CLUB DRUGS USE SIGNS

"Club drugs”, the term implicates a wide variety of drugs mostly used at all-night dance parties ("raves"), concerts and nightclubs. These drugs actually harm the neurons in the brain, impairing the senses, coordination and memory judgment.

Various types of club drugs have varied effects on a person. Certain common symptoms are loss of muscle and motor control, seizures and blurred vision.

Drugs like ecstasy are stimulants which increase your blood pressure and heart rate leading to heart or kidney malfunctioning. Few club drugs, like GHB, are depressants which may cause drowsiness, breathing problems or even unconsciousness.

Drugs like Rohypnol can cause a type of amnesia. Here users usually forget what they did or said while using the same.

Excessive usage of club drugs sometimes causes severe breathing troubles, coma, or death at times.
