Cannabis holds the top spot as the most widespread illicit drug, renowned for the euphoric ‘high’ it brings. The THC in weed triggers this sensation, yet paradoxically, it’s also a key reason for its prohibition in the UK and Ireland.

But here’s the kicker: there’s a world beyond cannabis that induces a high. This guide delves into ten alternative avenues, many riskier than weed.

Cough syrup.

A household staple, cough syrup is innocuously accessible, yet its high doses can induce intense experiences.

Containing DXM, it’s present in numerous over-the-counter drugs, but abusing it risks adverse effects on heart rate and breathing, especially if mixed with alcohol.

Inhalants.

Ranging from aerosols to cleaning fluids, these legal substances induce a brief but potent intoxication. However, their long-term effects include severe brain damage, respiratory issues, and organ damage upon extended abuse.

Nitrites (‘Poppers’).

Often found in air fresheners, these dilate blood vessels, potentially enhancing sexual pleasure. However, misuse leads to dire consequences like brain damage, HIV risk due to impaired judgment during sex, and severe organ damage.

Nutmeg.

Common in kitchens, nutmeg, in high doses, triggers symptoms akin to toxic episodes, causing breathing difficulties, chest pain, and agitation. Excessive consumption can even prove fatal.

Toads.

Yes, licking a certain toad can induce a high due to its serotonin agonist content. However direct consumption leads to severe illness, including a racing heart and muscle weakness.

Extracting and smoking the substances is a safer way to experience the hallucinogens.

Bath Salts.

Synthetic cathinone packed as ‘bath salts’ elevate mood and libido but bring on violence and addiction. Their usage often leads to terrifying withdrawal symptoms and, in extreme cases, fatalities.

Motion Sickness Pills.

Over-the-counter antihistamines, when abused, result in delirium, irregular heartbeat, and hallucinations. Severe cases can lead to heart attacks or brain damage.

Hand Sanitizer.

Surprisingly, the high alcohol content in hand sanitizers entices some for its intoxicating effect, but it poses severe health risks like vision problems and alcohol poisoning.

Anti-Diarrhea Pills

Opioid addicts resort to these pills for their opioid content, risking cardiac arrest or seizures due to their potency, 50 times stronger than morphine.

Krokodil.

A dangerous homemade drug is infamous in Russia, providing a heroin-like high but with horrifying consequences.

Injecting it leads to tissue decay and gruesome physical effects, resulting in a drastically shortened life expectancy.

In Conclusion.

Despite their legality, these alternatives to cannabis pose fatal risks. The alarming effects highlight the need for caution.

While weed offers an intoxicating high with fewer health hazards, none of the mentioned alternatives are recommended. The legal status of these substances doesn’t mitigate their perilous consequences.
