Shock as flavoured condoms have become new way of getting high for young adults
Drugs are one of the main contributors to a society’s destruction, destroying communities as well as people’s lives, especially the youth, Vondigest reports.
Many individuals who are currently addicted to drugs have chosen a life that only focuses on feeding their addiction. And this has become such a worldwide problem that young people are also getting themselves involved in substance abuse.
According to reports, youth in India are now getting high for up to 10 to 20 hours by drinking flavoured liquid made from flavoured condoms. So many young people are getting involved in this now that these flavoured condoms have become high in demand and shops are unable to keep up.
OP India reported that one shop owner was surprised by the increased demand for flavoured condoms and inquired.
He asked a young man who is a regular customer at his shop. The young man reportedly told the shop owner that he regularly buys condoms to get intoxicated.
The shop owner said:
Earlier, three to four packets of condoms were sold daily. And now packs of condoms are disappearing from a store,” a shopkeeper of a medical store told the outlet.
Officials claimed that the concoction gives the students a high for almost 10 to 12 hours.
Dheeman Mandal, who works at Durgapur Divisional Hospital, located in the Indian town where this strange phenomenon is rampant, said:
Condoms contain aromatic compounds. It breaks down to form alcohol, and it is addictive. This aromatic compound is also found in dendrites glue. So many people use dendrite for addiction also.
Drinking this water can cause intoxication and addiction. If consumed repeatedly, it will negatively impact the lungs and kidneys and harm the body’s nervous system.
Long-term use of this can lead to mental abnormalities, including violent behaviour, unconsciousness, and [in some instances] even death.
Hopefully, India will deal with this trending drug abuse before it reaches a point where the young people who are using it find themselves in hospitals fighting for their lives.
