While there is enough data on the internet about drug overdoses and prescription drug abuse, few know about the harmful side effects of drugs that covertly destroy vital organs, cause rapid physical decline, and ultimately turn users into zombies. In 2010, prescription opiates accounted for 60% of all overdose deaths in the US&A - in a country that spends over $ 51 billion annually on the fight against drugs. Fentanyl, a synthetic opiod that is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine, is now considered America's deadliest drug. These are just some statistics about the US&A; chemical drugs kill countless people around the world every year.

Whatever you want to call it, Burundanga, Devils's Breath or Scopolamine, it is one of the most dangerous drugs in the world. It suppresses free will, also wipes out memory, and turns out to be fatal when taken in high doses. It is a derivative of the nightshade family found in Ecuador, Colombia or Venezuela, one gram of which is able to kill 20 people. The drug is so powerful that it causes wild hallucinations and respiratory failure.

8. Methamphetamine (crystal meth)
Mexican drug cartels run a $ 20 billion industry based on the habit of 1,6 million Americans of using this addictive drug, one of the most destructive in the world. When crystal meth is smoked or sniffed, it induces a pleasant high, which is followed by euphoria, increased alertness, and increased energy.

7.AH-7921
The morphine-like analgesic effect of AH-7921, a µ-receptor opioid agonist, was determined to be several times stronger than that of codeine and 80% stronger than that of morphine. As an active ingredient in synthetic cannabis, AH-7921 mimics the toxic effects of heroin, when mixed with alcohol it can lead to coma and respiratory failure.
6. Flakka
Originally marketed as a legal high alternative to ecstasy, Flakka - made from the same amphetamine-like chemicals found in bath salts - can cause permanent psychological damage, organ failure, an increase in human body temperature to 41 ° C, hyperthermia, delirium and paranoia, as well as addicts drive them into a murderous madness. Abusive users have made the headlines by walking naked in traffic, having sex with trees, impaled themselves on fences and believing they were the devil.

2. Whoonga
Whoonga, a cheap but highly toxic and addictive drug widely available in South Africa, is added to marijuana and smoked for its relaxing and hallucinogenic properties.
