Drug abuse is a very common
problem in most countries so it
seemed like a good topic for a list.
This is a list of ten of the most
abused drugs and the effects they
have on people.

10. HEROIN

Heroin is an opiate processed
directly from the extracts of the
opium poppy. It was originally
created to help cure people of
addiction to morphine. Upon
crossing the blood-brain barrier,
which occurs soon after
introduction of the drug into the
bloodstream, heroin is converted
into morphine, which mimics the
action of endorphins, creating a
sense of well-being; the
characteristic euphoria has been
described as an “orgasm” centered
in the gut. One of the most common
methods of heroin use is via
intravenous injection.

For the last 4 months, my partner
and I have been recreationally using
heroin. H became our weekend
ritual. Lighting candles, playing
music, brie and wine and grapes,
reading tarot and finally fucking…
for hours on end, the most intense
beautiful technicolor sex. Each time
we did it we got closer to each
other. And each time we did it, we
wanted to do it again, and again.
We tried saying we’d only do it once
every two weeks, but that lasted 6
days. We have rules about how
much we do in one night, how late
we stay up and so on. So far the
rules have kept us safe from
addiction. Unless you consider the
nagging i-don’t-wanna-go-a-
weekend-or-have-sex-without-it
feelings. We’ve never run out,
although, once we were down to our
last little bit and I left the vial open
on the night stand. I was reaching
for the lube when I heard the most
sickening sound, the vial falling
over. Turns out, I was mistaken, I
had remembered to put the cap
back on. But in those few seconds
of uncertainty, my girl and I shot
each other a look we had never
seen before.. Fear.

9. COCAINE
Cocaine is a crystalline tropane
alkaloid that is obtained from the
leaves of the coca plant. It is both a
stimulant of the central nervous
system and an appetite
suppressant, giving rise to what has
been described as a euphoric sense
of happiness and increased energy.
It is most often used recreationally
for this effect. Cocaine is a potent
central nervous system stimulant.
Its effects can last from 20 minutes
to several hours, depending upon
the dosage of cocaine taken, purity,
and method of administration. The
initial signs of stimulation are
hyperactivity, restlessness,
increased blood pressure, increased
heart rate and euphoria. The
euphoria is sometimes followed by
feelings of discomfort and
depression and a craving to
experience the drug again. Sexual
interest and pleasure can be
amplified. Side effects can include
twitching, paranoia, and impotence,
which usually increases with
frequent usage.

The cocaine arrived and we agreed
to use it at a time that translated to
three and a half hours after I
arrived. It cost $60 for what I was
told was an eighth of a gram. This
seemed rather expensive, but I was
assured that it was ‘high quality
product.’ I took the line up my left
nostril. After about ninety seconds, I
felt my heartbeat increase. It was
definitely kicking in. I began to
worry a bit, as I could feel my heart
pounding and my pulse increasing. I
finally felt as if it had reached a
plateau. My heartbeat became level,
albeit still very high. Many people
say that one feels euphoria – being
invincible and/or the desire to clean
the house. I did not feel either of
these (and I did remember to think
about these things). For me, the
positive effects of cocaine came
directly from knowing that I had
reached a plateau and I was going
to be fine. I felt invigorated, yet also
very comfortable.

One of the best treatment for drug
addiction is to consult with cocaine
rehab centers for recovery.

8. METHAMPHETAMINE
Methamphetamime, popularly
shortened to meth or ice, is a
psychostimulant and
sympathomimetic drug.
Methamphetamine enters the brain
and triggers a cascading release of
norepinephrine, dopamine and
serotonin. Since it stimulates the
mesolimbic reward pathway,
causing euphoria and excitement, it
is prone to abuse and addiction.
Users may become obsessed or
perform repetitive tasks such as
cleaning, hand-washing, or
assembling and disassembling
objects. Withdrawal is characterized
by excessive sleeping, eating and
depression-like symptoms, often
accompanied by anxiety and drug-
craving.

We first smoked meth on New
Year’s Eve because we heard it was
great for sex. I had to work the next
day and so saved some to smoke
before work in the morning. When I
got home another g was waiting for
me and I smoked every day but one
until I finally quit three months
later. For three weeks we smoked
meth with little consequence, then
my skin became fragile and in
addition to breaking out, started to
swell. I was really worried because I
was constantly thirsty and drinking
water, but I rarely urinated. Then
my kidneys started hurting. I had
lost twenty pounds in two months
and my husband had lost thirty, and
we’d read somewhere that rapid
weight loss can cause kidney
failure. I slept every three or four
days for an hour or so and woke
feeling rested. I was an hour late for
work everyday. My husband
wrecked the truck three times. One
day I forgot to feed my son.

Everything was either the highest of
highs or the lowest of lows, no in
between existed anymore. We were
banned from the sauna at our
apartment complex because no one
else could use it. Our sweat smelled
so strongly of ammonia it burned
the eyes, it was caustic, and it
burned our skin too. My husband
and I haven’t done any drugs at all
for four weeks, and things are
slowly going back to normal. But I
still want it. I can’t sleep tonight
because I want it. I wrote this in all
honesty mostly to help myself, to
remind myself why I don’t want it.
And still I want it.

7. CRACK COCAINE
Crack cocaine, often nicknamed
“crack”, is believed to have been
created and made popular during
the early 1980s . Because of the
dangers for manufacturers of using
ether to produce pure freebase
cocaine, producers began to omit
the step of removing the freebase
precipitate from the ammonia
mixture. Typically, filtration
processes are also omitted. Baking
soda is now most often used as a
base rather than ammonia for
reasons of lowered odor and
toxicity; however, any weak base
can be used to make crack cocaine.
When commonly “cooked” the ratio
is 1:1 to 2:3 parts cocaine/
bicarbonate.

As I held the smoke in for a ten
count and exhaled, I thought I felt
nothing except a little excitement
that was neither bad nor
pleasurable. The complete rush
some writers have called a ‘whole-
body orgasm’ hit me shortly after
and I distinctly remember
demanding ‘more’ as soon as the
realization of heaven-on-earth
came. Some people say that the
effects of smoking crack lasts
10-15 minutes. For me, it was just
a shortest instant of gratification.
Everything afterwards was just a
great increase in energy and
confidence geared towards
obtaining more of the drug.

6. LSD
Lysergic acid diethylamide, LSD,
LSD-25, or acid, is a semisynthetic
psychedelic drug of the tryptamine
family. Arguably the most regarded
of all psychedelics, it is considered
mainly as a recreational drug, an
entheogen, and a tool in use to
supplement various types of
exercises for transcendence
including in meditation,
psychonautics, and illegal
psychedelic psychotherapy whether
self administered or not. LSD’s
psychological effects (colloquially
called a “trip”) vary greatly from
person to person, depending on
factors such as previous
experiences, state of mind and
environment, as well as dose
strength. They also vary from one
trip to another, and even as time
passes during a single trip. An LSD
trip can have long term
psychoemotional effects; some
users cite the LSD experience as
causing significant changes in their
personality and life perspective.
Widely different effects emerge
based on what Leary called set and
setting; the “set” being the general
mindset of the user, and the
“setting” being the physical and
social environment in which the
drug’s effects are experienced.

About ten years ago I bought my
third trip from a guy in my home
town Norwich (UK) It was a
‘Strawberry’ and I was told it had
been double dipped. The guy had a
reputation for selling good acid so I
happily gave him my cash. I took
the single LSD tab in the late
morning in a positive state of mind
with no worries or anxieties. I began
to come up on the acid towards the
lunch time. It was to be the first and
last time I’d ever trip alone. Outside
it was a glorious sunny day but I
was happy enough in my temporary
sanctuary to even think about going
outside. The LSD rush started
blazing up my spine and racing
through my guts, I felt a little
uneasy with it but had enough mind
to allow myself to just go with it
and wait until the rush plateaued. I
was having a wonderful time,
watching floral Escher type patterns
breathing over my skin. I vaguely
recall deciding to go downstairs
again for some reason then the next
thing I recall was awakening on the
floor of the dining room alone. The
first thing I noticed was that there
were blowflies buzzing around a
bowl of catfood on the kitchen floor.
I remember feeling perplexed as to
why both flies had two bright neon
after images in red and blue.
Somehow I navigated myself
through Norwich during the busy
lunchtime shoppers and begun to
head in the direction of the city’s
central park ‘Chapelfield gardens’. If
you could imagine for a moment
being surrounded by people in a
busy place where their heads had
been removed and replaced by
Squids and Octopus you might
begin to accurately picture the
scene confronting me in the park.
Everyone had tentacles smothering
their faces and dangling down their
necks like fleshy snake beards, even
the women and children were not
exempt from this disfiguration. In
retrospect, it was the worst day of
my entire life, It was the closest I
can imagine to having full blown
psychosis.

5. ECSTASY
Ecstasy (MDMA) is a semisynthetic
psychedelic entactogen of the
phenethylamine family that is much
less visual with more stimulant like
effects than most all other common
“trip” producing psychedelics. It is
considered mainly a recreational
drug that’s often used with sex and
associated with club drugs, as an
entheogen, and a tool in use to
supplement various types of
practices for transcendence
including in meditation,
psychonautics, and illicit
psychedelic psychotherapy whether
self administered or not. The
primary effects of MDMA include an
increased awareness of the senses,
feelings of openness, euphoria,
empathy, love,happiness,
heightened self-awareness, feeling
of mental clarity and an increased
appreciation of music and
movement. Tactile sensations are
enhanced for some users, making
physical contact with others more
pleasurable. Other side effects, such
as jaw clenching and elevated
pulse, are common.

Sitting comfortably in our cosy
living room, Café del Mar and
similar CDs playing in the
background, we began at 8 pm. I
swallowed one white tablet with
water. Over the next hour nothing
much happened except that I found
myself talking quite openly and
confidently with the others, moving
very easily into interesting
conversations. This was a little
unusual for me as I am normally
quite shy and overly self-conscious
in social situations and it takes me
a while to loosen up. The next thing
I experienced was a striking shift in
my visual perception. I don’t mean
a hallucination or a distortion, but a
wonderful step up in the aesthetic
quality. For a moment it was like
being in one of those nostalgic TV
ads where the world looks all gold
and sepia. ‘Everything’s gone
amber!’ I blurted. But then I found
that my vision was becoming
beautifully enhanced. It made my
normal visual experience seem like
cheap, fuzzy CCTV footage in
comparison. Now I was seeing the
world anew in sharp, lush, top-
quality Technicolor! I also began to
move in time to the music. The
music! Oh, the music! Wow! It
sounded so good, so organic! The
uplifted state stayed with me and
took a long time to fade — at least a
couple of weeks. It had unleashed in
me a rush of joy that was still
accessible when I focused on it
weeks later.

4. OPIUM
Opium is a resinous narcotic formed
from the latex released by lacerating
(or “scoring”) the immature seed
pods of opium poppies (Papaver
somniferum). It contains up to 16%
morphine, an opiate alkaloid, which
is most frequently processed
chemically to produce heroin for the
illegal drug trade. Opium has
gradually been superseded by a
variety of purified, semi-synthetic,
and synthetic opioids with
progressively stronger effect, and by
other general anesthesia. This
process began in 1817, when
Friedrich Wilhelm Adam Sertürner
reported the isolation of pure
morphine from opium after at least
thirteen years of research and a
nearly disastrous trial on himself
and three boys.

I remember that what I smoked was
much easier to smoke than
marijuana. There was no burning in
my throat nor in my lungs. I took a
very large, smooth hit. Smoking it
like marijuana, I held it in for about
10 or 15 seconds and let it out. It
didn’t taste like marijuana, I
remember the taste being rather
faint. It actually tasted and smelled
like incense. I was very surprised to
suddenly find myself on the floor, in
the dark, with a crowd of people
surrounding me. Apparently I had
fainted and fallen to the ground, but
I hadn’t noticed. The high itself is
rather hard to describe. It was much
more intense than marijuana. It felt
heavy, like my whole body was
being impacted… but it also felt very
clear and refined at the same time.
As I made my way towards the
bathroom the drug began to kick in
again. My steps kind of faded away
and it felt like I was just floating
over to the bathroom. The scary
thing was though, that I was having
trouble seeing. My vision was
fading. Distinct figures melted into
shadows and everything had a
sparkle to it. All of a sudden,
everything felt really good . I
couldn’t stop smiling. Everything
was profound in a very positive way,
especially the music since it
resonated everywhere. It was a very
abstruse experience. I imagine that I
was coming down at this point, an
hour had surely past by because the
band was building a climax to end
their first set. I went along with the
crowd and made my way outside.
The fresh air was wonderful. The
cool air seemed to wrap around my
body. A slight breeze on the back of
my neck sent chills that rapidly
multiplied throughout my body.

3. MARIJUANA
Cannabis, known as marijuana in
its herbal form, is a psychoactive
product of the plant Cannabis
sativa. Humans have been
consuming cannabis since
prehistory, although in the 20th
century there was a rise in its use
for recreational, religious or
spiritual, and medicinal purposes. It
is estimated that about four percent
of the world’s adult population use
cannabis annually. It has
psychoactive and physiological
effects when consumed, usually by
smoking or ingestion. The
minimum amount of THC required
to have a perceptible psychoactive
effect is about 10 micrograms per
kilogram of body weight. The state
of intoxication due to cannabis
consumption is colloquially known
as a “high”; it is the state where
mental and physical facilities are
noticeably altered due to the
consumption of cannabis. Each user
experiences a different high, and the
nature of it may vary upon factors
such as potency, dose, chemical
composition, method of
consumption and set and setting.

After taking that first hit, and not
feeling the effects within a minute
(holding it in for a minute, and then
waiting a little bit after exhaling) I
decided, well I better hit this again,
harder if I can. I took just as large of
a hit, and again held it in for longer
than a minute. I let my brother know
I was really starting to feel
something now and I don’t think I
liked it all. It snuck up on me really
bad, and I still had no idea what to
expect. I wanted him to be quiet.
Laying down was not helping, so I
got back up. I went back to the
garage and tried to explain to
everyone ‘I am totally bleeped up.
This is scary!’ I was rationalizing
everything tremendously, but it was
SO intense! And it was only getting
more intense faster! I didn’t know
what to expect, I was sinking within
myself, accelerating downward like
into the depths of my own oblivion.
I was a novice, I had no idea what
to expect, and the world had
become out of synch, the talking of
my brothers, his friend, all
ridiculous and extremely annoying. I
became amazingly irritable and
wanted them to leave me alone or
not talk in my presence. They did
not understand or appreciate my
fear, and they began to get loud
again. I ran upstairs to my parents
bed and laid down with some
wistful hope that I could wait out
this storm.

2. PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS
Psilocybin mushrooms (also called
psilocybian mushrooms) are fungi
that contain the psychedelic
substances psilocybin and psilocin,
and occasionally other
psychoactive tryptamines. There are
multiple colloquial terms for
psilocybin mushrooms, the most
common being magic mushrooms
or ‘shrooms. When psilocybin is
ingested, it is broken down to
produce psilocin, which is
responsible for the hallucinogenic
effects. The intoxicating effects of
psilocybin-containing mushrooms
typically last anywhere from 3 to 7
hours depending on dosage,
preparation method and personal
metabolism. The experience is
typically inwardly oriented, with
strong visual and auditory
components. Visions and
revelations may be experienced, and
the effect can range from
exhilarating to distressing. There
can be also a total absence of
effects, even with large doses.

I had acquired about 8 grams of
dried mushrooms and some liquid
psilocybin equivalent to another 5
grams of powdered mushrooms. I
swallowed the liquid first, on an
empty stomach of course. I could
feel a slight sensation after about
10-15 minutes. Then I added the
powder to some water in a mug and
swallowed that also. I then sat by
the camp fire, listening to the wind
in the trees while I contemplated
what was about to happen. After
about 45-50 minutes I heard a
‘voice’ calling to me. It wasn’t
audible in the normal sense – it
came from inside my own mind!
Then I was gone – out of this world.
I escaped into what I perceived to
be the outer boundaries of my mind
or my imagination. This placed
presented itself as a natural forest
with low light. Here I met the owner
of the aforementioned voice – the
Mushroom Goddess. She took the
form of a white, strapless, ankle-
length dress, standing side-on from
me. For about the next two hours I
dialoged with her, becoming totally
bewitched by her charm, her wit, her
intelligence, her knowledge, her
unconditional affection for me and
her seemingly infinite perspective. I
have come to think of her as my
other-worldly girlfriend.

1. PCP
PCP (Phencyclidine) is a
dissociative drug formerly used as
an anesthetic agent, exhibiting
hallucinogenic and neurotoxic
effects. It is commonly known as
Angel Dust, but is also known as
Wet, Sherm, Sherman Hemsley,
Rocket Fuel, Ashy Larry, Shermans
Tank, Wack, Halk Hogan, Ozone,
HannaH, Hog, Manitoba Shlimbo,
and Embalming Fluid, among other
names. Although the primary
psychoactive effects of the drug only
last hours, total elimination from
the body is prolonged, typically
extending over weeks. PCP is
consumed in a recreational manner
by drug users, mainly in the United
States, where the demand is met by
illegal production. It comes in both
powder and liquid forms (PCP base
dissolved most often in ether), but
typically it is sprayed onto leafy
material such as marijuana, mint,
oregano, parsley or Ginger Leaves,
and smoked. PCP has potent effects
on the nervous system altering
perceptual functions
(hallucinations, delusional ideas,
delirium or confused thinking),
motor functions (unsteady gait, loss
of coordination, and disrupted eye
movement or nystagmus), and
autonomic nervous system
regulation (rapid heart rate, altered
temperature regulation). The drug
has been known to alter mood
states in an unpredictable fashion
causing some individuals to
become detached and others to
become animated.

When I was taking the drug, I used
very small amounts. The effect was
incredibly pleasant and social, so
much so that me and my friends all
used it instead of booze for almost
a year. I couldn’t dance for shit on
the stuff (I’d get stumbly and
actually fell on my ass on the
dancefloor once) but the physical
sensations and mental pictures
were really fun. It is quite different
from any psychedelic visuals or
even Ketamine visuals…more like
rolling through old film footage. To
be honest, I liked it more than my
experiences on Ketamine. PCP can
make one nearly impervious to pain
at high doses. Because of this, PCP
can make things seem like a good
idea that otherwise wouldn’t
(leading to the stories of people
leaping out of windows, etc.) I
experienced very confusing physical
reality when really high on it, like
being unable to discern the
difference between walking up stairs
and down them, or standing still
and walking. This could lead to very
unusual behaviour.

#teamStonER

Amphetamines are highly addictive and can cause significant problems — physical, emotional, mental, and social — when abused. When taken in recreational doses, many of the effects become reversed. For example, muscles may break down rather than increase in strength. https://addictionresource.com/drugs/amphetamine/ - very good article about the effects of this drug. Be careful and don't use it!

Interesting topic! Thanks for sharing

Yes, it is not so easy to find it, but it can still be found, and even more so legally! Everything you might need for your research can be find here, a huge selection and also everything in good quantities and at great prices. I recommend it to everyone
