Acceptance of this "explanation" by the general Public is partly why our vehicularly armed killers now have the lightest penalties in the world. Surprising other violent offenders haven't seen the potential in this way of spinning it yet.

Special K – Ketamine is an analog of PCP, and is used as a veterinary tranquilizer which causes hallucinations and stupor. It is smoked, snorted or injected, and mixed with other drugs such as heroin.

Ice - A smokable form of recrystallized meth-amphetamine with a similar effect of crack cocaine. However, unlike the crack high, which lasts only 10-15 minutes, the ice high lasts 10 hours.

YABA - imported from southeast Asia, it’s an ultra pure form of meth-amphetamine pressed into tiny pills. The pills, small enough to fit in the end of a soda straw, produce a 10 hour stimulating high.

Rarer risk drugs - often ingredients of club drugs

GHB- a dissociative anaesthetic

-ghb causes grogginess for 4-24 hours

Signs of behavioral effects and impaired performance have been reported in several driving case reports. In 13 driving under the influence cases where GHB was detected reported symptoms were as for a CNS depressant. Subjects were usually stopped because of erratic driving, such as weaving, ignoring road signs, and near-collisions.

Common signs of impairment included confusion and disorientation, incoherent speech, short-term memory loss, vertigo and unsteady gait, poor coordination, poor performance of field sobriety tests, copious vomiting, unresponsiveness, somnolence, and transient loss of consciousness.

GHB concentrations in blood specimens collected between 1-3.5 hours of the arrest ranged from 26-155 mg/L (median 95 mg/L). Other symptoms included drowsiness, agitation, loss of peripheral vision and slow responses.

Tip ID users - by dilated pupils and sweating.

Hallucinogens

Examples of Hallucinogens include magic mushrooms and synthetic drugs such as LSD, MDA, DMT, STP. These are drugs that distort reality.

Mushrooms last 4-6 hours usually, MDMA or MDMB (E with stimulants added) often lasts 3-6 hrs but may have effects up to 24, LSD lasts 24 hours.

Effects include seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, or feeling something that isn't really there or is different from the way it really is.

Impairment may include a psychotic episode, panic and uncontrolled excitement, a feeling of terror with an attempt to escape, flashbacks, altered body sensations, weakness, dizziness, tingling skin, and perceptual distortion of the five senses.

Because LSD and similar drugs can strongly influence the senses; drivers may react to objects or sounds that aren't there, placing themselves and other road users in danger

Driving could be very erratic but users in one study had good insight it's inadvisable to drive. TIP - ID users by "dazed" looking, poor co-ordination & may be sweaty or have goose bumps.

Ketamine (often added to E) can cause grogginess or paralysis for over 90 minutes,

Phencyclidines (PCP) - may also be added to pot or ecstasy

Examples of Phencyclidines include PCP & ketamine. Persons taking PCP can react as if they had taken a stimulant, a depressant, a hallucinogen or any combination of these.

The impact upon an individual is unpredictable Impairment includes delirium, agitation, visual disturbances, increased blood pressure, rigid muscle tone, speech difficulty, violence, and convulsions. Again driving could be very erratic.

Pcp ("wet") which is sometimes added to pot can cause grogginess or paralysis for over 90 minutes,

Solvents - also dissociative anaesthetics

Examples of Inhalants include glue, cleaning fluids, nail polish remover, nitrous oxide, and anesthetic gases.

Inhalants block oxygen from reaching the brain. They may sedate, stimulate or be hallucinogenic. Impairment may include inebriation, dizziness, numbness, bizarre thoughts, euphoria, distorted sense of time, hallucinations, floating sensations, grandiosity, nausea, excessive salivation, drowsiness, weakness, lightheadedness, altered shapes and colors, slurred speech, disorientation, and confusion, instant death.

Basically poor environmental awareness impairs driving

SOLVENTS (Glue); effects generally last an hour or so after use but are worse the longer you have been sniffing.

Nos has a brief groggy effect only

Double Stack – or PMA Paramethoxyamphetamine is a designer analog of meth-amphetamine first used illicitly in Australia in 1994. Often sold as "Ecstasy" but more dangerous because it doesn't produce the pleasurable MDMA effects so users take more of the drug seeking a high and can die with a temperature.

DXM - Dextromethorphan is very often passed off as Ecstasy at clubs and Raves, it’s found in many cold remedies such as Robitussin DM cough syrup. DXM produces hallucinations and a heavy "stoned" feeling.
Fants-i - or 2C-i is one of the newest designer drugs responsible for several overdoses. Sold over the internet as a research chemical, 2C-i is related to Nexus. A tasteless liquid with narrow OD margin.
Cat - Methcathanone is an analog of meth-amphetamine originating in Russia. Easy to make without the tell-tail fumes of meth-amphetamine production, it produces a cocaine like high with hallucinations.

*555 calls ? save lives

NZ BADD (Bikers Against Drunk Driving) has a charter is to promote calls to star 555.

A Candor member (18) was near killed and two were seriously injured by a Canterbury drug driver after several 111 calls by a following motorist weren't answered.

We believe BADD has made an important call, one that should be supported by far more "loose" patrols targeting visible violations.

Feed back experience

Please have a pen handy to record the number plates of potential killers - and follow up the service level in response to your star 555 or 111 call.

Let us know how it goes!

GHB, Super-G, Liquid-G, Liquid Ecstasy - Gama Hydroxi-Butyric Acid was originally thought to be a human growth hormone and was abuse by body builders until banned in 1991 by the FDA. It is a clear odorless liquid with a slight salty taste which produces a alcohol-like drunken condition.

GBL, - gamma-butyrolactone, and 1.4BD and other similar GHB relatives are being sold over the internet so manufacturers can avoid detection and prosecution.

Ecstasy - or MDMA has a chemical structure that resembles meth-amphetamine, but unlike meth, can also produce mild hallucinations and a strong feeling of emotional closeness to other people.

Nexus - or 2C-B is a phenylethylamine analog of the powerful hallucinatory drug "DOB." It has much stronger Ecstasy-like feelings of closeness and is sought after for it's strong sexual enhancement properties.
