Just say no ineffective in winning war against drugs and latest craze,the N-Bomb

 25i compound

Just say no isn't working. This favorite phrase of the 1980's was part of President Ronald Reagan's program to rid the nation of drugs. It was an often heard phrase, part of a widespread campaign, launched by former First Lady, Nancy Reagan. But drugs are proliferating, with the latest called 25i, a substance that is described as LSD-like and that can create serious problems for users, as occurred with two adolescents in Sherwood, Oregon.

The Oregonian reported two teenage girls had been given the drug 25ialso referred to as N-Bomb, by a young man and were observed having seizures on the side of a road by a police officer in Sherwood. Sherwood is part of the greater Portland suburban area.

This newest drug to hit the streets has been labeled a Schedule I drug by the Drug Enforcement Division. Such a drug is defined as having an imminent threat to public safety. This one is labeled as a threat because it can cause serious health consequences that include agitation, seizures, hypertension, aggression, visual and auditory hallucinations, elevated white cell count, acute kidney injury and even death.

America has a particular style of drug use in that it crosses all cultures, ages, races and income levels. Much of this widespread drug use has happened as a consequence of the particular trend and national cultural climate at the time, that sparks a certain type of drug to become popular, or a variety of drugs to be in vogue. Experts tell us that young people turn to marijuana and LSD to explore their minds and perhaps change the minds of other people as well, which may be the reason for 25i's new popularity .

The country is losing the war on drugs, that Reagan once referred to as the nation's worst enemy, having taken its recent victim, Philip Seymour Hoffman, the great actor, found with 70 bags of heroin and various prescription pills at his home, dead from a drug overdose, unable to just say no.
