Most people associate drug abuse with the use of a few “standard” drugs only, but in fact new drugs are constantly being introduced. This paper presents information on drugs whose use by drug abusers is not well known to practitioners. The drugs and drug sources discussed are: the hallucinogenic mushroom (Psilocybe cubensis), Romilar, DMT, “STP”, Mandrax, “mellow yellow”, lighter fluid, amyl nitrite, anti‐Parkinsonian agents, and “dog ricket tablets”.
