The Dangers of Smoking Spice.

People try different drugs for recreational use for a variety of reasons.  One of the newer more popular additions to the list is K2 or “spice”.  This refers to a wide variety of herbal mixtures that produce experiences similar to marijuana.  If you are not familiar with spice then you may need to become so.  Among high school seniors, smoking spice has become the second most used illicit drug after marijuana itself.

Don’t be deceived!  Labels on Spice products often claim that they contain “natural” psychoactive material taken from a variety of plants.  Poison control centers have reported a variety of after effects from smoking spice.  Among them are rapid heart rate, vomiting, agitation, confusion, hallucinations, raised blood pressure and reduced blood supply to the heart, and, in a few cases, heart attacks.

Learning the Signs of Drug Abuse.

Are you abusing alcohol?  An alcoholic is one who typically continues to drink to excess even after they know that they may be in a downward spiral.  Alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction are NOT the same.  Alcohol addiction is specific to psychological and physical dependency.  Individuals who may be suffering from alcohol abuse will build a tolerance to the drug even after problems have surfaced.

What about cocaine abuse?  Cocaine is the type of drug that increases dopamine in the brain.  Dopamine typically gives one a sense of euphoria and emboldens the individual for a short period of time making them feel more “in charge”.  There is a considerable potential of abuse however, which may lead to psychiatric disorders, disease, and heart failure.

Do you or someone you know have an addiction to alcohol or cocaine?  There is a remarkable place in Florida on the breathtaking Gulf Coast where you have the opportunity to fight the ravages of drug abuse.  It is called Blu By The Sea.  We are a drug rehabilitation center in Florida’s panhandle.  Please visit our website at www.blubythesea.com and view the details of our facility located in Destin Florida.  Please call today at (850) 424-3252.
