Illegal drugs and Teens...Embalming Fluid ...

cookclan by cookclan Young Parent(March 2007) (rank 10th)
Embalming Fluid 

Yes you read the heading right...The next drug in this series is embalming fluid...This drug is made up of  formaldehyde, methanol, ethanol and other solvents. This drug is on the rise in the USA and UK so it won't be long before it is here being
used regularly and tried by some teens...If it isn't already...

The street names for this drug are...Amp, Wet, Water-Water, Crazy Eddie, Clickem, Wet-Wet, Fry Sweet, Illy, Purple Rain,  Milk, Wetdaddy...

Embalming fluid is obviously found in funeral home and morgues but it can be bought directly from chemical companies and over the internet...Hmmmm the internet again for another illegal drug...The warning on this drug is that persons should be extremely cautious because it does have the potential to cause alot of health issues...It should not be inhaled or applied directly to the skin...This is one dangerous drug...The effects from being exposed to embalming fluid are Body tissue destruction, brain damage, bronchitis, inflamation in the throat and nose, It is EXTREMELY CARCINOGENIC...

The way this is used as a drug is either cigarettes soaked in it and even marijuana soaked in it...The effects this causes have been likened to PCP...If a cigarette is soaked in this it will burn slower releasing the dangerous chemicals slower and increasing the length of the high...

Short term effects of this drug are, but not limited to these... impaired vision, headache, hallucinations, loss of consciousness, kidney damage, lung damage, pneumonia, physical violence, sleepiness, increase in women’s sexual appetites, and memory loss... Long term term effects include but are not limited to...bronchitis, coma, convulsions, fever, high blood pressure, inflammation of the throat, nose and esophagus, pneumonia, and spinal cord destruction. This drug can also mess around with puberty long term users have been known to mature only to the age they are when they first start to use this drug regularly...

I felt the needed to write about this drug as it can be another danger to our children...We need to talk to our kids about these drugs and all their dangers teach them how to say no because they do know the dangers of them...Life as a teenager can be hard and peer pressure even worse...So COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR CHILDREN it is one of our best tools we have as parents...

Have a great day
Cheers

OMG the things we have to look forward to. I just hope that my kids are not in the near future exposed and/or tempted toward this or any other drug. So far, they seem to be OK and have got a great circle of mates.

Thanks for the warning.

embalming fluid
Hi
Spose the advantage of this drug is if you die you are already partially embalmed...roll out the mummies.......Ps Why was the pharoah sad....because his daddy was a mummy......
What sort of world are our babies going to grow up into......cause it is only going to get worse......wonder who experiments with these drugs to produce them......and what are the thoughts behind them apart from profit.......we have troubles letting out kids go out as it is how can we let them go out in 10 years time????? anywhere away from attatched to our sides????
Great informative article
Luv Deb
