    New party drug hits Indian cities
  • A new psychotropic drug has been making an appearance at parties in the city of Bangalore.

    The new drug, called NBOMe, is rumoured to be similar to another potent party drug called LSD, and is believed to be harmful enough to catch the eye of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB).

    NBOMe has already claimed a lot of lives of youngsters in the west.

    Credits:
  • NBOMe, the newest drug, also known as 'N-Bomb', looks a lot like the psychedelic drug LSD as it's sold on blotter paper and not swallowed/snorted.

    It gets its nickname by shortening its scientific form of N-methoxybenzyl.

    Consuming the drug reportedly leads to bizarre behaviour such as running into moving traffic or other fixed objects like trees, jumping from buildings, cardiac arrest and more.

  • Details

    Multiple deaths; mass overdoses

    Multiple deaths; mass overdoses
  • N-Bomb has been a massive problem in Europe and North America over the last seven years and showed up in Australia three years ago.

    Over the last month, an Australian footballer died after mistaking it for LSD and over 20 people overdosed on it in Gold Coast, Australia.

    In 2013, the death of three teenagers was reportedly due to use of NBOMe.

    NBOMe has already claimed a lot of lives of youngsters in the west.

  • Information

    What is LSD?

  • LSD is one of the most potent mood-changing chemicals. It's derived from the poisonous ergot fungus, a type of mold that grows on certain grains. Its effects can be unpredictable and a tiny amount make a user hallucinate for 12 hours or more.

  • Comparison

    NBOMe and LSD

  • Blot strips with NBOMe are placed on or under the tongue; narcotics are absorbed into the system and induce hallucinogenic effects.

    NBOMe although much cheaper to process than LSD, its hallucinogenic effects are similar to LSD.

    Consumers are tricked into buying NBOMe allowing drug-pushers to make huge profits.

    One dose of LSD sells for Rs2,000 whereas preparing one dose of NBOMe costs merely Rs300.

  • How

    Cracking down on NBOMe

    Cracking down on NBOMe
  • In February 2016, NCB intercepted an international courier to Saudi Arabia and found massive quantities of NBOMe.

    The NCB however couldn't charge anyone as NBOMe wasn't on the list of banned narcotic-substances.

    NCB's relentless surveillance on NBOMe led to it finally being listed under banned substances.

    Security agencies believe NBOMe peddlers are closely linked to drug syndicates in Goa and Maharashtra.

  • Quote

    NCB Director's Statement

  • "We are closely tracking the NBOMe situation in the city. We will not be in a position to divulge much operational details. We are focusing on the party circuits here and stern action will be taken against those responsible for promoting and selling narcotic substances."
