In recent years, a new drug trend has emerged called karkubi<\/strong>, although it is also nicknamed the ‘poor man’s drug’ due to its low production and sale costs. It is a psychotropic substance originating from Morocco, but it has been expanding to other countries. It broke into Spain with force during the lockdown, and the country is currently one of the main exporters of the substances used to manufacture karkubi. <\/span><\/p>\n

The capsules of this drug are known by various names, such as “cartridge,” “refill,” “red vial,” or “Guadalupe.” Its composition consists of psychotropic medications\u2014legal drugs that can be purchased in pharmacies\u2014mixed with other drugs, such as powdered hashish and a flour-based paste known as “maajun.” At CCAdicciones<\/strong><\/a>, we have a medical team that will advise you, offer you treatment, and accompany you throughout the recovery process if you need help because you are suffering from an addiction to an emerging drug<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

The origin of the poor man’s drug <\/b><\/h2>\n

Karkubi is made by mixing hashish and Rivotril<\/strong> (clonazepam). The combination of these two substances gives the ‘poor man’s drug’ a high psychotropic component. Furthermore, it is also often mixed with<\/span> alcohol or glue, adding hallucinogenic effects for the consumer.<\/span> <\/p>\n

Clonazepam is a drug that belongs to the benzodiazepine category. It affects the entire central nervous system by decreasing its activity and possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant, sedative, hypnotic, and mood-stabilizing properties. <\/span><\/p>\n

Addiction to new emerging drugs<\/b><\/h2>\n

Over time, new drugs appear on the market, which are known as <\/span>emerging drugs.<\/strong> They constitute a group of substances synthesized clandestinely. The purpose of producing these drugs is to create new substances with variations in their chemical structure\u2014that is, in their composition\u2014but which cause effects similar to those of known drugs or even stronger and more intense ones.<\/span> <\/p>\n

These types of drugs appear and disappear on the black market regularly. New drugs constantly emerge and spread rapidly among different consumers, or disappear because they have been replaced by others. <\/span><\/p>\n

When facing addiction to any drug, one must seek help from expert professionals<\/strong><\/a> in addictions because, thanks to their experience in the world of addiction, they can offer appropriate treatment for each specific situation. <\/span>In the case of addiction to a new drug trend, such as karkubi, or any other emerging drug, the need to ask for help is intensified. This is because, as these are new drugs, the effects are more unknown.<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n

Side effects of consuming this drug <\/b><\/h3>\n

As it is a relatively new drug, the effects that the new drug trend, karkubi, causes in the body regarding health or behavior are not entirely clear. Therefore, it is impossible to determine exactly what its ingestion will cause. This lack of knowledge increases its danger, and the consumer assumes risks that are still unknown. <\/span><\/p>\n

The consequences of its consumption are determined after observing various cases, although it appears to have hallucinogenic effects and psychopathic behaviors, which can drive violence and cause severe intoxication. Normally, with the consumption of new drugs, it is common to suffer intoxication due to the mixture of substances or elements that have nothing to do with human consumption. <\/span><\/p>\n

To avoid dangerous consequences, it is necessary to go to a detox center. Starting treatment is the solution to stop consuming new drugs and prevent adverse effects. <\/span><\/p>\n
