- Highly addictive opioid that quickly produces physical dependence and intense cravings.
- Can cause slowed or stopped breathing (respiratory depression) leading to overdose and death.
- Injection use raises the risk of infections (HIV, hepatitis, bacterial infections) and collapsed veins; long-term use damages organs (liver, kidneys) and overall health.

- Methamphetamine (meth)
- Powerful stimulant that increases heart rate and blood pressure, raising the risk of heart attack, stroke, and sudden death.
