Anyone heard about this "new drug" or read the New York Post write up about it yesterday? It said it is the most dangerous drug on the planet and has been growing in use in the UK, Thailand and US. Has anyone seen or had any experience with this drug? I guess it's a combo of Ephedrine and Meth. that can be smoked, popped, sniffed, or used an the skin. IP: Logged |

I read the article about it in Bizarre magazine also. Aparently it makes people go nucking futs...like it had a picture of a guy who stabbed himself while he was on it. the article basically said it was screwing up a lot of lives. stick with the herb if you are going to do drugs. IP: Logged |

Yeah.. I read the effects it is having on people and it is downright scary. In the post it told of a guy that had been smoking it and when police tried to ask him questions on the street he grabed a 4 year old girl and held a knife to her throat. When the police got closer he cut her throat and she died. A couple days later they made him recount the crime on national television. A day after that he was able to run free from guards and rammed his head into a wall killing himself. After seeing all these posts on rec. drugs I wanted to let people know about this one....and to stay as far away from it as possible. Evidently some of the pills being sold as X are actually Ya Ba, so please be careful. IP: Logged |

here's some info from urban75.com Originally manufactured by the Nazis to help keep their troops awake for days, Yaba has become increasingly popular in the Far East amongst claims that the drug is now bigger than heroin in Thailand. Yaba is a derivative of synthetic amphetamines such as speed and can be manufactured far more quickly and easily than traditional forms of amphetamine. The recipe has spread from the Far East by word of mouth and on the Internet (no, don't ask us). The drug usually comes in pill form and with its potent mix of visuals and intense highs, drug experts suspect that the drug will soon become popular on the UK club scene. Although yaba is still very rare in the UK, drug experts report that the UK is being targeted by yaba producers from the 'Golden Triangle' - the drug producing areas which straddle the borders of Thailand, Burma and Laos. The main ingredients, which include salt, house-hold cleaning products, distilled cold medicines and lithium from camera batteries, can be bought legally and the drug easily knocked out at home with a couple of casserole dishes and a hob. The rewards for criminals can be huge. Around �300 of raw materials can make yaba worth more than �2,000 at British street prices. Since the equipment needed is portable, labs can be moved on a regular basis, making it more difficult for police to track them down. Side effects:The drug is claimed to create an intense hallucinogenic effect and can keep users awake for days on end, although some users have reported that the only visuals come as a result of sleep deprivation after binge sessions. Health risks: Addictive. Regular use of the drug has been linked to lung and kidney disorders, hallucinations and paranoia. A frequent hallucination is 'speed bugs' or crank bugs' where users believe that bugs are crawling under their skin and go loopy trying to get them out. In Thailand, the number of students entering rehab to deal with yaba addiction has risen by nearly 1,000% in the past two years (source: Observer 17.10.99) Those coming off the drug are also susceptible to severe depression and suicidal urges. Detection periods: unknown The Law: unknown. IP: Logged |
