Answer:
Heroin is a highly addictive opiate drug. Speedballing is where cocaine and heroin are injected simultaneously. Initially when taken, heroin creates a euphoric state for the user.
Explanation:
There are some general dangers associated with mixing drugs that have opposite mechanisms of action, such as stimulants and depressants.
Cocaine is a central nervous system stimulant, whereas heroin is an extremely powerful central nervous system depressant.
Cocaine has a much shorter half-life than heroin and is eliminated from the system much more quickly than heroin.
- The logic of mixing these drugs is to combine their effects to produce an intense feeling of euphoria that combines the euphoric effect of both drugs and at the same time to reduce the negative effects of these drugs, such as hyperactivity, sedation, irregular heartbeat, drowsiness, etc.
- In addition to their central nervous system effects, the stimulant (cocaine) activates the sympathetic nervous system (the part of the peripheral nervous system that speeds up functioning), and the depressant (heroin) activates the parasympathetic nervous system (the part of the peripheral nervous system that slows down functioning).
- However, there is an imperfect overlapping of these contrasting effects that disrupts the body’s natural tendency to maintain balance. The major issue associated with combining these two drugs is the tendency to experience overdose effects.
- By attempting to suppress the unwanted effects of the drugs, the person taking them may incorrectly believe that they are less inebriated than they really are.
- Combining these two drugs leads to the mistaken perception that the user can take more of one or both of them.
- Combining cocaine and heroin results in an individual taking more of each drug and having levels of heroin build up in the system that can be potentially fatal.
- A person under the influence of cocaine may have ingested a dangerous amount of heroin, and this could lead to an increased potential to overdose on heroin. One can also overdose on the cocaine, but the more likely effect is to overdose on heroin.
- Fatalities associated with the use of a speedball are typically due to heroin overdose, which can be fatal.
- Overdose associated with the use of a speedball typically involve significant issues with respiratory depression that can lead to brain damage.
