E-cigarette Containing Methamphetamine: Illegal Drug Cases Uncovered in Chongqing
The Chongqing police have successfully cracked down on two drug cases involving the sale of e-cigarettes containing etizolam since October.

According to China News Network, the police in Yuzhong district have successfully cracked two consecutive drug trafficking cases involving e-cigarettes containing the substance ethyl methylphenidate, from October until now. Cigarettes and e-cigarettes containing this substance are prohibited.

 

Starting from October 1st, using dichloromethane (MT) for non-medical purposes has been officially categorized as a type II controlled substance. Illegally trafficking or consuming dichloromethane is considered a criminal offense. Drug users typically abuse dichloromethane by adding it to the tobacco in cigarettes or inhaling it through e-liquids.

 

Earlier, the Yuzhong police received a public report about someone illegally selling e-cigarettes containing "etomidate" online. Police officers captured a suspect named Ye at the entrance of a residential area in Yuzhong District, who was allegedly involved in the illegal sale of etomidate. At the scene, four etomidate e-cigarette pods and two e-cigarette cartridges were seized. Currently, Ye has been placed under criminal detention in accordance with the law, and he also faces administrative punishment for using etomidate.

 

On October 11th, the police in Yuzhong district received another public report, alleging that someone was involved in illegal trading of N-ethylamphetamine within their jurisdiction. After meticulous investigation and analysis by the police, the suspects, Mr. Li and Ms. Li, were swiftly identified and successfully apprehended on the same day. Upon interrogation, both suspects confessed to the drug trafficking charges and are currently under criminal detention in accordance with the law.

 

Methoxyflurane is a white powdery substance that is insoluble in water. It is a non-barbiturate intravenous short-acting hypnotic drug, commonly used in medical practice in two formulations: a solution and an emulsion. Due to its minimal effects on the respiratory and circulatory systems, it is frequently used as one of the drugs for anesthesia induction. In clinical settings, it is primarily used for general anesthesia induction but can also be utilized for short-term surgical anesthesia.

 

People who consume methamphetamine experience symptoms such as dizziness, unsteady stance, slurred speech, and trembling hands. In severe cases, they may faint, lose consciousness, or even die. Long-term, high-dose methamphetamine use can lead to emotional disturbances, irritability, laziness, and affect an individual's mood, thoughts, and behavior.
