paranoia, aggression and psychosis

poor muscle control and unsteadiness

muscle aches and stiffness

nausea

loss of appetite

increased body temperature

sweating

skin tingles

dilated pupils

heightened sensations (sight, hearing, touch)

jaw clenching

teeth grinding.

✨Heroin✨

✨Once heroin enters the brain, it is converted to morphine and binds rapidly to opioid receptors. People who use heroin typically report feeling a surge of pleasurable sensation—a "rush." The intensity of the rush is a function of how much drug is taken and how rapidly the drug enters the brain and binds to the opioid receptors. With heroin, the rush is usually accompanied by a warm flushing of the skin, dry mouth, and a heavy feeling in the extremities.  Nausea, vomiting, and severe itching may also occur. After the initial effects, users usually will be drowsy for several hours; mental function is clouded; heart function slows; and breathing is also severely slowed, sometimes enough to be life-threatening. Slowed breathing can also lead to coma and permanent brain damage✨

LSD

Physical Effects

Dilated pupils

Higher or lower body temperature

Sweating or chills (“goose bumps”)

Loss of appetite

Sleeplessness

Dry mouth

Tremors

Mental Effects

Delusions

Visual hallucinations

An artificial sense of euphoria or certainty

Distortion of one’s sense of time and identity

Impaired depth perception

Impaired time perception, distorted perception of the size and shape of objects, movements, color, sounds, touch and the user’s own body image

Severe, terrifying thoughts and feelings

Fear of losing control

Panic attacks

Flashbacks, or a recurrence of the LSD trip, often without warning long after taking LSD

Severe depression or psychosis

Marijuana

Pleasant experiences with marijuana are by no means universal. Instead of relaxation and euphoria, some people experience anxiety, fear, distrust, or panic. These effects are more common when a person takes too much, the marijuana has an unexpectedly high potency, or the person is inexperienced. People who have taken large doses of marijuana may experience an acute psychosis, which includes hallucinations, delusions, and a loss of the sense of personal identity. These unpleasant but temporary reactions are distinct from longer-lasting psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia, that may be associated with the use of marijuana in vulnerable individuals.

Remember: Drugs arent ok to use (except if theyre medecine) so DONT take them!
