The lungs is one of the easiest places in the body for any drug to reach , your small intestine filters the drug along with nutrients into your blood and the blood makes its way to the lungs where oxygen is deposited into it , so in essence the vessel rich lungs will come into contact with most drugs early

This is a rough commonsense guess since I have no medical experience whatsoever: the drugs when taken artificially raise one’s core temperature which kills the foreign bodies involved. With the disclaimer some Nairalanders will still come, ranting and raving that I have no idea what I’m typing about. I have no idea but a theory, hence my two cents.
