(English) Synthetic drugs might cause schizophrenia. 16 Аprilie 2014

Today we have decided to share with you an interesting article about how dangerous are the synthetic, or in other words, designer drugs. For reference, the synthetic drugs are a group of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, which can be produced in large drug labs or at home. As components for the production of synthetic drugs are used substances which contain ephedrine, codeine, ethanolamine, etc.

How dangerous and what is the influence of synthetic drugs on the psyche and human health says the expert in narcologyof Lipetsk region Mikhail Korostin- People who invented synthetic drugs should end up in hell – says Mikhail Korostin. – Their production cost little money, but the profit is huge. I am sure that methods of production are becoming more effective every day.

Not without reason, even those who take traditional drugs (heroin, opium) are afraid of “synthetics”. They know that if they take heroin with appropriate security measures they can live many years. If someone is taking designer drugs, even if he is lucky enough to not get infected with HIV or hepatitis by sharing a needle, his body will be destroyed in a year.

Calm down or get excited?

Specialists say that synthetic drugs cause a strong addiction just after the first dose. They lead to irreversible changes in the brain – explains Mikhail Korostin. The memory of a drug stays forever, so people will not be able to give them up.

Synthetic drugs affect at once two sides of the nervous system – they stimulate excitement and provide sedation. Therefore, the body simply does not understand which kind of extreme it should follow after such a drug. It happens that young people die after taking their first dose. In Lipetsk young guy recently wanted to show off in front of his friends that he can smoke a spice and nothing will happen. Five minutes later he fell down and died. His respiratory and cardiovascular center simply „did not understand” the incoming commands.

But the worst thing is that taking a synthetic drug really “blows your mind away”. Every expert innarcology can tell several similar stories when people under the influence of drugs torched their own homes, „went out” of the window or threw babies out of window.

At the same time, when someone will recover his consciousness after taking a drug, it happens that he can’t remember what he was doing. Another „advantage” of synthetic drugs is amnesia. A dose, for example an epileptic drug, causes a short-circuit in your brain and the memory is „cut off” completely. Psychiatrists are familiar with this issue, it is called pathological intoxication. People seem to act adequate. But at the same time persecutory delusion, fear and hallucinations can occur. They can go to another city, start shooting to imaginary enemies.
