Is it possible to breathe glue. The best moments of life: toxicizing as a unique phenomenon of Russian culture

When I was going to write this stuff, the first thing was driven in Google: side effects From the use of glue. But at the end of the page found proposals for the search, the total content of which was reduced to one - instruction on how to smell glue. Fortunately, not each of the pages open contained detailed instructionsNevertheless, there were also such sites where it was described in detail what to do to "rushed". At the same time, the description was made so simple that even the child would understand. Actually, the children understand it, since they are, most often, become the main "clients" of such a buzz.

And if the fears of parents that the drugs are clearly false in the street, they are clearly false, because drugs are most often worthwhile, which do not have children. Even "grass" will necessarily require certain financial costs. But the glue will require only proper instructions for use. The worst thing is that the children who started receiving a buzz with the help of glue, with the most likely to go to other drugs, because the boundaries of the norm become invisible. So if you "caught" your child for the "breathing", be sure to honestly and honestly explain to him that such things can lead to. The main thing is not to scold him for it, because from this your child will not be smarter, perhaps the forbidden fruit will be sweeter, and you just do not know about his passion until you start finding it on the street without consciousness or you will not see him Vienna traces from needles.

Specialists allocate several stages of intoxication. At first, the person feels the same as with alcohol intoxication (coordination deteriorates, the person feels euphoria), and after, painfulness is dulled. On the Internet, I came across a story about how the hospital did a girl with a burn of 15% of the body of the body, but she felt pain, because it was near the "buzz" from the solvent. The fact is that after the effect of drugs goes, the pain manifests itself and a person may be in full shock from what happened to him during the time he was in, a kind of, shutting down.

At one of the forums, came across the comment: "I saw a huge number of hallucinations constantly. It happened differently: and good, and bad. Everything is good, but after a month, suspicious thoughts began to attend me. I liked me that I see the future that I can manage objects with a look. Inside me periodically appeared friend fictional. Memory began to deteriorate. It became difficult to associate words in sentences. The dose has doubled. "

Such an effect is not surprising, because the cerebral hemispheres first suffers from toxicizing, then the cerebellum, and, in the latter and the latter, is an oblong brain. If intoxication comes to an oblong brain, it can cause hallucinations or break breathing, and then possible fatal outcome. But even with rare consumption of such substances, runny nose and cough, increased overall fatigue and frequent headache will be loyal friends Toxicoman. The disease of the liver, kidney, bone marrow damage, the decrease in immunity and the emergence of leukemia are not rare companions of the drug addict. And the toxicomicians are breaking. This is especially true for children. Muscle pain, bad mood and increasing anxiety - very often it leads to suicide. Therefore, if suddenly it seems to someone with a pellery or joke, think about how many children becomes marginal polhoods, or simply die due to the indulgent attitude towards toxicizing. The biggest things start with small steps, as well as incurable dependence and broken fate - from the first packet of glue.

Tatyana Samarskaya

Teenage toxicism is serious problem For modern society, although there is an opinion that this phenomenon is much less dangerous than drug addiction. But because of its destructive impact on the body of children and adolescents, the availability of toxic substances used, mental dependence rates are a serious threat.

Among the doctors of narcologists is not accepted to separate patients on toxicomicians and drug addicts: both diseases are developing on similar principles and is subject to serious vocational treatment. Difference only in consumable preparations - toxicomes are taken by nonarcotic chemicals.

Types of toxicia

When toxicizing, a person consumes chemical compounds with a hallucinogenic and intoxicating effect. The method of introducing them into the body - through the lungs, by inhalation of vapors. Thus, the toxic connection directly affects the brain, poisoning it and causing the death of nerve cells - neurons, resulting in intoxication. With other methods of administration it chemical compound Usually too toxic or does not give a hallucinogenic effect.

There are the following types of toxicia depending on the substances consumed.

In general, when they talk about this problem, they mean toxicizing by gasoline and other easily accessible means from a group of hydrocarbons: varnishes, paints, gases.

Harm toxicia

Toxic substances cause chronic organism poisoning, mental and physical dependence develops. From the point of view of biological processes - toxicizing is no different from drug addiction. Toxicizing by gasoline, for example, its consequences are also dangerous as heroin dependence.

Irreversible brain disorders

According to statistics, a significant part of the toxicomicians - adolescents aged 10 to 16 years. They begin to consume poisoning substances, seeking new sensations. As a rule, in this occupation of children retracts an older toxicomic with experience. In the aimedity of the disease to the younger generation and is the main harm to the substance for society.

The physical danger lies in the irreversible destruction of the organic structures of the brain, violation of the work of lungs, hearts, liver and kidney, the death of adolescents from overdose. Toxicizing and its consequences have a greater social significance: the teenager has a psyche, he lags behind the peers in development, does not assimilate school Program And ceases to attend school. As a result, it closes on his disastrous habit and completely falls out of society.

To return to normal life, toxicomane cannot even in case of cure - irreversible disorders in the cerebral cortex make it disabled.

How toxicism is manifested

Externally, after the use of toxic substances is similar to intoxication from alcohol. Signs of toxicism are also similar to violations of behavior among drug addicts. There are symptoms developing as a result of the effects of poison on the body as a whole. A few days after the first sessions, the toxicomans arises runny nose, inflammation of the mucous membrane of the eyes, then bronchitis can develop. Also characteristic:

Social consequences of toxicizing are visible: a circle of communication is changed, it includes the same toxicomes or children with slow mental development. Unmotivated aggression develops, drives to the police.

How addiction is developing

When inhalation of the toxic substance, the first signs appear in 5 minutes - dizziness, noise in the ears, fog in the head. After 7-10 minutes, coordination disorder is developing. After 3 minutes, euphoria comes, nervous excitement, unrestrained fun. Then hallucinations occur within 10-15 minutes. Subjective time is stretched. Then the decline comes, and the toxicomane is inhaled by the substance again, making up to 7-8 such cycles.

Mental dependence in toxicizing may develop after 2-3 uses. The teenager seizes the desire to experience Euphoria and hallucinations again, without such sensations there is discomfort. The phase between the inhalation and the appearance of the hallucinations toxicomic forgets - easy sensations Does not remember, and Euphoria remembers. It begins to regularly inhale toxic substances, looking for means for carrying out his mania, it becomes the meaning of his life.

Physical dependence is developing slower, within 1-2 months. First, toxicomes are enough to use once every 3-4 days, then they quickly roll up to daily use. As a result, the toxic substance is accepted twice a day - in the morning and evening. For toxicizing, a rapid increase in dose is characterized - it increases 4-5 times during the month, and the state of intoxication is shortened to 1-2 hours. At the same time, the reactions of the organism on toxin weaken - the inflammatory phenomena from the mucous membranes, heartbeat and shortness of breath are less expressed.

As a result of the cessation of use, violations of the central and vegetative nervous system - Abstineent syndrome, or cancellation syndrome. It is one of the consequences of toxicizing. Drug addicts call him breaking. It develops after the cessation of inhalation of the substance and lasts until the next dose, in the event of the unavailability of the poisoning drug - for about 5 days.

Consequences of toxicia

Light cancer - the consequence of toxicizing

The disease has serious consequences as for special personalityAnd for society as a whole. As a result of the use of toxic substances, the need to experience the euphoria is developing rapidly, and due to the addiction of the body to the poisoning effect, even significant doses are already ineffective. Therefore, those from toxicomes who did not die from the effects of poison becomes drug addicts, that is, they go to the use of narcotic drugs.

For physical health, the effects of toxicing may be as follows:

• breathing burns;
• cirrhosis of the liver;
• lungs' cancer;
• the abscess of the lung and its complications are light bleeding, degeneration of light tissue, rebirth of the structure of the internal organs;
• cardiology of cardiac activity - heart attack, hypertension, heart defects;
• benign and malignant kidney tumors;
• inflammation of the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines.

Even disposable use harmful substances May cause mental addiction and drawing a teenager into a vicious circle. Toxicoman does not control their actions, removes from reality. Physical consequences of toxicizing irreversible! Even in the case of full cure on the patient's dependence, persistent violations of the brain activity appear and it becomes a mentally defective person.

Toxicizing in a modern understanding was first recorded in the United States in 1960. The police received the first alarming message about adolescents, which inhale gaseous substances, bringing themselves to narcotic intoxication. Gasoline, solvents, varnishes, paints - in essence, any household chemical fluids were suitable for such dangerous entertainment. In the USSR, the toxicism came with a small delay: even in the conditions of the "iron curtain" and the concomitant information insulation, Soviet teenagers thought to unconventional ways to use gasoline, stained fiftesers, dichlorophos and, of course, the legendary "moment" glue.

Up until the mid-1980s, the toxicism in the USSR was disseminated insignificant, and its foci was located mainly on the most outskirts and in the "dead" points of the country. Exceptions were exceptions: for example, the real epidemic of toxicizing broke out in the Baltic States in 1975 - but even it, despite the scale, was a single phenomenon and could not cause patterns. It must be said that, according to the Ministry of Health, which was led by less attentive, in contrast to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, accounting for "contingents of patients with toxiciation and drug addiction", by 1955 in the USSR only 1854 people abusing chemical and drug substances were detected in harm.

Gasoline, solvents, varnishes, paints - in essence, any household chemical fluids were suitable for such dangerous entertainment.

"If Cocaine was sold in pharmacies for twenty kopecks per gram as a means for rinsing during dental pain, it would only sniffed only punks - like this, in fact, and was at the beginning of the century. But if the "moment" glue cost a thousand dollars for the bottle, his willingly sniffed all the Moscow golden youth, and at presentations and buffets it would be elegant to spread around themselves the volatile chemical smell, complain about the death of the brain neurons and to retire in the toilet for a long time. .

Fracture

The situation of Mikhail Gorbachev's anti-alcohol company Mikhail Gorbacheva sharply changed, departed in 1985-1990 and passed under the slogan "sobriety - the norm of life." In those years, the Andropovka vodka was disappeared from the shelves (30 rubles. 70 kopecks), and its nearest equivalent was twice as expensive. Stores with alcohol closed, and the remaining alcohol from 14:00 to 19:00. In Russia, Moldova and Ukraine, the vineyards were cut down, the plants were closed (almost the legendary Massandra plant was destroyed), because of what grapes and table wines were disappeared forever - for example, the brand "Black Doctor" until recently considered permanently lost . The police control intensified: strict reprimandations, dismissal, exclusion from the party and school became a much more tangible threat than before.

Moonshine required knowledge of technical processes and equipment for the production of surrogates, and the purchase of vodka in taxi drivers - the mutual courage of both sides. Heavy drugs remained the prerogative of former prisoners or soldiers who served in Central Asia, the veterans of the Afghan campaign of 1979-1989 and chemists-enthusiasts. But the glue and plastic bag - everything that is necessary for toxic inhalation - it was possible to buy in any economic store under the pretext of "put the model of the ship". And although already in 1987, the "semi-dry law" was actually suspended, two years turned out to be enough for children from secured and large cities of the USSR to be addicted to new drugs. The Lower Volga region, Astrakhan, the individual areas of Moscow and Leningrad adopted new ways to "catch a kayf".

"Please kill me!"

"I not only smoked good grassBut also began to smell the glue, "recalls Di Di Ramon. - Glue, Tuinal and Sectional. Chel, you can't remove your head out of the package. We traveled together with Egg, my friend, because EGG was the same type. He did not use a fool, grass, acid, he liked to sniff "Carbon" (this washing liquid) and glue. Hanging glue, we started calling on the phone.

There were such numbers, there are ringing there, and strange beeps are distributed in the tube. We called, sounded "Bip-Bip-Bip-Bip-Bip", and we stuck on these sounds for hours. Then I also sniffed glue. If we did not have glue, Egg went to the supermarket, brought out a couple of cylinders with whipped cream, and we sniffed gas from there. All anything to burn, - a cure for cough, glue, tuinal, semonal. "

Acceleration

The "acceleration period" of the Gorbachev Perestroika for many children was held at slow speeds. Schoolchildren and pupils of PTU in search of new sensations chose basements, roofs and "borrowing". At first, the technique of inhalation was imperfect: the package with a toxic substance of teenagers put on their heads. Already by 1986, after 10 recorded deaths in one Leningrad (after a deep breath, the teenager was unable to pull the package from the head), the film began to apply to the face.

The episode of this death is very colorfully depicted in the film Albert Mkchtyan "Kazenny House" of 1990. There Black Pupils children's house Gamal named "Home" dies with a package on the head in an abandoned church, having hung over a pair of benzene. Closer to the end of the film in the edification of his friend who pulled his hand to the cherished canister, he will raise as a hallucination with an ominous voice and sparkling green eyes: "Remember, I dreamed of you? I called you. "

Instantly begins to form informal slang toxicomicians: "Mask" means an alternate inhalation with the nose and mouth, and the "petal" is exclusively mouth. The ritual toxicism itself is called "shabby". Teenagers "Shablyat" are already throughout the country: if in 1980 only 36 thousand drug addicts were registered throughout the USSR, then by 1987 their number, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR and the data of the researchers I.G. Ubraova and ld Miroshnichenko, exceeds the mark of 51,900 people, of which 8 thousand prefer to substance more expensive and hard-to-reach drugs.

And these are only citizens registered in narcological institutions. Noncommians and toxicomicians who were not observed in the narcologists, in 1987, 130,300 people were revealed. Narcological service for the detection of toxicomicians is knocked down, and the result of their work becomes a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR from 1987: under the age of 16 adolescents, evading voluntary treatment, are forced to undergo compulsory treatment in LVP - medical-educational profilatories for a period of six months before two years. Until 1989, sulfozin was used as a disinfectant tool in such institutions (elevated sulfur in peach oil), widely used in psychiatry for pacifier to pacifier.

Usually the formation of toxicoman "collectives" occurs at the place of residence or training - entire classes are often recorded, inhalation of glue in aphus time. In groups of toxicomicians, male floor predominates; The average statistical importance of women in the narcotic medium is 11.9%, and toxicomes are only 3%. The age category ranges in the area of \u200b\u200b12-18 years; A significant number of adolescents has an unfavorable past, many are taking into account the child's children's room. The leaders of the toxiccoman groups most often relate to unstable and epileptoid types of character, and the "Massing" consists of the most conformous adolescents.

"Once we came to the sports school on basketball, and we were collected in the conference room. And there the coach told us that five boys with whom we played in the match for the title of champions of the country among juniors Soviet UnionThe houses were found at one of them - the dead, with gas masks on the heads and with the cellophane packages attached to the hoses with the "moment" glue. On the street was 1985. We were 13 years old. We were all from good families. It was a terrible moment. Our whole team was sitting in complete silence and in full shock from the heard news. Only icy goosers ran around my skin, and it became extremely not in itself. "

Effect

What does the toxicoman observe? The character of hallucinations may depend on the substance. So from acetone, according to toxicomicians, the hallucinations of sexual content occur more often. The 10-minute inhalation of gasoline vapor (benzene, xylene, toluene) contributes to the occurrence of frightening visual and auditory hallucinations based on previous experiences - books, pioneer agricultural scary and films. Euphoria passes after 15-30 minutes, and a stunned teenager returns to reality combined with headache, lethargy, irritability and nausea. Repeated inhalation contributes to the development of delirium - monsters and monsters, cosmic flights and battles with hell are returned again.

The bikes that, under the influence of gasoline evaporation, adolescents jumped out the window, fleeing from a hidden threat, are probably exaggerated. Even despite the adventure character of hallucinations that have received a "dose" toxicomicians too slow down to run somewhere and even more so jump. More truthfully sounds about fires and burns: in them young toxicomicians tried to smoke, without flushing from her face and hand combustible spots. The popularity of gasoline in Toxicomians was also in the fact that for its prey did not needed neither money nor theft with hacking - it is enough to merge a glass of fuel from the parked "Muscovite".

And yet, the king of toxic inhalants for almost 20 years the "moment" glue remained. Rebuilt under license from the German company "Henkel" in 1979, "moment" immediately deserved recognition not only in workers and housewives, but also from "difficult" adolescents. It is the "moment" it is destined to be associated with "watching cartoons" - that is, euphoric hallucination.

For a harmless slang title, obviously, the so-called "Lerua Syndrome" was hidden (another name - "Liliputal hallucinations"), which consists in observing non-existent small creatures against the background of the usual dimensions of the environment. According to different versions, the manifestation of Lerua syndrome can contribute to both intoxication psychosis and the defeat of the temporal fractions and the olfactory brain. In 1998, Toluol was excluded from the "moment" glue, which ensured the proper effect during inhalation.

Toxicism exists for more than a hundred years and acquires the nature of the epidemic. That is why it is so important to explain to teenagers, which will be, if you sniff gasoline and other poisonous substances.

Toxicomia: What is it?

Under toxicomicia means mental and physical dependence of a person from toxic (i.e. poisonous) substances. From a medical point of view, it does not differ from drug addiction. Differentiation takes place only at the legislative level: the patient is recognized by the addict only if it consumes any substance from the official list of narcotic substances.

The very phenomenon of toxicing became known at the beginning of the last century primarily in the medium of medical workers. The ether, which was used for the anesthesia of patients, led to a strong dependence of doctors and nurses, which inhaded this substance almost constantly.

After the abuse of harmful substances began its distribution in the Wednesday of Bohemia. Popular pop and rock performers often sinned by the use of ether to improve vocal data. This practice immediately affected health.

By the beginning of the current century, the abuse of toxic substances has gained impaired popularity among young people. Among the causes of the epidemic:

1. Negligent attitude to their health, the idea that any dependency is healing;
2. Desire to try everything, because "Life is one";
3. Removing yourself with an original person who needs unusual leisure;
4. Influence on the part of peers;
5. Flight from problems real life. Drugs act as a kind of "antidepressant".

In this video, the toxicoman Alesha sniffs glue, look at what extent he degraded as a person:

What sniffing drug addicts?

There are many classifications of volatile substances that serve as a cause of toxicological dependence. Consider some of them.

The typology of harmful substances by product category is widespread. Within its framework allocate:

• Solvents- volatile substances of industrial and domestic purposes, which are used as drugs;
• Gaseous substances - nitrogen nitrogen, propellants (there is in a lacquer for hair), chlorofluorocarbons;
• Medical anesthetics - Among them is the most popular diethyl ether, intoxication of which is several times stronger than alcoholic.

According to the classification of PO chemical composition Toxic substances are divided into:

• aliphatic hydrocarbons (propane, butane, petroleum products: gasoline and kerosene);
• aromatic hydrocarbons (xylene and toluene);
• ketones (mainly acetone, which is used in liquids to remove nail polish);
• halogens (hydrofluorocarbons, chlorofluorocarbons, trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, chloroform).

Signs of toxicia

Pampering with poisonous substances very quickly goes into a rather severe disease. Among his first symptoms:

• The patient prefers alone to eat harmful substances;
• Increase in the size of the dose;
• Transition to daily "approaches" inhalation of toxins;
• An unusually rigid response against those who are trying to interrupt the inhalation process.

For foreign people, especially for parents, it is imperative to know external signs of toxicomica:

1. Specifically smells of clothing and teenager skin;
2. The pockets found tubes from under glue or rags, strongly smelling with solvent or gasoline;
3. Burns on the skin, rash, redness of obscure nature;
4. Falling interest in food;
5. Cough;
6. Reluctance to communicate with parents;
7. Difficultically distinguishable.

What will happen if you sniff glue?

Narcotic popularity One of the brands of glue "moment" acquired in the 80s of the XX century. The consequences for the dependent were very deplorable:

• headache;
• damage to respiratory tract;
• hallucinations;
• apathy;
• in some cases, increased aggression.

Unlike the "traditional" drugs, the evaporation of glue falls into the body very quickly, bypassing the circulatory system. As a result, the effect of intoxication is achieved almost instantly.

In order to protect adolescents from detrimental dependencies, the government of developed countries introduces a number of prohibitive measures. In 38 of 50 US states, the sale of instant adhesives of minors is prohibited. In the rest of the subjects, the teenager will not be able to purchase glue, if it does not specify a reliable reason for the purchase. For violation of laws, sellers may threaten different kinds Punishment - from a fine of 1000 dollars to imprisonment.

What will happen if you constantly sniff "star"?

In the Soviet Union, balm and ointment "Golden Star" of Vietnamese production were extremely common. In the people, the tool received the gear name "asterisk". It was used as "medicine from all diseases":

• When cold;
• Migraine;
• Bee bites and OS;
• As an painful;
• In the treatment of allergic runny nose, etc.

The composition of Ointment included aroma oils, including clove, mint and eucalyptus. Thanks to this composition, the "asterisk" became one of the toxicomic substances. However, the consequences of such a habit quickly make themselves known: when inhalation of Mazi vapors begins, the lesion of the mucous membrane begins, which leads to the strongest allergic reaction.

The scale of the abuse of the "asterisk" practically stopped with the collapse of the USSR. In 1986, 4 million units of goods were imported into our country, but then the sales collapse began. Now, this balm is sold in small amounts at prices, several times launched by Vietnamese.

Inhalation of gasoline vapor

The palm of the championship in toxicomicians holds gasoline. The secret of this is quite simple: in industrial developed countries A car owns almost every family, because of what children can without much difficulty gain access to fuel. In addition, there are no age restrictions on selling gasoline to the hands of adolescents.

Most often, children to reach the state of intoxication use a moistened flammable rag or even a whole vessel. As a rule, it is enough of several minutes of inhalation, after which the following reactions occur in the body:

• The upper respiratory tract is irritated, the sign of what is cough and tickling in the throat and the nasopharynk;
• Blood inflow to face skin;
• Redness of the protein shell eye;
• Violation of speech: drug addict is not able to tie two words;
• Difficulties in orientation in space.

Damage to health from gasoline is applied irreparable:

• Lead poisoning;
• Respiratory depression with a threat to life;
• Congenital disability of children born from parents-toxicomicians;
• Often the dependent is given by the lots of drugs in the state of narcotic intoxication.

So, now you know what will happen if the smelting gasoline - the consequences for the body are catastrophic, up to the fall of intelligence and injury of the nervous system. Children toxicomic will be suffering. By level of health damage This fuel can give odds to any drug.

Video: How toxicomicians live

In this video, Naklog Anton Izmailov will show what is happening with those who sniffs gasoline or glue:

What is volatile substances?

Toxicoman - "Nyukhach" is the one who intoxicates itself with the so-called "volatile drugs" (or LNV). These substances unites the ability to quickly evaporate and turn into gas at normal room temperature. It is gaseous pairs that are deeply inhaled into light toxicomes. The volatile substances are in different chemical and technical preparations, such as solvents for paints, gasoline, trichloroethylene, acetone, combustible gas in cylinders and gas for lighters.

What happens in the body?

Volatile drugs unites their ability to dissolve fats well. Gas for lighters, solvents or gasoline are well dissolved fats and therefore violate the operation of all cells of the central nervous system (which contains a large amount of fats). For this reason, when inhalation, LNV is inhalation, a person feels intoxication.

It is because of the ability to dissolve LNV fats so widely used both in industry and in household. However, these are their properties in themselves the danger to human health. The fact is that when inhalation, solvents fall into the lungs, and from there Through the thin walls of the alveoli - in blood. Substances are absorbed by blood and with its current quickly fall into the brain. That is, in the brain they do directly bypassing the liver or other organs. Therefore, intoxication comes faster than in the case of alcohol intake. The basic amount of volatile exhaust with air. The remaining part, which with blood spread through the body, then enters the liver and splits into smaller molecules and after that it is released with urine and feces. Many LVLs only in a few days are completely derived from the body. In some cases, splitting products (so-called metabolites) are even more dangerous than the substance itself. This, for example, concerns such a substance as styrene that is part of household chemicals. Since different LVLs have an unequal degree of solubility in the blood and tissues, they penetrate the blood from the lungs in different ways, are distributed in the body and are derived from it.

Since most LVV soluble in fats, they are able to accumulate in body fat tissues. This means that a lot of time can pass before the body is completely free from the "Durana". Experiments with styrene show that if a person inhales air for two hours with a styrene concentration of 210 milligrams per cube. The meter (which is very small, compared with the amount of substance that inhale toxicomicians), then for 22 hours, the content of styrene in the body remains unchanged.

The ability of LNV accumulates in fats also means that they remain in numerous fat-containing tissues of the brain and nerve endings.

Intoxication

When inhaling gaseous vapors of LNV through the lungs fall into the blood. With blood substances fall into the nervous system to be affected. As with any intoxication, the cerebral hemispheres suffers first, then the cerebellum, and the most recent place is the oblong brain. If intoxication comes to an oblong brain, it can break the breath, and then the fatal outcome is possible.

Most toxicomicians stop inhalation before this stage, because the desired intoxication occurs significantly earlier. Even before the oblong brain is raised, a person can begin nausea or vomiting. But with long-term regular abuse of toxic substance in large quantities Nausea comes not so soon. That is, the normal response of the body is dull, as a result of which nausea and vomiting appear much later. The more often a longer toxicoman uses LVV, the large areas of the brain can be poisoned without the onset of nausea.

Inxication partly causes a solvent in itself, and partly the lack of oxygen in the brain. As already mentioned, it comes very quickly and also quickly disappears. As a rule, intoxication lasts 10-30 minutes, and an hour later, nothing is unnoticed. The effect may be longer if used high poison concentrations - for example, with polyethylene bag Or "catch up", additionally, inhaling LVN after a certain period of time.

Three stages

When inhalation of toxic substances, three stages of intoxication can be distinguished. The first effects resemble alcoholic intoxication: the coordination of movements deteriorates, the reaction slows down, reflexes weaken, and the person feels something like Euphoria (and may become aggressive). Toxicoman can be difficult to lead their actions, and when intoxication passes, let's let and headache.

In the next stage, if you continue inhalation, pains are dulling. That is why the ether and similar drugs were used in surgery as a means for anesthesia. The skin becomes insensitive to pain. One girl entered the hospital with a burn of 15 percent of the body surface, but did not feel pain under the action of the solvent. But when intoxication passes, pain is manifested.

Burns are one of the most painful injuries that can be obtained at all. Patientness to pain is sometimes used as evidence that one or another teenager "his" in the company where the LVV in honor. It happens that adolescents with the help of a burning cigarette themselves made themselves burns in their arms as a secret sign "Dedication to the Circle of Favorites" and the testimony for the rest of the guys that they are together.

The fact that the guy can with the goodwill to withstand pain from burn serves as evidence that he is already a drug addict with experience, also experienced and shares the views of other members of the company. In the circles of toxicomicians, "tests" and other kind are possible - for example, scratches and knife cuts on the body applied to themselves.

If the intoxication is very heavy, a person can develop a condition, almost all the signs similar to the loss of consciousness or with a room. Toxicomes, seeking to achieve this intoxication, usually choose insulated places - basements or dark parks.

Toxicomic

The degree of harm caused by inhalation of LNV depends, naturally, from which drug is used, as often, in what quantities, it happens simultaneously with the reception of other drugs and the circumstances of the use itself.

The use of all volatile substances gives complications that may have both short-term and long-term nature. Since many volatile substances, such as toluene, solvents for paints and trichloroethylene are used in the chemical industry, their harmful effects are studied in detail. In Russia, state supervision, labor protection and safety authorities publish " Sanitary norms and rules "establishing extremely permissible LVV concentrations in the air and compulsory safety measures when working with them. The prescriptions of the Swedish labor protection committee, in particular, it is indicated that long-term contact with solvents can cause dizziness, asthenia, cause brain disease and nervous system , damage to internal organs, respiratory tract, skin diseases, organs of vision, affect reproductive function, disrupt the course of pregnancy, as well as cause cancer.

Toxicomes that inhale LVL directly into the lungs, naturally exceed the established norms many times, thereby exposing themselves to emergency danger.

This is what some consequences of inhalation of volatile substances may be:

Panic attacks:

Inhalation of LNV causes Euphoria, and a person feels a peaceful, calm and satisfied. The perception of colors, sounds and light is intensified. Some it seems that they are sitting on a soft white cloud, from where you can observe different funny scenes, others think that friends around them are small fabulous figures that they can control. Other violates visual perception, and it seems to them that small insects turn into giants.

These phenomena are examples of hallucinations, that is, such states when perception is distorted, and dreams and fantasies are mixed with reality. All psychic normal people There is a protective barrier separating reality (what happens in reality) and fiction (fantasies and dreams). Like smoking hemp, the inhalation of LNV destroys this barrier, and the border between real and fiction is erased. Some believe that it is great - to get into the world of dreams for a while. But not for everyone, this meeting with a dream is pleasant. It can be very terrible. In people who are under the influence of toxic volatile substances, there are sometimes terrifying fantasies, a feeling of impending danger, fatal fear. Their consequence becomes anxiety, panic attacks or such deep depression that thoughts on suicide appear.

Accidents:

Inxication, leading to impaired muscle reflexes and feelings of equilibrium, coordination of movements, slowing the reaction and perpletion of consciousness, often becomes the cause of various types of accidents. People who are under the influence of volatile toxic substances often fall into various troubles, get injuries, become victims of road accidents, turn out to be drawn in fights, etc. Some toxicomicians arise hallucinations and it seems to them that they turn into supermen, and this may be even more dangerous.

Burns:

Many volatile substances are easily ignited. When the abuse of LNV is accompanied by smoking, burns often occur. For example, in England two identical accidents: adolescents, sitting in a car, inhaled gas for lighters. One of them tried to see, because of what gas began to fire, remaining around the lips and hands, which led to heavy burns.

Suffocation:

In some cases, intoxication can lead to loss of consciousness, and in the worst - to violating the operation of the respiratory center of the brain, which is developing a suffocation. Choosing Sometimes it also occurs because during vomiting in the throat, dumping masses may fall.

Especially dangerous "sniff" gas for lighters. Going out of the cylinder, it expands and cools. When the cold gas enters the respiratory tract, the body reacts to the release of fluid into the lungs (the so-called "swelling of the lungs"). From him, a person can die, choking, as if he was sinking.

Syndrome of a sudden reflex stop of breathing:

Another reason for deaths is that scientific It is called the syndrome of a sudden reflex stop of breathing, and it can develop immediately after inhalation of volatile substances or during the breath. When inhalation of LNV, a lot of adrenaline and other stress hormones stand out in the blood, which in turn causes heart overload.

Along with this, the center of the brain suffers from the volatile substances, which is responsible for the regulation of the work of the heart, and thus, the violations of the heart are aggravated. If anxairene simultaneously with the use of LNV is subjected to strong emotional or physical Loads (in which it is thrown into the blood additional amount stressful hormones), the heart can stop and occurs the sustainable death caused by toxic poisoning.

Complications manifested over time

The longer the abuse of volatile substances, that, accordingly, more risk of developing adverse effects. Long-term toxicism can cause liver and kidney diseases. Some solvents, such as benzene, affect bone marrow fabrics producing blood cells, which leads to a decrease in immunity, as well as to the occurrence of leukemia ("Belokrovia") - a deadly disease of blood.

Non-satellites of toxicizing - runny nose, cough and sore throat, as well as increased overall fatigue (or asthenia) and frequent headache. But for others - families and friends - even more noticeable is that the toxicomane is gradually changing as a person. He or she becomes a "other person," more irritable, disturbing, scattered and depressed. The changes in the character are partially caused by the poisoning of volatile substances, and partly a change in the life situation due to drugs. It was possible to prove that people for a long time having contact with LNV suffer from serious brain diseases. In addition, the risk of brain disorders is a large - for example, encephalopathy, which is expressed in the reduction of intelligence, violating memory for current events, inability to control their feelings.

But changes in the character may also be a consequence of the fact that the life situation of the toxicomic is worsening.

Regular use of drugs inevitably leads to the emergence of various kinds of conflicts. Problems appear in school, teachers constantly cause parents who, in turn, begin to worry more and more. Friends of the toxicoman face him, and the whole life is filled with false, conflicts and uncertainty.

Toxicism impedes normal development

Teens are more sensitive to toxic substances, and drugs affect them stronger than adults. The teenager brain and other organs are not yet fully formed. In addition, the teenager is not sufficiently mature personality is at the crossroads of the two worlds - children's and adult. Transitional age is sometimes referred to as a "small revolution" in a person's life. Simultaneously with a quick physical transformation, similar changes occur in the character and in the spiritual world of the person. Inner world Teenager, while he is in search of his own "I", extremely fragile. Find your own "me" - it means to determine for myself, "Who am I", to gain an understanding of myself as a permanent pressure constant, and not changing depending on the situation. To achieve this internal stability, the teenager needs to be released from under parental care. Under liberation, of course, it is not a complete departure from the parents, but only liberation from child dependence and the transition to the "adult type" of relations with parents and other people.

Teenager should also develop socially.

Communicating with other adults, getting education, and then work, it is necessary to find its social role in society.

The teenager is right in the center of all these "tasks of development." Most transition period is not easy. They feel somehow uncertain, everything causes irritation, apathy, and maybe alarm. The lack of self-confidence causes a feeling of mental instability. Almost all adolescents suffer from this imbalance in their own personality and believe that this is a difficult period in life.

Also for this reason should be stayed away from drugs. Toxicizing and addiction in general make us perceive reality in distorted form. The state of intoxication penshes the feeling of uncertainty, the feeling of guilt and longing. At that moment, when life around seems a bit difficult, it attracts. But all this is only an illusion.

Inxication can be represented as "liberation" from painful phenomena of adolescent development, and therefore there is a risk of "gathering" on drugs. Appears deceptive feelingAs if the solution to the problem was found, but in fact, if you begin to "sniff" or take other drugs, the development of the personality stops. Dreams revealing activity, stubbornness and aggressiveness, characteristic of a teenage period of ripening. If development stops, then the person remains infantile, helpless, fully dependent on others.

LVB abuse can cause dependence

Euphoria, initially felt inxicated, after some time it may seem insufficient. The volatile substances begin to grow more and more thoughts and feelings and in the end, even if the person himself does not notice, the attraction appears to achieve everything more than intoxication. Then the toxicism becomes a problem. A person is not able to perceive the reality of what it is. He "Need" to see her distorted, what it appears in the illusions arising when the brain is amazed by drugs. Dependence in the abuse of volatile substances is usually mental (i.e. representing a more or less strong "internal need"), but physical dependence may occur.

Regular use of LVV can cause the development of tolerance at which the toxicoman needs all higher doses to achieve such intoxication, as before. Increasing tolerance means that the body is trying to adapt, "get used to" to the toxic substance.
