The vast majority of drugs that are used or abused are strictly made and taken to get high, period. There is no legal use for drugs like cocaine or meth or heroin.
Ever thought you knew everything about drugs like cocaine, meth, or even fentanyl? Think again. In this episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths', SafeHouse Rehab Thailand sheds light on the often misunderstood world of illegal and diverted substances. You’ll learn about the status, sources, and devastating effects of nineteen different drugs, most of which are used purely to get high. Only alcohol and marijuana have any legal standing, and even then, their misuse can lead to severe consequences.
The episode doesn't just stop at illegal drugs. It also dives into the murky waters of diverted substances, particularly opioids, which often start as legal prescriptions but end up being abused. Fentanyl, for instance, is a legal painkiller in hospitals but has become a leading cause of overdose deaths due to its potency and ease of distribution. One of the most eye-opening parts of the episode is the discussion on Oxycontin.
The marketing of this drug has been misleading at best, contributing to widespread addiction and misuse. The hosts emphasize the need for honest information and proper treatment to combat these issues effectively. If you’re curious about the real impact of these substances and want practical advice on dealing with addiction, this episode is a must-listen. It’s packed with insights that can help you understand the complexities of drug abuse and take informed steps toward recovery.
