Black Mamba Drug

What is Black Mamba Drug

Synthetic cannabinoids or Black mamba are human-made mind-altering chemicals (psychoactive drugs) that are either sprayed on dried, shredded plant material so they can be smoked or sold as liquids to be vaporized and inhaled in e-cigarettes and other devices.

Manufacturers sell these products in colorful foil packages and plastic bottles to attract
consumers. They market these products under a wide variety of specific brand names.
Hundreds of brands now exist, including K2, Spice, Joker, Kush, and Kronic.

These products are also known as herbal or liquid incense. These chemicals are called cannabinoids because they are similar to chemicals found in the marijuana plant. Because of this similarity, synthetic cannabinoids are sometimes misleadingly called synthetic marijuana (or fake weed), and they are often marketed as safe, legal alternatives to that drug.

In fact, they are not safe and may affect the brain much more intensely than marijuana. Their actual effects can be unpredictable and, in some cases, more dangerous or even life-threatening. Synthetic cannabinoids are part of a group of drugs called new psychoactive substances (NPS).

NPS are unregulated mind-altering substances that have become newly available on the market and are intended to produce the same effects as illegal drugs. Some of these substances may have been around for years but have reentered the market in altered chemical forms, or due to renewed popularity.

The Synthetic Drug Abuse Prevention Act is part of the FDA Safety and Innovation Act of 2012, signed into law by President Obama.  The law permanently places 26 types of synthetic cannabinoids, including Black Mamba, and cathinones into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).  It also doubled the maximum period of time that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) can administratively schedule substances under its emergency scheduling authority, from 18 to 36 months.

How Do People Take It?

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use Black Mamba Premium, a product promoted for sexual enhancement. FDA identified this product during an examination of international mail shipments.

FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Black Mamba Premium contains sildenafil, the active ingredient in the FDA-approved prescription drug Viagra, used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).

This undeclared ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Men with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates.

The most common way to use synthetic cannabinoids is to smoke the dried plant material. Users also mix the sprayed plant material with marijuana or brew it as tea. Other users buy synthetic cannabinoid products as liquids to vaporize in e-cigarettes.

What Does the Black Mamba Drug Do to You?

The health effects of using synthetic cannabinoids such as the Black Mamba drug can be unpredictable and harmful—even life-threatening. Black Mamba drugs can be toxic. As a result, people who smoke these products can react with rapid heart rate, vomiting, agitation, confusion, and hallucinations. Some have to get help from emergency medical services or in hospital emergency departments or intensive care units.

Synthetic cannabinoid products such as Black Mamba drugs are unsafe. It is hard to know what the products contain or what your reaction to them will be.

• There are no standards for making, packaging, or selling synthetic cannabinoid chemicals. That means that two packets of a brand-named product may have completely different chemicals.

• The amount of the synthetic cannabinoid chemical(s) can vary between batches or even within the same batch.

• Synthetic cannabinoid products may also be contaminated with other drugs or toxic chemicals, such as synthetic cathinones (“bath salts,” “flakka”).

How it Looks, Taste, and Smells?

In their pure form, synthetic cannabinoids are either solids or oils. They are then added to dried herbs, vegetable matter, or plant cuttings to make a smoking mixture (so that it looks more like real herbal cannabis).

The most commonly known synthetic cannabinoid is Spice.
The smoking mixtures are packaged in small, often colorful sachets with labels describing the contents as incense or herbal smoking mixture, and usually stating ‘not for human consumption.

There are many different names that were given to herbal smoking mixtures, some of the most common are listed in the ‘Also called’ section at the top of the page.

There are many different brand names for smoking mixtures, but it is not uncommon for different brands to contain the same synthetic cannabinoids.

How it Feels?

Since Black mamba drugs act like cannabis, good and bad effects are similar. Some users will feel happy and relaxed, may get giggles, feel hunger pangs and become very talkative. Others mainly feel ill or paranoid.

Because black mamba reacts more strongly with the brain’s cannabis receptors they’re more potent than natural cannabis. This means it’s easier to use too much and experience unpleasant and harmful effects.

Black Mamba drugs act like THC, the active substance in natural cannabis, but are often more potent, so it’s easier to use too much and experience unpleasant and harmful effects.

Typical effects include:

Risks and Side Effects of Black Mamba Drug

Synthetic cannabinoids may be addictive since some people have reported withdrawal symptoms after heavy use over a long time.

Experts think that the severity of these symptoms is related to how much synthetic cannabinoid is used and for how long.

Physical Health Risks

The risks of synthetic cannabinoids are similar to natural cannabis, but because synthetic cannabinoids are more potent, it is easy to use too much and experience unpleasant and harmful effects. This higher potency also means that the effects may last for longer.

Also, because many synthetic cannabinoids are new, they may have unknown effects too.

We know that there have been a number of deaths that have been associated with the use of synthetic cannabinoids such as the Black Mamba drug, either on their own or with other substances. There may also be risks from smoking the plant material itself – as occurs with tobacco and cannabis smoking.

Reported side-effects from using Black Bamba drug include:

Black Mamba Drug Addiction Treatment

It is estimated that black mamba drug users are almost five times more likely to have a heart attack in the first 60 minutes after taking the drug than at any other time during the day. In addition, prolonged drug use can have severe physical and psychological effects on you, so it is essential to seek treatment as soon as possible. Inpatient drug rehab offers intensive care that can help you get through the early stages of withdrawal promptly. 

Being weaned off (detox) from Black Mamba drugs can cause severe psychological and medical symptoms, which is another reason an inpatient drug rehab facility is the best environment for recovery. Such decisions cannot be made until you receive a full medical evaluation and consult with your team of addiction specialists. 

Only after a comprehensive history of your use of black mamba drug has been taken, as well as the use of other drugs, and taking into account, your current medical condition, can the best decision be made about treatment.
