodiazepine section for more information.

Hallucinogens: 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine (2-CB) Ayahuasca (caapi, yage, vegetal) Belladonna Alkaloids (atropine, scopolamine, belladonna, deadly nightshade, Jimsonweed, stink weed, mandrake) Dextromethorphan (CCC, robo, red devils, poor man’s PCP, DXM, Dex) Dimethyltryptamine (DMT, businessman’s special) Ketamine (Special K, K)
Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (acid, blotter, California sunshine, LSD, microdot, paper, trip, yellow sunshine and many others) Mescaline (buttons, mesc, mescal, topi, peyote) Phencyclidine (PCP, angel dust, T, PeaCe pill) Psilocybin (boomers, magic mushroom, shrooms) Salvia Divinorum (ska, Maria, la Maria, ska Pastora)
People using high doses of hallucinogens begin to perceive an experience as actually happening when it is not. Hallucinogen effects include feelings of detachment from one’s surroundings, emotional swings and an altered sense of space and time. Hallucinations and a sense of separation from one’s body can occur. Physical effects include jitteriness, racing or slowed heart rate, chills, nausea, numbness and changes in coordination. Belladonna alkaloids can stimulate the heart and increase body temperature. At the point where hallucinations occur, the user is at or very near a life-threatening level. PCP can cause seizures, coma, or psychosis lasting several days. “Flashbacks” of the original hallucination can occur. Inhalants: Aimes Anesthetics (nitrous oxide, Whippets, halothane, ether) Bolt Bullets Climax Fuels (butane, propane, gasoline) Glues Locker Room
Nitrites (amyl, butyl) Paints Poppers Rush Snappers Solvents (benzene, toluene, methanol, chloroform, freon, coolants) Sprays
Nitrites can cause visual distortions and sedation occurs as the dose increases. Solvent use can cause disorientation and loss of muscle coordination. Long term effects can include depression, hallucinations and damage to the brain, heart, liver, lungs and kidneys. All solvent use can lead to overdose at increased doses.

Marijuana: Blanche Bhang Charas (extracted plant resin) Dagga Ganga Grass Hash (hash oil) Hashish (tar) Herb
Marinol (dronabinol) Old Man Pot Reefer Sinsemilla Smoke (dried plant material) THC Weed
Drowsiness and sedation follow the initial effects of marijuana. Eating marijuana can lead to hallucinations. Because it takes a long time to eliminate THC from the body, a person’s cognitive function can be affected for a day or more after a single dose. Marijuana can impair judgement and coordination. The effects of marijuana on learning and memory can be long-lasting. Chronic marijuana smoking can lead to lung damage. Chronic usage can also lead to tolerance, dependence and withdrawal if stopped suddenly. Neuropathic Pain: Lyrica (pregabalin capsule oral, solution oral) Lyrica can lead to withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuation. It also produces euphoria, blurred vision, difficulty with attention and concentration and a “drunk or high” feeling in certain individuals. Opiates: Alfenta (alfentanyl solution injection) Belladonna & Opium (suppository rectal) Buprenorphine Bunavail (buprenorphine/naloxone film, buccal) Buprenex (buprenorphine injection solution) Butrans (buprenorphine transdermal patch) Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone film, sublingual)

Opiates, Continued:
Opiate use causes decreased sensitivity to pain as well as slowed breathing, skin flushing, pinpoint pupils, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting and constipation. Overdose can be lethal as the opiate suppresses the respiratory system. Tolerance or drug dependence may result from extended use. Buprenorphine binds to mu receptors in the brain leading to a suppression of withdrawal and cravings and a feeling of euphoria. Opiates have the potential for drug dependency and abrupt cessation may precipitate withdrawal. Sedatives: Increased doses of sedatives can cause dizziness, vertigo, drowsiness, slurred speech and muscle incoordination. Learning is impaired and there is a loss of memory for events occurring while under the influence. Unexpected effects of sedatives include: anxiety, nightmares, hostility and rage. Overdose of sedatives can lead to suppression of breathing, heart failure and death. Tolerance and dependence develop after a few weeks or more of use. Sudden withdrawal can produce seizures. Sedatives: Analgesic, Anti-Migraine: Midrin (acetaminophen/ dichloralphenazone/isometheptene capsule oral) Migragesic (acetaminophen/ dichloralphenazone/ isometheptene capsule oral)
Nodolor (acetaminophen/ dichloralphenazone/ isometheptene capsule oral)
Dichloralphenazone is converted to chloral hydrate which is a sedative. Dependence can occur leading to headaches which occur more frequently and more severe than before. Sedatives: Antianxiety: Equanil (meprobamate tablet oral)
Quaalude, Sopor (methaqualone)
Tolerance, psychological and physical dependence and withdrawal can occur with prolonged use. Central nervous system depression can occur with routine use. Equanil can also cause heart arrhythmias, decreased blood pressure, dizziness and weakness.

Most drugs in this class act on a benzodiazepine receptor that induces sleep. These medications can cause amnesia for activities that occur during the time it is effective. These activities can include: sleep driving, sleep eating, sleep shopping, sleep sex, sleep e-mailing and criminal activity. Daytime drowsiness, dizziness, hallucinations and agitation can occur. Belsomra can cause temporary paralysis during early sleep and early wake cycles. Sedatives: Other Central Nervous System Depressants: GHB (G, gamma-hydroxybutyrate, everclear, Xyre GHB can be added to drinks to cause sedation leading to rape or sexual assault. After ingestion, a person begins to feel weak, dizzy, lightheaded or confused. Abuse is common in teenagers and young adults. Overdose can occur leading to death. Tolerance and withdrawal occur with regular use. Skeletal Muscle Relaxants: Soma (carisoprodol tablet oral) Soma Compound (carisoprodol/aspirin tablet oral)
Soma Compound with Codeine (codeine/carisoprodol/aspirin tablet oral) Also opiate
Soma can impair physical and mental abilities and has been rarely associated with seizures. Tolerance, dependence and withdrawal are common. Withdrawal can include: insomnia, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, tremors, ataxia, hallucinations or psychosis.

Heart rate and blood pressure are increased at therapeutic doses of stimulants. High doses can cause adverse cardiac effects, stroke, hyperthermia, seizures and death. Repeated high doses over days to weeks can cause a state of hostility and paranoia, similar to paranoid schizophrenia. Bizarre, repetitive movements (picking at imaginary insects under the skin leading to wounds, repeated conversations and sexual activity) can become extreme. Long term effects depend on how the drug is administered and include: nasal ulcerations, bleeding in the lungs, stomach ulcers, atherosclerosis, damage to the heart muscle and difficulties with memory and decision making. Tolerance, dependence and withdrawal can occur.

Benzedrex has been used recreationally for its psychostimulant effects. Intranasal decongestants attach to receptors on the blood vessels in the nose. After the decongestant attaches to the receptors, the blood vessels constrict. This reduces inflammation and swelling. After a while, the cells realize the receptors are being overstimulated and remove some receptors to create balance. The decongestant then stops working. If an individual continues to use the decongestant, more is used to overcome this “tolerance”. When the individual stops using the decongestant, the few receptors left on the blood vessels of the nose are not enough and there is a huge rebound in the nasal congestion. For this reason, intranasal decongestants (oxymetazoline, phenylephrine) should be used for a maximum of 3 days.
