Don’t be left out of the loop. Stay one step ahead of your kids by knowing about what drugs are available, both legal and illegal. All adults need to educate themselves on:
Salvia – a Mexican herb sold online and at head shops. Touted as the “new LSD,” Salvia is known as “Sally D” or “Magic Mint.” It has a short-lasting hallucinogen effect.
Snurf – known as “herbal ecstasy,” these pink pills actually contain high doses of DXM (the main ingredient in cough syrup). Very dangerous side effects.
Nutmeg – high doses of the spice can cause effects similar to the drug Ecstasy. Some teens don’t feel a thing, others report “tripping out.”
Mothballs – some teens are sniffing mothballs to get high. The main chemical paradichlorobenzene (PDB) can cause neurological problems.
