Legal Ways to Get High Pt. 2

We shared with you in a previous post some legal ways to get high. Well that didn’t cover all the legal ways to get high. There are more things in your house, grocery store, tobacco shop and hardware store than you thought that are legal ways to get high.

Nutmeg

You sprinkle a little of it in your eggnog, you pinch a bit on top of your apple pie or peach cobbler and you’ve probably have it in your spice cabinet. Out of all the legal ways to get high this is probably one of the most surprising.

 So how is nutmeg a legal way to get high?

 Well, nutmeg contains myristicin, a natural compound that has mind-altering effects if it is ingested in large doses. The buzz from nutmeg can last one to two days and can cause hallucinations similar to those produced by LSD. While you may be thinking about putting a larger amount of nutmeg into your apple pie now to achieve this legal high, think again. It takes a large amount of nutmeg to feel any effects and well it has some pretty nasty side effects.

This is the downside to most legal ways to get high-they have awful side effects. Hey, but don’t most illegal drugs? Yeah, pretty much. That may be why their legal because they aren’t meant to be used to get high and they aren’t pleasant. After 30 minutes of taking a large “dose” of nutmeg you can expect to experience severe gastrointestinal reactions including extreme nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. That’s just after 30 minutes. In a few hours you can also suffer from heart and nerve problems due to this legal way to get high.

Freon

If you know anything about inhalants you probably have heard of this legal way to get high and wondered what happened to the good old days of sniffing glue and sharpie markers? Well not so much anymore, you’re behind with the new generation. Kids these days are huffing Freon as one of our legal ways to get high. Scary, huh?

You can find this legal way to get high in your AC unit. Freon is used to cool the warm air pulled in by the AC unit. Kids now are draining the Freon gas from inside the unit and then inhaling it. The gas from Freon produces euphoria, light-headedness and can cause one to pass out. Unfortunately Freon also produces sever negative side effects. Huffing Freon as one of the legal ways to get high can lead to death, memory problems, liver damage, kidney damage, and lung damage.

This may be number two on our legal ways to get high pt. 2. But you might want to refrain from huffing your AC’s Freon gas and prevent severe consequences and/or death.

Catnip

Last but definitely not least on our list of legal ways to get high pt. 2 is catnip. I know what you’re thinking because I thought it to. You can get high legally off of Snowball’s treats? No, not exactly. That’s not the right kind of catnip. This catnip, also known as Nepeta, is a plant of the mint family. It has spotted white flowers. Its’ name comes from the fact that its pungent smell is attractive to, well, cats. Oh and did we mention it is also a legal way to get high. You can smoke catnip or make it into a tea. Catnip has been used throughout history to help with cramps and indigestion. Supposedly catnip is a good alternative to marijuana and is a legal way to get high. There are no real signs that there are super bad negative effects although the legal high is so mild most say it isn’t worth it.

Alrighty, there are your legal ways to get high pt. 2 remember just because its legal doesn’t mean it’s. The end.

Legal Ways to Get High

 

It’s become increasingly common, in recent years, for young people to search for legal ways to get high. Manufacturers of synthetic, “legal” drugs like spice and bath salts are raking in the cash by responding to that demand, and law enforcement officials are struggling to respond to the flood of legal drugs on the market.  The problem is that these so-called legal drugs can be highly dangerous, and young people around the country are being hospitalized for bad reactions to these “legal” highs.

Here are the some of the most popular legal ways to get high:

 1. Synthetic Marijuana– Legal pot is also known as Spice, K2, Genie Silver and Yucatan Fire. It is sold as “incense” and labeled “not for human consumption.” These herbal mixtures are infused with chemicals that activate the same receptors as marijuana. The side effects, however, are much more drastic. Smoking legal pot can produce a strong high as well as psychosis, rapid heartbeat, seizures, and even death. The American Association of Poison Control has observed over a 50% increase in calls related to legal pot this year compared to last.

2. Bath Salts – Bath salts are sold legally online and in drug paraphernalia stores under a variety of names, such as “Ivory Wave,” “Purple Wave,” “Red Dove,” “Blue Silk,” “Zoom,” “Bloom,” “Cloud Nine,” “Ocean Snow,” “Lunar Wave,” “Vanilla Sky,” “White Lightning,” “Scarface,” and “Hurricane Charlie.” Because formulations of bath salts change so often in an attempt to keep ahead of laws prohibiting their manufacture, very little is known about the chemical makeup of the drug. What we do know is that bath salts contain synthetic stimulant drugs of the amphetamine and cathinone classes, such as methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MPDV), mephedrone and pyrovalerone.   Many bath salt users compare their effects to methamphetamine. These drugs are typically administered orally, by insufflation, by inhalation, or by injection, with the worst outcomes apparently associated with snorting or intravenous administration.

Law enforcement officials are alarmed at the effects of these drugs, which have been known to cause paranoia and intense hallucinations. Emergency room personnel report that patients who have ingested bath salts are so highly agitated and violent that they sometimes require a whole medical team to restrain them. Sometimes even powerful sedatives are not sufficient in calming these people down. Bath started turning up regularly in the United States last year and have proliferated in recent months, alarming doctors, who say they have unusually dangerous and long-lasting effects.

3. Cough Medication: Cough formulations containing the drug dextromethorphane (DXM) are also used as a legal way to get high. DXM containing formulations are usually known on the street as “triple C’s” (as the medication is used to treat cold, cough, and congestion) and use of DXM is sometimes called “robo-tripping” (as the DXM containing medication Robotussin is commonly used). At high levels, DXM acts as a dissociative hallucinogenic. Some users say the effect is similar to those produced by ketamine and PCP. It can produce visual hallucinations, dissociations, excitement, and a loss of sense of time. DXM can also cause nausea, vomiting, and difficulty breathing.

Hand Sanitizer Alcohol Abuse

Hand Sanitizer Alcohol Abuse

By Jenny Hunt

California authorities have noticed a shocking new trend in teenagers looking to get a quick high: Hand Sanitizer Alcohol Abuse. In the last week, at least six teens have checked in to LA area hospitals after allegedly imbibing hand sanitizer to get drunk. Hand sanitizer alcohol abuse has become the newest way for teens to get wasted.

Hand sanitizer alcohol abuse has gained popularity because it’s easily obtained by underage drinkers, is relatively cheap, and has very high alcohol content. The high alcohol content is part of the danger of hand sanitizer alcohol abuse. Hand sanitizers have alcohol concentrations of up to 70 percent—that’s 140 proof, whereas most liquors-whiskey, vodka, and gin, have a concentration of 45 percent alcohol (80 proof.) Often, teens engaging in hand sanitizer alcohol abuse down shots of the gooey liquid without realizing how much stronger it is. By the time the alcohol is metabolized, they have drunk far more than they realized. The accessability of the Internet has propelled hand sanitizer alcohol abuse as teens are finding recipes online to help make hand sanitizer more palatable. Some teens are mixing the gel with salt to break it down to a liquid.

 

Hand sanitizer alcohol abuse is just the latest development in bizarre teen drug use which includes vodka tampons and semi-legal synthetic drugs such as synthetic cannabis (“spice” or “K2) and bath salts. Both the risky behavior of teens and the danger of such drug use could be traced back to adolescent brain development. A recent study determined that brain development is not fully complete until age 25. Before the brain fully develops, it lacks the connections that allow reasoned decision making. This is why teens have poor impulse control and are somewhat lacking in common sense.

The fact that a teen’s brain and body has not fully developed makes hand sanitizer alcohol abuse and other forms of underage drinking more dangerous. Underage drinking can affect the brain’s development. Subtle changes in the brain may be difficult to detect but still have a significant impact on long-term thinking and memory skills. Underage drinking can also cause liver damage, especially if the teen is overweight or obese. In addition, drinking alcohol prior to or during puberty may upset the critical hormonal balance necessary for normal development of organs, muscles, and bones.

Some parents and school officials have made an effort to limit the availability of alcohol based hand sanitizer in homes and schools. However, hand sanitizer alcohol abuse isn’t that different from other types of teen substance abuse and the best way to combat it is with an open discussion. Unfortunately, more than a quarter of parents with teenage children have never had a discussion with them about alcohol or drug use. Parents are urged to be clear, firm and consistent when discouraging their teen from underage drinking and engaging in these risky new “legal” ways to get high. drug. Parents should also assure their teen that they will not be alone in turning down drugs and alcohol. In fact, teen alcohol abuse is on the decline nationally. Talking with your children early and often about hand sanitizer alcohol abuse can make a difference. It’s best to instill an open door policy about drugs and alcohol with your children.
