ADDICTED,<\/strong> he doesn't control his drug use; his drug use controls him. When an addict loses the ability to make a rational choice about whether or not to use drugs or alcohol, he or she is addicted.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>Addiction is a condition whereby a person experiences an irresistible urge to seek out and use drugs or alcohol despite negative physical and mental consequences.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>Addiction is usually accompanied by physical and psychological dependence on the drug and the person suffers withdrawal symptoms when the drug is rapidly decreased or stopped.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p><strong>Narconon does not believe that addiction is a disease,<\/strong> that it is incurable or that a person must \"live with it\" for the rest of his life. In the experience of Narconon staff and graduates, it is possible to fully recover from addiction and enjoy a productive, drug-free life.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>To understand addiction, you must first understand drugs\u2014what they are, the signs and symptoms of their use as well as the short-term and long-term effects of using drugs.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"danger-box\">\r\n <p><strong><i class=\"fas fa-exclamation-triangle\"><\/i> Important Note:<\/strong> Addicts will often deny their addiction.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n <div class=\"content-section\">\r\n <h2 class=\"section-title\">What is a Synthetic Drug?<\/h2>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"chemical-diagram\">\r\n <p><strong>SYNTHETIC DRUGS ARE CREATED<\/strong> using man-made chemicals rather than natural ingredients.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>New synthetic drugs regularly hit the market across the US, Canada, Europe and Australia. The effects of these drugs have been disastrous\u2014even fatal\u2014for thousands of people.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>The speed with which chemists come up with a new formula and get that formula to the illegal drug market has created an international crisis.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>Formulas change so quickly and so frequently that law enforcement and healthcare can't keep up.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <p>A number of these synthetic drugs, including Ecstasy, LSD and methamphetamine, are described in other booklets in this series. This booklet gives the facts about synthetic marijuana (Spice or K2), synthetic stimulants (bath salts) and a drug known as N-bomb. These are among the synthetic drugs known as designer drugs.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n <div class=\"content-section\">\r\n <h2 class=\"section-title\">Designer Drugs: A Risky Experiment<\/h2>\r\n \r\n <p><strong>TO UNDERSTAND WHAT SPICE, K2 AND BATH SALTS ARE<\/strong> and how they began, you should know what a designer drug is.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"info-grid\">\r\n <div class=\"info-card\">\r\n <h3 class=\"card-title\">What is a Designer Drug?<\/h3>\r\n <p>A designer drug is a synthetic (chemically made) version of an illegal drug that has been slightly altered to avoid having it classified as illegal. It is essentially an experiment by a chemist done to create a new drug that can be sold legally (on the Internet or in stores), allowing dealers to make money without breaking the law.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"info-card\">\r\n <h3 class=\"card-title\">The Endless Cycle<\/h3>\r\n <p>As law enforcement catches up with new chemicals that are so created and makes them illegal, manufacturers devise altered versions to steer clear of the law. So the cycle repeats.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"highlight-box\">\r\n <p>Some of these drugs are sold over the Internet or in certain stores as \"herbal smoking blends,\" while others are disguised as products labeled \"not for human consumption,\" such as \"herbal incense,\" \"plant food,\" \"bath salts\" or \"jewelry cleaner,\" to mask their intended purpose and avoid health and safety rules.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"danger-box\">\r\n <p><strong><span class=\"warning-symbol\">!<\/span>Critical Warning:<\/strong> Due to the constantly growing number of chemicals that are developed, designer-drug users have no way of knowing what the drugs they take might contain. Further, as a small modification made to a known drug may result\u2014and often does\u2014in a new drug with greatly different effects, users cannot predict the impact on health from the substances they experiment with.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"stats-container\">\r\n <div class=\"stat-box\">\r\n <div class=\"stat-number\">200-300<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"stat-label\">New designer drugs identified in US (2009-2014)<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"stat-box\">\r\n <div class=\"stat-number\">650+<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"stat-label\">New designer drugs flooded Europe (past 10 years)<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <p>Most of them manufactured in China.

I woke up my mom and she laid me down on the couch and called the ambulance. About ten minutes before the ambulance showed up, I started to have seizures. I woke up in a hospital bed on life support. I had gone into cardiac arrest for a few hours and they thought I wasn't going to wake up. But I survived it and I have not been the same. I stutter a lot now and I can't concentrate on anything. I'll be telling a story and just go blank and not know what happened.

It ruined my life. When I tried smoking K2 for the first time, it was like everything dissolved into what seemed like the fuzz on the TV screen. I remember thinking 'This is what hell is.' All I could feel was awful fear. I heard voices of family members\u2014flashbacks to when I was younger and the worst experience I've ever had. I was shaking horribly and I felt terrified and sick. Ever since that day, I have had awful anxiety on a daily basis.

I became hooked while on probation. I used it to get high and still beat drug tests. I went from a gram or less a day to over three or four a day. As my addiction progressed, my ability to control basic behavior and motor skills deteriorated. I grew more aggressive when I became upset, which became more frequent, the more and longer I used. One morning, I had a psychotic break during which I blacked out and almost killed my wife. I was arrested and my probation was revoked. Since being released, I share my experience with others to encourage them not to use this drug.<\/p>\r\n <div class=\"testimonial-author\">\u2014S.W.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"testimonial\">\r\n <p>After using spice for several weeks, I woke up early one night, fell to the floor, couldn't move my legs and couldn't move my hips.

In the same way that spice and K2 are referred to as synthetic marijuana, bath salts are referred to as synthetic stimulants. They can also cause hallucinations like that of LSD.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"info-card\">\r\n <h3 class=\"card-title\">How They're Sold<\/h3>\r\n <p>It is usually sold in powdered form in small plastic or foil packages.

There are several variations of this drug, but 25I-NBOMe (chemical name), often shortened to 25I, is its most used and potent form.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"danger-box\">\r\n <p><strong><span class=\"warning-symbol\">!<\/span>Critical Dosage Warning:<\/strong> A dose of 750 micrograms, considered an average to high dose, is about the size of six small grains of regular table salt.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"info-grid\">\r\n <div class=\"info-card\">\r\n <h3 class=\"card-title\">Effects Duration<\/h3>\r\n <p>Effects of only a tiny amount of the drug can last for up to twelve hours or longer. Users report the negative effects and after-effects of the drug are worse than that of LSD. It also mimics the effects of methamphetamine.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"info-card\">\r\n <h3 class=\"card-title\">How It's Sold<\/h3>\r\n <p>N-bomb is sold in liquid or powdered form or on soaked blotter paper. It has a strong, bitter metallic taste and some dealers add mint or fruit flavoring to the liquid and blotter varieties.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <h3 class=\"section-subtitle\">How It's Used<\/h3>\r\n <div class=\"danger-box\">\r\n <p><strong>Extremely Dangerous:<\/strong> As N-bomb creates no effect if swallowed, users place it under their tongue, where it gets absorbed. Some users inject it, smoke the powdered form, breathe it through the nose, vaporize and inhale it, or insert it rectally. Any of these uses are dangerous as only a few grains produce an effect, and it is extremely easy to overdose\u2014with sometimes fatal consequences.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p><strong>Handling Warning:<\/strong> N-bomb is so toxic that it requires a filter mask, gloves and glasses while handling it. This is also a problem for law enforcement officers, as they can get a fatal overdose simply by not wearing protective gear when collecting drug evidence from a suspect.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <h3 class=\"section-subtitle\">N-bomb Short-term Effects<\/h3>\r\n <div class=\"info-grid\">\r\n <div class=\"info-card\">\r\n <h4 class=\"card-title\">Effects on the Mind<\/h4>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>Visual and auditory hallucinations<\/li>\r\n <li>Confusion and disorientation<\/li>\r\n <li>Scrambled communication<\/li>\r\n <li>Aggression<\/li>\r\n <li>Paranoia and panic<\/li>\r\n <li>Agitation<\/li>\r\n <li>Insomnia<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"info-card\">\r\n <h4 class=\"card-title\">Effects on the Body<\/h4>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>Shaking<\/li>\r\n <li>Nausea\/vomiting<\/li>\r\n <li>Fainting and loss of consciousness<\/li>\r\n <li>Muscle spasms<\/li>\r\n <li>Difficulty breathing<\/li>\r\n <li>High white cell count<\/li>\r\n <li>Rapid heart rate<\/li>\r\n <li>High acid level in the body<\/li>\r\n <li>Extremely high blood pressure<\/li>\r\n <li>Extremely high fever<\/li>\r\n <li>Seizures\/involuntary flailing<\/li>\r\n <li>Kidney failure<\/li>\r\n <li>Heart attack<\/li>\r\n <li>Respiratory failure<\/li>\r\n <li>Bleeding in the brain<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <h3 class=\"section-subtitle\">N-bomb Long-term Effects<\/h3>\r\n <div class=\"highlight-box\">\r\n <p>In some users, N-bomb causes persistent and severe anxiety and depression that may last for months or years.

It was derived from a group of drugs called the 2C family of phenethylamines (PEA).<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"timeline-item\">\r\n <div class=\"timeline-year\">2012<\/div>\r\n <p>Nine of the PEA drugs were made illegal in the US, including the substance used to make N-bomb.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"timeline-item\">\r\n <div class=\"timeline-year\">Present<\/div>\r\n <p>Drug dealers produce various versions of N-bomb in secret laboratories or import them in bulk from China, India and other countries. An estimated nineteen deaths in two years have been linked to the drug in the US alone.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n <div class=\"content-section\">\r\n <h2 class=\"section-title\">Why Are the Number of Synthetic Drugs Increasing So Fast?<\/h2>\r\n \r\n <p><strong>IS IT BAFFLING WHY THERE ARE SO MANY<\/strong> different synthetics being sold? Here's why that's happening.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"info-grid\">\r\n <div class=\"info-card\">\r\n <h3 class=\"card-title\">Legal Loopholes<\/h3>\r\n <p>Around the world, government bodies are trying to keep these harmful drugs off the market. To do so, the specific substance in question must be illegal for sale. There's a loophole right there. If one of these products is sold as plant fertilizer, glass cleaner or incense, then the laws regulating its use are different from laws regulating a drug.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"info-card\">\r\n <h3 class=\"card-title\">\"Not for Human Consumption\"<\/h3>\r\n <p>So the individuals manufacturing these drugs simply label the packages \"not for human consumption.\" In the US state laws must ban that specific drug for police to be able to seize it and arrest sellers. In other countries the problem is similar\u2014national lawmakers must ban the drug.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"chemical-diagram\">\r\n <h3 class=\"section-subtitle\">The Endless Chemical Cycle<\/h3>\r\n \r\n <p>So let's say that a drug like MDMA (Ecstasy) or the chemicals found in spice or bath salts are banned by law in New York state. The underground chemists producing this drug simply turn to another, similar chemical and start manufacturing a new drug. It's not yet included in any New York laws, so the police can't get it off the street.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>Now, let's say the legislators in New York catch up and ban the new drug. The chemists now just switch to another drug in the same category. The changeover to the new drug simply involves a tiny shift in the molecules and a new name. But the tiny chemical change can mean death to the users of this new drug.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"danger-box\">\r\n <p><strong>No Safety Testing:<\/strong> There's certainly no testing for safety, no purity checks and no conscience in this industry.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n <div class=\"content-section\">\r\n <h2 class=\"section-title\">What Are Drugs?<\/h2>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"highlight-box\">\r\n <p><strong>DRUGS ARE ESSENTIALLY POISONS.<\/strong> The amount taken determines the effect.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>A small amount acts as a stimulant (speeds you up). A greater amount acts as a sedative (slows you down). An even larger amount poisons and can kill.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>This is true of any drug. Only the amount needed to achieve the effect differs.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>But many drugs have another liability: they directly affect the mind. They can distort the user's perception of what is happening around him. As a result, the person's actions may be odd, irrational, inappropriate and even destructive.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>Drugs also block off all sensations, the desirable ones along with the unwanted. So while providing short-term relief from pain, they also wipe out ability and alertness and muddy a person's thinking.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p><strong>Medicines are drugs<\/strong> that are intended to make your body work better by speeding up, slowing down or changing something about the way the body works. Sometimes they are necessary. But medicines are still drugs: they act as stimulants or sedatives and too much can kill you. If medicines are abused, they can be as dangerous as illegal drugs.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n <div class=\"content-section\">\r\n <h2 class=\"section-title\">About Narconon<\/h2>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"highlight-box\">\r\n <p><strong>NARCONON (MEANING \"NO NARCOTICS\")<\/strong> drug- and alcohol-rehabilitation program is open to all who desire to end their addictions and lead productive, drug-free lives.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>The Narconon program not only addresses the debilitating effects of drug abuse on the mind and body, but also helps resolve why a person turned to drugs in the first place.

ADDICTED,<\/strong> he doesn't control his drug use; his drug use controls him. When an addict loses the ability to make a rational choice about whether or not to use drugs or alcohol, he or she is addicted.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>Addiction is a condition whereby a person experiences an irresistible urge to seek out and use drugs or alcohol despite negative physical and mental consequences.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>Addiction is usually accompanied by physical and psychological dependence on the drug and the person suffers withdrawal symptoms when the drug is rapidly decreased or stopped.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p><strong>Narconon does not believe that addiction is a disease,<\/strong> that it is incurable or that a person must \"live with it\" for the rest of his life. In the experience of Narconon staff and graduates, it is possible to fully recover from addiction and enjoy a productive, drug-free life.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>To understand addiction, you must first understand drugs\u2014what they are, the signs and symptoms of their use as well as the short-term and long-term effects of using drugs.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"danger-box\">\r\n <p><strong><i class=\"fas fa-exclamation-triangle\"><\/i> Important Note:<\/strong> Addicts will often deny their addiction.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n <div class=\"content-section\">\r\n <h2 class=\"section-title\">What is a Synthetic Drug?<\/h2>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"chemical-diagram\">\r\n <p><strong>SYNTHETIC DRUGS ARE CREATED<\/strong> using man-made chemicals rather than natural ingredients.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>New synthetic drugs regularly hit the market across the US, Canada, Europe and Australia. The effects of these drugs have been disastrous\u2014even fatal\u2014for thousands of people.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>The speed with which chemists come up with a new formula and get that formula to the illegal drug market has created an international crisis.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>Formulas change so quickly and so frequently that law enforcement and healthcare can't keep up.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <p>A number of these synthetic drugs, including Ecstasy, LSD and methamphetamine, are described in other booklets in this series. This booklet gives the facts about synthetic marijuana (Spice or K2), synthetic stimulants (bath salts) and a drug known as N-bomb. These are among the synthetic drugs known as designer drugs.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n <div class=\"content-section\">\r\n <h2 class=\"section-title\">Designer Drugs: A Risky Experiment<\/h2>\r\n \r\n <p><strong>TO UNDERSTAND WHAT SPICE, K2 AND BATH SALTS ARE<\/strong> and how they began, you should know what a designer drug is.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"info-grid\">\r\n <div class=\"info-card\">\r\n <h3 class=\"card-title\">What is a Designer Drug?<\/h3>\r\n <p>A designer drug is a synthetic (chemically made) version of an illegal drug that has been slightly altered to avoid having it classified as illegal.

I had gone into cardiac arrest for a few hours and they thought I wasn't going to wake up. But I survived it and I have not been the same. I stutter a lot now and I can't concentrate on anything.

It ruined my life. When I tried smoking K2 for the first time, it was like everything dissolved into what seemed like the fuzz on the TV screen. I remember thinking 'This is what hell is.' All I could feel was awful fear. I heard voices of family members\u2014flashbacks to when I was younger and the worst experience I've ever had. I was shaking horribly and I felt terrified and sick. Ever since that day, I have had awful anxiety on a daily basis.

I became hooked while on probation. I used it to get high and still beat drug tests. I went from a gram or less a day to over three or four a day. As my addiction progressed, my ability to control basic behavior and motor skills deteriorated. I grew more aggressive when I became upset, which became more frequent, the more and longer I used. One morning, I had a psychotic break during which I blacked out and almost killed my wife. I was arrested and my probation was revoked. Since being released, I share my experience with others to encourage them not to use this drug.<\/p>\r\n <div class=\"testimonial-author\">\u2014S.W.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"testimonial\">\r\n <p>After using spice for several weeks, I woke up early one night, fell to the floor, couldn't move my legs and couldn't move my hips.

After the first hour I started to feel the cocaine-ish comedown that grew increasingly worse. The left side of my chest began to tighten and my heart was beating faster than ever. Paranoia set in.

There are several variations of this drug, but 25I-NBOMe (chemical name), often shortened to 25I, is its most used and potent form.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"danger-box\">\r\n <p><strong><span class=\"warning-symbol\">!<\/span>Critical Dosage Warning:<\/strong> A dose of 750 micrograms, considered an average to high dose, is about the size of six small grains of regular table salt.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"info-grid\">\r\n <div class=\"info-card\">\r\n <h3 class=\"card-title\">Effects Duration<\/h3>\r\n <p>Effects of only a tiny amount of the drug can last for up to twelve hours or longer. Users report the negative effects and after-effects of the drug are worse than that of LSD. It also mimics the effects of methamphetamine.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"info-card\">\r\n <h3 class=\"card-title\">How It's Sold<\/h3>\r\n <p>N-bomb is sold in liquid or powdered form or on soaked blotter paper.

Some users inject it, smoke the powdered form, breathe it through the nose, vaporize and inhale it, or insert it rectally. Any of these uses are dangerous as only a few grains produce an effect, and it is extremely easy to overdose\u2014with sometimes fatal consequences.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p><strong>Handling Warning:<\/strong> N-bomb is so toxic that it requires a filter mask, gloves and glasses while handling it. This is also a problem for law enforcement officers, as they can get a fatal overdose simply by not wearing protective gear when collecting drug evidence from a suspect.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <h3 class=\"section-subtitle\">N-bomb Short-term Effects<\/h3>\r\n <div class=\"info-grid\">\r\n <div class=\"info-card\">\r\n <h4 class=\"card-title\">Effects on the Mind<\/h4>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>Visual and auditory hallucinations<\/li>\r\n <li>Confusion and disorientation<\/li>\r\n <li>Scrambled communication<\/li>\r\n <li>Aggression<\/li>\r\n <li>Paranoia and panic<\/li>\r\n <li>Agitation<\/li>\r\n <li>Insomnia<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"info-card\">\r\n <h4 class=\"card-title\">Effects on the Body<\/h4>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>Shaking<\/li>\r\n <li>Nausea\/vomiting<\/li>\r\n <li>Fainting and loss of consciousness<\/li>\r\n <li>Muscle spasms<\/li>\r\n <li>Difficulty breathing<\/li>\r\n <li>High white cell count<\/li>\r\n <li>Rapid heart rate<\/li>\r\n <li>High acid level in the body<\/li>\r\n <li>Extremely high blood pressure<\/li>\r\n <li>Extremely high fever<\/li>\r\n <li>Seizures\/involuntary flailing<\/li>\r\n <li>Kidney failure<\/li>\r\n <li>Heart attack<\/li>\r\n <li>Respiratory failure<\/li>\r\n <li>Bleeding in the brain<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <h3 class=\"section-subtitle\">N-bomb Long-term Effects<\/h3>\r\n <div class=\"highlight-box\">\r\n <p>In some users, N-bomb causes persistent and severe anxiety and depression that may last for months or years.

It was derived from a group of drugs called the 2C family of phenethylamines (PEA).<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"timeline-item\">\r\n <div class=\"timeline-year\">2012<\/div>\r\n <p>Nine of the PEA drugs were made illegal in the US, including the substance used to make N-bomb.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"timeline-item\">\r\n <div class=\"timeline-year\">Present<\/div>\r\n <p>Drug dealers produce various versions of N-bomb in secret laboratories or import them in bulk from China, India and other countries.

Here's why that's happening.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"info-grid\">\r\n <div class=\"info-card\">\r\n <h3 class=\"card-title\">Legal Loopholes<\/h3>\r\n <p>Around the world, government bodies are trying to keep these harmful drugs off the market. To do so, the specific substance in question must be illegal for sale. There's a loophole right there. If one of these products is sold as plant fertilizer, glass cleaner or incense, then the laws regulating its use are different from laws regulating a drug.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"info-card\">\r\n <h3 class=\"card-title\">\"Not for Human Consumption\"<\/h3>\r\n <p>So the individuals manufacturing these drugs simply label the packages \"not for human consumption.\" In the US state laws must ban that specific drug for police to be able to seize it and arrest sellers. In other countries the problem is similar\u2014national lawmakers must ban the drug.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"chemical-diagram\">\r\n <h3 class=\"section-subtitle\">The Endless Chemical Cycle<\/h3>\r\n \r\n <p>So let's say that a drug like MDMA (Ecstasy) or the chemicals found in spice or bath salts are banned by law in New York state. The underground chemists producing this drug simply turn to another, similar chemical and start manufacturing a new drug. It's not yet included in any New York laws, so the police can't get it off the street.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>Now, let's say the legislators in New York catch up and ban the new drug. The chemists now just switch to another drug in the same category. The changeover to the new drug simply involves a tiny shift in the molecules and a new name. But the tiny chemical change can mean death to the users of this new drug.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"danger-box\">\r\n <p><strong>No Safety Testing:<\/strong> There's certainly no testing for safety, no purity checks and no conscience in this industry.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n <div class=\"content-section\">\r\n <h2 class=\"section-title\">What Are Drugs?<\/h2>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"highlight-box\">\r\n <p><strong>DRUGS ARE ESSENTIALLY POISONS.<\/strong> The amount taken determines the effect.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>A small amount acts as a stimulant (speeds you up). A greater amount acts as a sedative (slows you down). An even larger amount poisons and can kill.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>This is true of any drug. Only the amount needed to achieve the effect differs.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>But many drugs have another liability: they directly affect the mind. They can distort the user's perception of what is happening around him. As a result, the person's actions may be odd, irrational, inappropriate and even destructive.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>Drugs also block off all sensations, the desirable ones along with the unwanted. So while providing short-term relief from pain, they also wipe out ability and alertness and muddy a person's thinking.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p><strong>Medicines are drugs<\/strong> that are intended to make your body work better by speeding up, slowing down or changing something about the way the body works. Sometimes they are necessary. But medicines are still drugs: they act as stimulants or sedatives and too much can kill you. If medicines are abused, they can be as dangerous as illegal drugs.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n <div class=\"content-section\">\r\n <h2 class=\"section-title\">About Narconon<\/h2>\r\n \r\n <div class=\"highlight-box\">\r\n <p><strong>NARCONON (MEANING \"NO NARCOTICS\")<\/strong> drug- and alcohol-rehabilitation program is open to all who desire to end their addictions and lead productive, drug-free lives.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>The Narconon program not only addresses the debilitating effects of drug abuse on the mind and body, but also helps resolve why a person turned to drugs in the first place.
