Astrox or the devil's drug

Addiction to Astrox, or the devil's drug, takes you on a short journey to death, as it is said about it. What is strange and painfully funny is that Astrox circulating in Egypt has been created from chemical materials and made from a mixture of insecticides, rat poison, and nail polish remover. On the question of what is the drug Astrox, the active ingredient in Astrox enters Egypt through herbal perfumes, in the form of a liquid that is transformed into a spray, which is sprayed on tobacco or any herbal substance such as marjoram or sage.

Astrox manufacturing materials are used to calm lions during circus performances, and it is considered a tranquilizer for bulls. There are two types of Astrox, the green one is a green-colored herb “marjoram” to which the active ingredient is added by spraying, and the second type is tobacco, to which the anesthetic is added in the same way. This is because it contains more than one highly addictive substance, such as hyoscine, atropine, hyoscyamine, and ketamine, and these substances directly control the nervous system of the addict and user. When this drug was manufactured, its purpose was to equal its effect to that of Indian hemp, marijuana, banjo, and hashish.

Taking this drug causes muscle relaxation, urine retention, increased heart rate, pupil dilation, lower blood pressure, and severe disturbances in memory and mental and intellectual abilities. The user suffers from auditory and visual hallucinations, and a coma may occur, and this may lead to death. The low price is one of the reasons for the spread of the drug Astrox in Egypt, where it decreases. Its price is compared to traditional drugs, which addicts are accustomed to taking, such as hashish and banjo, as Astrox is sold as a ready-made cigarette for circulation among several people.

They consider it an alternative to hashish, given its low price. It is common among young users to believe that Astrox increases their sexual and physical ability, and it has been scientifically proven that it leads to the collapse of sexual ability in male users, as well as public health. Of course, Astrox is like other narcotic substances, as it makes the user feel happy and temporarily euphoric, after which this feeling disappears and the user turns into an addict and begins to fall into the trap of addiction.
