New drugs are becoming common while LSD is making a comeback. Cocaine and marijuana are becoming increasingly accepted in American life, and some political leaders and Clinton administration officials have suggested legalization. Many of the drugs popular now had not even been invented 30 years ago. The most famous and popular illegal drugs in America are marijuana and cocaine. It is a drug that can distort reality so drastically for users that symptoms can closely resemble mental illness.
Users can become violent and destructive towards themselves and others.
Death can ultimately result from overdose or accidents that occur while the user is under the influence of the drug. Some abusers have drowned in shallow ponds or burned to death in fires because PCP actually blocked their ability to feel pain. It is a liquid that is usually swallowed, often after having been placed in a sugar cube or blotter paper. Users can suffer from wide mood swings, and can feel fear, nausea, and other forms of extreme discomfort. Results can be so severe that complete emotional breakdown can occur.
