Is Tina addictive?
Is Tina illegal?
Is Tina dangerous?
YES. Tina causes the heart to beat faster and blood pressure
to rise. This strains the heart and circulatory system. Since
the content of the drug sold varies widely, it’s difficult
to judge the size of a dose. Many guys view crystal as ‘just
another white powder’ albeit a strong one. A very little
goes a long way. It’s easy to take too much. An overdose
of crystal meth can result in high body temperature, irregular
heartbeat, nausea, seizures, heart attack, stroke and death.
The risk of overdose is highest when the drug is injected
Slamming Tina also puts the user at risk of infections from
non-sterile needles, impurities in the drug, and water used
to mix it. If needles and works are shared, risks multiply
significantly and include common bacterial infections as well
as blood born viruses like hepatitis C (HCV) and HIV.
If snorting equipment is shared, such as passing a straw
or ‘bumper’ (plastic vial with a valve), there
is the potential for similar risks of transmission as with
shared needles via damaged nasal mucous linings.
