Recently, a drug called dextromethorphan has attracted a lot of attention among young people. The young men were hyperactive as a result of an overdose of dextromethorphan, and one of them even lost his cognitive abilities and was taken to the hospital for treatment. Dextromethorphan is a prescription drug that has a similar mechanism of action to morphine, and when taken in large amounts, it can produce feelings of euphoria and drunkenness, and can even be fatal. However, despite the fact that the drug is listed as a prescription drug and banned from online retail, it is still easily accessible to young people.
According to the young netizens who discussed and shared their experiences on social platforms, they are full of curiosity and pursuit of dextromethorphan. Some people shared their experiences and feelings about taking drugs, and some even asked to buy or resell excess dextromethorphan. These behaviours have raised public concerns about substance abuse among adolescents.
Dextromethorphan is a prescription drug, and its abuse can have serious consequences. However, the investigation found that some offline pharmacies violated the rules** of the drug, and patients could buy it without a prescription and identification information. In addition, online sales have also become a hotbed of drug abuse, and some "micro-businesses" have even participated in it. This has raised concerns about the lack of regulation.
"The abuse of dextromethorphan is worrying," one expert said. Although the drug is listed as a prescription drug and banned from online sales, it is still easily accessible to young people. We need to establish a long-term regulatory mechanism and step up the crackdown on illegal pharmacies and online sales. ”
According to the data of the State Food and Drug Administration, China is one of the countries with the most controlled drugs and the strictest control in the world, and has already established a nationwide drug abuse monitoring system. However, there are still problems such as lack of supervision and insufficient resources when it comes to substance abuse among adolescents.
According to one psychologist, "Teenage substance abuse is often driven by curiosity, being influenced by others, or escapism. These young people need to seek help in a timely manner rather than relying on individual strength to withdraw. At the same time, parents should also strengthen communication and care with their children to prevent the occurrence of drug addiction. ”
The abuse of dextromethorphan has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. Experts are calling for stronger regulation of illegal pharmacies and online sales, and more resources for drug addicts. In addition, there is a need for greater public awareness and concern about the problem of drug abuse among young people.
Drug abuse among adolescents has become a serious social problem, which needs to be addressed and solved in an all-round and multi-layered manner. In addition to strengthening regulation and providing more resources, there is a need to strengthen family and school education to prevent substance abuse among adolescents.
Readers are encouraged to comment and interact with the issue of substance abuse among adolescents and share their views and experiences to broaden the awareness and impact of the issue. Only by working together can we protect the healthy growth of young people.
