10 drugs that can kill you in minutes – This will shock you! (With Pictures)

7. Street Methadone

Methadone is typically given to opioid addicts by a doctor to help ease their withdrawal symptoms from drugs such as heroin and eventually break the addiction altogether. Street methadone is the term for methadone that isn’t supervised by doctors and is sold illegally. When given to addicts, it simply stops their withdrawal symptoms and allows them to function normally. However, it becomes very toxic if given purposely or accidentally to non-addicts. Unlike other drugs in the opioid category, it takes hours to feel its effects. So there’s no rush when a user takes it, leading them to think it’s not working and take a fatal dose to try to reach a high. It is especially dangerous when combined with alcohol or other drugs.
