COCAINE - Cocaine: Big C, Blow, Coke, Flake, Lady, Nose candy, Snow, Snowbirds, White Crack, Freebase, Rock

What is it? 
Cocaine is a drug extracted from the leaves of the coca plant. It is a potent brain stimulant and one of the most powerfully addictive drugs.

What does it look like?
Cocaine is distributed on the street in two main forms: cocaine hydrochloride is a white crystalline powder and “crack” is cocaine hydrochloride that has been processed with ammonia or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and water into a freebase cocaine – chips, chunks, or rocks. How is it used?

Cocaine can be snorted or dissolved in water and injected. Crack can be smoked. What are its short-term effects?
Short-term effects of cocaine include constricted peripheral blood vessels, dilated pupils, increased temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, insomnia, loss of appetite, feelings of restlessness, irritability, and anxiety. Duration of cocaine’s immediate euphoric effects, which include energy, reduced fatigue, and mental clarity, depends on how it is used. The faster the absorption, the more intense the high. However, the faster the absorption, the shorter the high lasts. The high from snorting may last 15 to 30 minutes, while that from smoking may last 5 to 10 minutes. Cocaine’s effects are short lived, and once the drug leaves the brain, the user experiences a “coke crash” that includes depression, irritability, and fatigue. What are its long-term effects?

High doses of cocaine and/or prolonged use can trigger paranoia. Smoking crack cocaine can produce a particularly aggressive paranoid behavior in users. When addicted individuals stop using cocaine, they often become depressed. Prolonged cocaine snorting can result in ulceration of the mucous membrane of the nose.

DMT - The Substance: Dimitri, Business Man’s Special

What is it?
DMT is a powerful, visual psychedelic which produces short-acting effects when smoked. It is used orally in combination with an MAOI, as in ayahuasca brews. It is naturally produced in the human brain and by many plants.

What does it look like?
DMT crystal-like powdered substance that sometimes comes in large rock-like chunks.

How is it used?
DMT is smoked, injected, snorted, or swallowed (when taken with an MAOI such as haramaline)

What are its effects?

• immersive experiences
• intense open eye visuals and kaleidescopic patterning
• powerful “rushing” of sensation
• radical perspective shifting
• change in perception of time
• auditory hallucination (buzzing)
• colorshifting (for example red green and gold coloring to the whole world)

• difficulty integrating experiences
• overwhelming fear

DEXTROMETHORPAN - DXM is a widely available over-the-counter cough suppressant. When taken far above its standard medical dosage, it is a strong dissociative used primarily by teens.

Can also be a central nervous system depressant. Dextromethorphan is a synthetic drug chemically similar to morphine, was approved by the FDA as a cough suppressant in 1954. Drug manufacturers developed and began putting it in cough syrups in the 1970s as a suppressant that would be less addictive and have fewer side effects that the narcotic, codeine.

When used at the recommended doses, it is a very effective cough suppressant. When taken at much higher doses, however, it acts as a disassociative anesthetic, similar to PCP and ketamine. At these high doses, DXM is also a central nervous system depressant. DXM is often used in combination with other drugs such as marijuana, ecstasy, or alcohol, which only increase the dangerous physiological effects.

Poison control experts point to a four-fold increase in abuse cases since 2000, mostly involving school-aged youth and young adults, particularly among those who are part of the dance club or “rave” scene. Intoxication comes from swallowing large doses of the cough syrup, known as “robo-dosing” or “robo-tripping” or taking hands full of cough suppressant pills, sometimes called “skittles” (because of an appearance similar to the popular fruit candy). Those who use the cough syrup to get high are sometimes called “syrup heads.”

The drug creates a depressant effect, as well as a mild hallucinogenic effect, and is often used as an alternative to ecstasy. According to addiction experts, cough syrup’s inexpensive price and easy availability is attracting adolescents.

ECSTASY - Street terms for MDMA/Ecstasy: XTC, go, X, Adam, hug drug, E

What does Ecstasy look like?
Ecstasy is distributed in tablet form. Individual tablets are often imprinted with graphic designs or commercial logos, and typically contain 100 mg of MDMA.

How is Ecstasy used?
Ecstasy is usually ingested in tablet form, but can also be crushed and snorted, injected, or used in suppository form.

Who uses Ecstasy?
In 2000, more than 6.4 million people age 12 and older reported that they have used Ecstasy at least once in their lives. Ecstasy is popular among middle-class adolescents and young adults. Ecstasy is sold primarily at legitimate nightclubs and bars, at underground nightclubs sometimes called “acid houses,” or at all-night parties known as “raves.”

How does Ecstasy get to the United States?
The vast majority of Ecstasy consumed domestically is produced in Europe. A limited number of Ecstasy laboratories operate in the United States. Law enforcement seized 17 clandestine Ecstasy laboratories in the United States in 2001 compared to 7 seized in 2000.

How much does Ecstasy cost?
It costs as little as 25 to 50 cents to manufacture an Ecstasy tablet in Europe, but the street value of that same Ecstasy tablet can be as high as $40, with a tablet typically selling for between $20 and $30.

What are some of the consequences of using Ecstasy?
In addition to chemical stimulation, the drug reportedly suppresses the need to eat, drink, or sleep.

• When taken at raves, where all-night dancing usually occurs, the drug often leads to severe dehydration and heat stroke in the user since it has the effect of “short-circuiting” the body’s temperature signals to the brain.
• An Ecstasy overdose is characterized by a rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, faintness, muscle cramping, panic attacks, and, in more severe cases, loss of consciousness or seizures. One of the side effects of the drug is jaw muscle tension and teeth grinding. As a consequence, Ecstasy users will often suck on pacifiers to help relieve the tension.
• Ecstasy may cause hyperthermia, muscle breakdown, seizures, stroke, kidney and cardiovascular system failure, possible permanent damage to sections of brain critical to thought and memory, and death.

• In lower doses, GHB causes drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, and visual disturbances.

• Overdoses usually require emergency room treatment, including intensive care for respiratory depression and coma.

Nationwide, in 2000, South American heroin ranged from $50,000 to $200,000 per kilogram. Southeast and Southwest Asian heroin ranged in price from $40,000 to $190,000 per kilogram. Wholesale-level prices for Mexican heroin were the lowest of any type, ranging from $13,200 to $175,000 per kilogram. The wide range in kilogram prices reflects variables such as buyer/seller relationships, quantities purchased, purchase frequencies, purity, and transportation costs.

What are some consequences of heroin use?

• One of the most significant effects of heroin use is addiction. Once tolerance happens, higher does become necessary to achieve the desired effect, and physical dependence develops.
• Chronic use may cause collapsed veins, infection of heart lining and valves, abscesses, liver disease, pulmonary complications, and various types of pneumonia.
