Drugs are the killer of the younger generation. You must have known the various kinds of drugs that are widely circulating in Indonesia, such as marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine. The BNN (National Narcotics Agency) says that around 50 people die every day because of narcotics and illegal drugs. However, apart from the types of drugs that we often hear about, there are many other types of drugs in the world that are even deadlier when consumed. Let's see what are the types of drugs that are the most deadly, in the following.

7 types of the deadliest drugs in the world

According to research, these seven drugs are among the most deadly types. The following is a ranking of younger generation killer drugs from seventh to first:

7. Crystal meth

It is the most destructive substance in the world. Shabu was developed in 1887, and was widely used during World War 2 to keep troops awake. The methamphetamine effect is devastating. In short-term use, the effect is difficulty sleeping and feeling anxious. But in the long term, methamphetamine will cause damage to the body due to damage to the brain and blood vessels.

6. AH-7921

AH-7921 is a synthetic opioid previously sold on line legally until it became a Class A drug in January 2015. It is believed to have 80% morphine potency, so it is known as legal heroin. Although there has only been one death in the UK associated with AH-7921, it is believed to be extremely dangerous and capable of causing respiratory arrest and gangrene (death of body tissue).

5. Flakka

Flakka is a stimulant that is similar to chemicals such as amphetamines that are found in bath salts (a type of drug). Although initially marketed as a legal alternative to ecstasy, the effects differ significantly. Flakka users will feel an increase in heart rate, an increase in emotions, and if ingested, can cause strong hallucinations. This drug can cause permanent psychological damage, because it affects the mood-regulating neurons that keep the mind sertraline and dopamine under control. In addition, this type of drug can also cause heart failure.

4. Heroin

Invented in 1874 by C.R. Alder Wright, heroin is one of the oldest drugs in the world. At first, heroin was prescribed as a powerful painkiller for treating chronic pain and physical trauma. However, in 1971 he was declared illegal by Misuse of Drugs Act . Since then, heroin has been regarded as one of the substances that destroys society and destroys families.

Side effects of heroin include gingivitis, cold sweats, decreased immune system, muscle weakness, and insomnia. It can also damage blood vessels which can lead to gangrene if left untreated.

3. Cocaine

Cocaine first appeared in the 1980s when it became a widespread item in the world of drug trafficking. Initially, cocaine offered a very high price due to the scarcity and difficulty of producing it, but as the circulation of cocaine expanded, the price of cocaine dropped significantly. As a result, dealers form rock-like cocaine by using baking soda as a means of distilling powdered cocaine into stone form. People do this because they can sell a lower quantity of cocaine, and a higher number of consumers.

Since then cocaine has become one of the biggest "epidemics" in the world, including Indonesia. And during the peak of its popularity it was believed that there were more than 10 million residents of the United States who used cocaine. The side effects of cocaine include damage to the liver, kidneys, lungs, and permanent damage to blood vessels, which often results in heart disease, stroke and death.

2. Whoonga

Whoonga is a combination of antiretroviral drugs, which are used to treat HIV, and various cutting agents such as detergents and poisons. This drug is widely circulated in South Africa because of the high prevalence of HIV sufferers there, and the drug has gained prominence due to its low price. This drug is highly addictive and can cause major health problems such as internal bleeding, stomach ulcers, and eventually death.

1. Krokodil

Krokodil is Russia's secret opiate. The price is relatively low to make addicts interested in consuming it. Krokodil is more dangerous because it is usually a homemade drug, with ingredients including painkillers, iodine, matchstick, and industrial cleaning agents. These chemicals can make krokodil very dangerous, and are more likely to cause gangrene and putrefaction of the flesh.
