Is this even real? I remember an urban legend about crystallized wasp spray 'meth' but it was totally made up and probably very toxic to ingest. No buzz. Has this changed and we have a roach spray that actually gets you high?
I know that DXM has the reputation of a poor teenager's drug but it's a solid drug providing a nice high which isn't shy of other dissociatives. Specially the lower plateaus were lovely. Granted, it was my first drug, but I did it many times over many years and it was always great. Then I got my hands on methoxetamine and did that instead but I still think both are comparable. DXM is a tad more dirty though.
Bupropion has to be snorted to be a real stimulant and lasts only for ~30mins then you crash but the stuff remains into your body for a whole day and every redose accumulates. Remember that bupropion is seizurogenic and on some list it was #1 of seizure inducing medications around.
Benadryl is a delirant and nothing you want to take lightly just cause the acronym sounds like DXM.
The bug spray is real and used a lot in Tennessee and Kentucky, they will attach a piece of screen to jumper cables, then to a battery. They spray the bug spray on the screen and it crystallizes, they shake it, then spray some more. It can be snorted, smoked, intravenous, or rectally used.
This street drug is from abusing “roach sprays” which have a compound called “pyrethroids.” These compounds are synthetic versions of naturally occurring pyrethrins which are found in Chrysanthemums. The synthetic version is used because the natural version degrades when exposed to light. Pyrethroids are known to cause hyperexcitation by targeting sodium channels which are kept open for unusually long periods of time, which is thought to lead to the high.
It appears to provide two separate highs, when inhaled, or sprayed directly onto paper, tobacco, synthetic marijuana, or tea leaves and then smoke it or eaten it causes a severe reaction like the inability to speak or move, while also inhibiting the function of breathing. The user’s movements are slow and lethargic with a lot of drooling. The drug is highly addictive and produces a 45-minute, zombie-like high that leaves them nearly catatonic. Just a small amount can lead to an overdose.
When pyrethroids are crystallized through several unique processes, it acts more like a stimulant/hypnotic that provides a rush similar to methamphetamine and is often used with methamphetamine, to mask poor quality meth by dealers, increase the affects by users, or used as a replacement to meth when it is unavailable
Users of bug spray have used every conceivable route administration and have developed creative ways to crystallize it. This drug can huffed by spaying into a bag and inhaling. It can be “plugged,” “Boofed” or “Booty bumped” by using either the spray or crystals rectally.
One way to crystallize bug spray is to spray it on a hot surface or put it on a plate and put the plate in the microwave, which if it does not ignite or explode do to accelerants used in the can, it will cause it to crystallize. This purified material can then be inhaled or smoked. It can also be dissolved in water and injected intravenously.
In prison roach motels are put into plastic bags with paper, sealed, shaken, and placed in the sun. When the chemicals get infused on the paper, they eat or smoke it. It is also smuggled into prisons by being sprayed on letters and mailed in.
Pyrethroids modify the sodium channels in neuronal membranes, which are kept open for unusually long periods of time, and thereby disrupt the electrical signaling in the nervous system. When high doses of pyrethroids are ingested, pyrethroid toxicity shows hyperglycemia and elevated plasma levels of noradrenaline and adrenaline, which includes excitation and convulsions. High levels of pyrethrins or pyrethroids can cause dizziness, headache, nausea, muscle twitching, reduced energy, changes in awareness, and loss of consciousness. This can result in irreversible neurological damage, or even death.
Relatively little is known about the pharmacokinetics and short-and long-term effects of wasp dope. Pyrethroids are known to produce potent sympathetic activation, salivation, hyperexcitability, choreoathetosis and seizures. Pyrethroids have a half-life of tens of hours.
Additionally, it cannot be detected in drug screens, this is what makes it a concern for treatment providers, most of the other OTC products that stimulant users to get high are detectable but this one is not.
