Vodka Eyeballing

What exactly IS Vodka Eyeballing?

       Vodka Eyeballing is a new trend that started not too long ago. The name basically says it all: You pour vodka into your eyeball. People say that it gets them "drunker, quicker."

      Doctors have studied this theory and have come to the conclusion that alcohol isn't absorbed any quicker through the eye than if you were to pour it down your throat.

       As you can imagine, the pain of pouring is alcohol into your eye is very intense. Dr. Richard Rosen of New York Eye and Ear Infirmary said that "it's like using paint stripper on the surface of your eye." It is unhealthy in so many different ways. It can burn and scar the cornea and it makes your eye very vulnerable to infection. If done enough times, or if enough is poured into your eye, Vodka Eyeballing can lead to blindness.

Molly, the "Pure" Ecstasy

      Molly. A name that sounds sweet and innocent, until you see it through the eyes of a drug abuser.

    Molly is known as a pure form of Ecstasy, because it is the same basic drug but without any other ingredients mixed in. This drug comes in a capsule filled with white powder, and is frequently mistaken for other drugs.

    Molly is unhealthy and unsafe in so many ways. It can cause the brain to artificially produce serotonin and dopamine, which alter consciousness, perception of surroundings and mood. It gives you a false sense of calm, lowered anxiety levels and a skewed view of the world around you. Molly can cause high blood pressure, sweating, insomnia, nausea andu uncontrollable teeth grinding.
   
  After taking Molly, the user faces a high risk of hyperthermia and hyponatremia, a lack of balance between water and sodium in the body. If this happens, it could lead to immediate death.
  
    So although "Molly" may look like an innocent little pill that makes you feel calm, it is a death trap in a pill.
