MDA

MDA
3,4- methylenedioxyamphetamine, as well as 1- (1-3-benzodixol-5-yl)-2-propamine is a synthetic amphetamine derivative, sometimes sold as ecstasy, most commonly in combination with MDMA and rarely in pure state.

Effects: The effect is stronger, but less "magical" from those by extasy. MDA is less hallucinogenic. The on-set effect is after 30-40-min, and the effect duration is about 8-12h. The trip is 4-5h. There are several other effects like
extreme mood lift
increased willingness to communicate
increase in energy (stimulation)
feelings of comfort, belonging, and closeness to others
feelings of love and empathy
sensations bright and intense
urge to hug and kiss people

Risks and secondary effects:
nausea
vomiting
mouth dryness,
jaw clenching
sweating
bad coordination
sleep disturbance and convulsions.

Under effect people may create inappropriate and/or unintended emotional bonding or say things they might feel uncomfortable about later. They can experience difficulty concentrating and problems with short-term memory. Headache and dizziness as well. There's a risk of moderately increased body temperature, dehydratation and over-heating (hyperthermia). After using there's a chance of unpleasant feelings similar to hangover, lasting days-to weeks. Although there are no reports enough or physical addiction, there's a possibility of strong urge to repeat the experience. Possible mild depression and fatigue for up to a week, which could transform into severe forms.

Long-term risks: MDA is simultaneously neurotoxin and liver toxic. In a case of constant use there are possible symptoms similar to schizophrenia. Some people may be exposed to a risk of psychotic crisis (psychotic episodes, severe panic attacks), which may require hospitalization.

GHB

GHB is a chemical substance which is used in the medicine as an anesthetic. GHB has double action: it causes euphoria, and after that has a sleepy effect. The use of GHB as a drug is mostly characteristic about night life. It’s usually sold in the form of soluble powder or iquid . The characteristic effects are slight euphoria, low inhibitions and facilitated communication. Some people get dizziness, nausea, muscle spasms and hallucinations.

The combined use of GHB and alcohol brings big risks of loss of consciousness and experience of temporary coma, followed by amnesia. Because of the thin boundary between a normal dose and an overdose, GHB brings danger of hard overdose effects – combination of unconsciousness and vomiting, which is very dangerous.

If the person near you has used GHB and feels bad, call the ER on tel. 112.

Ketamine

Ketamine is a product, which is used as an anesthetic in the human and veterinary medicine. As a drug it is mostly found in the form of sniff powder. Big doses of Ketamine provoke an anesthetic and analgesic effect, smaller doses can cause hallucinogenic effects.

mCPP

mCPP is a chemical ingredient, which is used in the production of medicaments. mCPP increases the serotonin levels in the brain, and thus causes a sense of wellbeing and pleasure. The effects of the use of mCPP could be very various. Some people find them close to XTC effects - social release, raised energy.

You have to know that the use of mCPP could lead to serotonin poisoning. After the action of the substance is gone, most of the users pass through negative effects such as nausea, daze, anxiety, hallucinations, overexcitement, overcooling and headache. The bigger the dose of mCPP, the bigger the risks of negative follow up effects.
