Inhalants are drugs inhaled. There are several different types of inhalants that all greatly vary. Inhalants vary from household items you can buy at the store to medical grade items.
Nitrates and other nitrate compounds are the most common medical grade inhalants. Nitrates relax smooth muscles that control the diameter of the blood vessels. This means your eyes would dilate, blood vessels enlarge, and your bowels loosen. The mental effects are warming and giddy sensations. It also has a sexual sensation aspect. Skin sensitivity, exhilaration and acceleration of sex organs is common with nitrate inhalants. Some nitrate inhalants are industrial chemicals, which means they are not intended for human consumption. Since it affects the blood vessels …show more content…
These are the household items that anyone can purchase. Industrial chemicals such as chloroform, toluene, benzene, methanol, coolants, paints, glues, and gases. These are the most dangerous, even to a first-time user. The general method of consuming solvents is called “huffing”. Initially, blood levels peak, dizziness, disorientation, light-headedness, muscular incoordination and ringing in the ears usually occur first. The high is then followed by what is called “standard symptoms of chemical depression of the central nervous system”. Vomiting, loss of reflexes, respiration suppression, cardiac and curation problems and even at worst, death are all possible and potential symptoms from solvent inhalants. The diversity of chemicals in solvents makes it difficult to list all of the toxicity effects. Even if the use is not directly harmed from the inhalants, often they receive trauma related from the experience. Physical harm and burns from the chemicals are common. The high from inhalants induces depression and users have committed suicide. It is extremely common for first-time users to die. It is very unlikely for individuals to progress as a long-term user. The little research that is done regarding toxicity says that the drug causes damage mainly to the central nervous system and cerebellum, causing the cells to die. Other areas possibly damaged are memory retention, attention, concentration, heart, kidneys, liver, blood, and
