N Bomb Addiction and Abuse
N Bomb Info
What is “N-Bomb” and Why Should We Worry About It?
Synthetic drugs, otherwise known as designer drugs, are made artificially by people to mimic other natural drugs like marijuana and cocaine. Commonly known as N-Bomb, 25I-NBOMe is a strong, synthetic hallucinogen. N-Bomb is sold as an alternative drug to LSD. It is known to have the same effect as LSD even at very small doses; a dose of 750 micrograms, which is about the same size as 6 grains of salt, is considered a high dose.
N-Bomb has a metallic, bitter taste, and is often sold in liquid or powdered form. It may also be sold on soaked, blotted paper. The effects of a small amount of it can last for about 12 hours.
N-Bomb has been reported (unconfirmed) to have no effect on its users when it is swallowed, so it users often place the drugs under their tongues, inject it, inhale it, or insect it rectally, all of which are very dangerous because its potency is heavy even in small quantities and it and can easily lead to overdose.
N-Bomb often requires safety measures like gloves and gas masks when being handling because of how toxic it is. As the name suggests, N-Bomb is lethal and has had a number of deaths directly linked to it. Unfortunately, there is still a lot about it that is unknown, which may make it even more deadly than it already appears to be.
N-Bombs: What you Should Know and When to Seek Help
N-Bomb abuse comes with symptoms such as paranoia, anxiety, chills, seizures, muscle spasms, insomnia, depression, and decreased inhibition.
If you have been using N-Bomb and you have experienced any of the above symptoms, you need to seek help as soon as possible, considering that the long-term effects of N-Bomb are yet unknown.
If you are already addicted to N-Bomb, you can still seek help if you haven’t experienced any of the associated symptoms because there is no medication available yet to help with the addiction alone.
Chemical Components
First synthesized in 2003, N-Bomb is derived from phenethylamine psychedelic 2CI. It is a substitute form of phenethylamine and has methoxy groups CH30, which are attached to carbon R2 and R3, with an iodine atom attached to R4. There are several variations of the drug, but 25I-NBOMe is the most potent and abused of them all.

Risks of N-Bomb Abuse
Other than death, there are many other risks attached to using N-Bomb. They include risks of kidney and liver damage, heart attacks, mental problems, depression and anxiety.
The risks of N-Bomb abuse are greatly increased when there is an overdose or dangerous ‘trips’ and other people are not around to help.
The Illegality of N-Bomb
In most countries, N-Bomb is either illegal or a class A drug. A number of people have been convicted, and have spent time in jail, after being caught in possession of the drug, selling the drug, or handing it out.
Many manufacturers of synthetic drugs try to bypass the law by using substitutes for some of the components typically used to make them. These drugs are still technically illegal, far from the information often provided when they are advertised.
