Amyl Nitrite - Consequences

Consequences

Studies and surveys in the United States and the United Kingdom show that people who use poppers generally tend to underperform academically and are less likely to graduate from high school. Historical trends show that dropouts are more likely to end up with low-paying jobs or to become part of the welfare system. In addition, a number of studies show that people who abuse drugs are much more prone to illness, particularly viruses and other infections. Unlike other inhalants, amyl nitrite is abused primarily because it is believed to enhance sexual pleasure and performance through loss of inhibition. Users often engage in unsafe sex and are at a much greater risk for contracting sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.
