Facts

Methadone is a habit-forming drug. Community leaders often fight against having methadone clinics in their neighborhoods because the clinics attract drug abusers who may have committed criminal acts. Anyone considering experimentation with methadone should keep in mind that those who really need the drug have very difficult lives with extremely challenging mental or physical illnesses.
Amyl nitrite is a volatile, oily liquid with a sweet, banana-like odor. It is sold by prescription in glass ampules for the treatment of angina pectoris, chest pain caused by the narrowing of vessels in the heart. When the glass ampules are broken, they "pop"; hence they are sometimes called "poppers." Amyl nitrite relaxes the vessels of the heart by relaxing the muscles of the veins as well as all other smooth muscles in the body. When the veins throughout the body dilate, blood pressure falls. Because a minimum blood pressure is required to maintain blood supply to vital organs such as the brain, a reflex protects the brain by increasing heart rate and blood flow. This produces a "rush" as the heart pounds, and there is a throbbing sensation in the head. Users also experience a warm flush as the blood accumulates near the skin because of the dilation of veins. Vision also may "redden" as the retinal vessels dilate. The user may faint if the heart cannot maintain blood flow to the brain. If this occurs, the user falls to the floor, and blood flows to the brain, restoring consciousness. Use in a situation where it is impossible to become horizontal may result in brain damage.
