Today we're talking about a drug that's been making waves in the party scene but poses serious health risks: Pink Cocaine. It's not just another party drug; it's a dangerous substance with life-threatening consequences.
🌟 What Is Pink Cocaine?
Also known as phenylethylamine 2C-B, Pink Cocaine was created in the 1970s and initially sold in the 1980s under various brand names for sexual enhancement.
It was reclassified in 1995 by the DEA as a Schedule I controlled substance, meaning it has high abuse potential and no medical use.
🌟 Pink Cocaine Vs. Cocaine
Although similar in name, these are different substances.
Cocaine is plant-based, affecting mainly dopamine receptors.
Pink Cocaine is synthetic, interacting with both dopamine and serotonin receptors, causing hallucinations or psychedelic visions.
🌟 Harmful Effects
Physical Side Effects:
Increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, dehydration, nausea, and in extreme cases, kidney damage and seizures.
Psychological Side Effects:
Intense pleasure, sensory sensitivity, visual hallucinations, anxiety, and violent behavior.
🌟 Highly Addictive
A study published in Neuropsychiatry in 2017 found its addictive properties to be comparable to methamphetamine.
🌟 Potential Overdose Risks
Symptoms include shallow breathing, clammy skin, unresponsiveness, and in extreme cases, death.
