The so-called Gray Death is a lethal drug that is gaining increasing acceptance in the United States. It is a substance made from several opiates with a level of effectiveness far superior to any other toxic substance. Just one use can cause an overdose and death.
Gray Death, a Lethal Drug
With an appearance similar to that of a stone, this drug is composed of several psychoactive substances. Primarily, heroin, fentanyl, the opioid U-47700, and carfentanil. However, its composition is subject to variations. There are cases in which Gray Death includes other ingredients, such as cocaine.
The combination of a large number of chemical substances creates a result much more potent than a traditional drug. Being a synthetic mixture of several toxic elements, it is extremely harmful to the body.
One of its most harmful components is Carfentanil, a sedative commonly used on elephants. Although it is also taken separately, its incorporation into this drug gives it a much more potent effect. According to several scientific studies, this substance is 100 times stronger than Fentanyl and 10,000 times stronger than taking morphine.
How Gray Death Is Taken
This highly volatile drug has raised all alarms due to its easy access and the high mortality rate it can cause. Its consumption can be carried out in several ways, all with a fatal result in most cases:
- By injection
- Orally
- In tobacco form
- By snorting
- By absorption through the skin
Effects of Gray Death
The effectiveness of this lethal drug makes its list of consequences derived from consumption very brief. In most cases, it causes a highly toxic overdose that almost always ends in the individual’s death. In situations where it is not fatal, all organs, as well as the general functioning of the body, are severely damaged.
Its most immediate danger is that it is a substance that can be absorbed through the skin. Therefore, the slightest contact with Gray Death produces the same effects as its ingestion.
Although the presence of Gray Death has grown in Eastern Europe, in Spain there is still no record of victims due to this new toxic substance.
