<p>I know that Nyquil has had a pretty high alcohol content-isn’t that how it knocks you out when you have a cold? I can’t imagine anyone taking when they aren’t sick though :::::gag::::
Plus I think it used to be a lot easier to get cough syrup with codeine
and remember emprin? that seemed to have something in it that kids took for fun- might have just been caffiene that was before triple grandes after all ;)</p>
<p>Nyquil really does taste disgusting.</p>
<p>Ha Nyqiul wont really get you high, but you’ll sleep for a long time. I’ve done it b4.
it was an accident though.
I had exams the next day and I couldnt sleep,
so i drank like half a full bottle.
i was pretty tired the next day.
I passed the exams though. =/</p>
<p>Kids around here are using the inhalant in canned whipped cream. The parents just think the kids have developed a sweet tooth. </p>
<p>Seriously…if you see pictures on facebook of kids enjoying whipped cream, please investigate.</p>
<p>Yeah I’ve seen some stupid ways to get high in my time in EMS. Similar to what 3bm103 was saying, I had several patients who would buy (or more often steal) those compressed air cans that you use to clean your computer or whatnot and inhale the “air” (no actual O2) until they deprived their brains of enough oxygen to get high and pass out. Then when they came to, they would just do it all over again. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Some of them couldn’t even wait til they got home, and would sit in their cars in the parking lot of the store they just shoplifted from and get high. Boy did I have fun breaking their windows to get them out, though :)</p>
<p>“These items contain a drug called DMS or Dextromethorphane, which taken in large amounts can cause a person to hallucinate.” - I thought it was called DXM and has been around > 10 years.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>My peers were doing this back in the 70’s. It was known as a whippet.</p>
<p>Okay I have a long list of drugs that kids today still use. I know because i have seen a lot of people on each of them.</p>
<p>Acid (LSD, Panes, Gel-tabs, Liquid) <believe it=“” or=“” not=“” but=“” a=“” lot=“” of=“” this=“” is=“” still=“” around=“”></believe></p>
<p>Acrylics (paint, etc.)</p>
<p>Payode (buttons, desert flowers)</p>
<p>Amphetamines (All sorts of these, meth, aderol, ritalin, etc.)</p>
<p>Pain Killers (Demerol, Hydrocodine, Perkiset, Lora tab, Lora sets, etc) Most of these things kids get from their parents cabinets)</p>
<p>Marijuana (Pot, Bud, Weed, Green, Grass, Gonja, Herb, Dubs, Dimes, there are a lot of names kids call it now)</p>
<p>Mushrooms (Booms, Licks, Caps, Rooms, Stems)</p>
<p>Cough Syrup (Triple C’s, Coricidon, Any other syrups with DXM or DEX in the ingredients)</p>
<p>Spice Gold (Almost exactly like marijuana only it can’t be tested for)</p>
<p>Cocaine/Crack (Coke, Powder, “White Lady”, White Girl, Rocks)</p>
<p>Okay this is a really new one, and really really sick. It seems you can put fieces in a plastic jar and leave it in the sun for 3-5 days, then sniff the gas fumes that are put out from it. I’ve never known anyone to do it, but it is out there.</p>
<p>This is a few items of foods that kids use to get high now. Smoking 2-3 day old banana peels or orange peels, a teaspoon of common household nutmeg (nutmeg is very dangerous, only 3 teaspoons to be poisoned,) and something to do with potatoes i’m not sure, but it might be something with spuds.</p>
<p>Inhalents such as an asthma inhaler, whip-cream cans, duster, etc.</p>
<p>Nicotine (believe it or not but kids are getting nicotine gum or patches and using enough to get high)</p>
<p>Opiates such as opium, heroin, methadone, oxycodone, etc.</p>
<p>Ecstasy (Love pills, Hearts, Tabs, “good pills”, Little circles)</p>
<p>It seems some kids are taking viagra or extense to get high, I don’t know why they would take this considering what the main effect of the drug is…</p>
<p>Ketamine (A really stong hallucinagen)</p>
<p>This one is legal in some states…Salvia, kids smoke a bowl of this to “trip” really hard for 5-15 minutes.</p>
<p>DMT (this one is somewhat new, also a hallucinogen, i think it’s dimethyltryptamine or something like that)</p>
<p>Hmmmm, that’s all i can think of right now, but believe me there are many more, and people are always finding new ways. The best way to keep these away from your kids is to keep your kids informed, and make sure they know all effects of what each do to the body in long term damage.</p>

<p>FBI was once checking out anyone who bought large amounts of fertilizer because it was being used to build bombs (a la Timothy McVeigh). Fox Mulder was relegated to checking out these people when he was in the doghouse for his X files activities.</p>
<p>To inhalants, add helium-filled balloons. Common at parties and dances, perfectly innocuous … and used not only for the funny “chipmunk voice” factor, but also for the light-headed feeling that oxygen deprivation causes. One or two balloons and some funny phrases, no big deal. Six or ten balloons, pay attention!</p>
