Facts

  • Ketamine was developed in 1963 in order to replace PCP and is currently used in human anesthesia and veterinary medicine.
  • The original intention for methadone maintenance treatment was to reduce illegal heroin use and the criminal acts that are associated with heroin addiction.
  • Methadone used in opiate maintenance therapy was originally developed to help obliterate withdrawal symptoms and support a healthy lifestyle. However, the effects of withdrawal far exceed that of heroin which causes the individual to become addicted to it instead.
  • The ritual for snorting cocaine is to place a line of the drug about 0.3 cm wide by 2.5 cm long on a smooth surface. The powder is then inhaled quickly into a nostril through a plastic or glass straw or a rolled currency bill; a ritual which usually repeated within a few minutes using the other nostril.
