Use of "Snurf Pill" puts Four Highschool Students’ life in danger!

In an unfortunate incident involving Council Rock High School North students in Newton, a pink pill “Snurf” has been found to be responsible for their illness follwoing which they were admitted to the hospital. The pills were apparently purchased over internet. Police is investigating the incident.

School officials said in a press release that no other students are at risk but issued this warning: “From the information on the packaging, we understand that SNURF is an herbal supplement with mood altering properties. We strongly recommend that anyone in possession of these pills dispose of them immediately.”

According to some sources, snurf is a pill peddled as an herbal supplement that is little more than DXM.  DXM is dextromethorphan, a common ingredient in over the counter cold and cough remedies. When taken in large doses, DXM leads to a form of euphoria that is sometimes underscored by hallucinations.

Dextromethorphan has also found other uses in medicine, ranging from pain relief to psychological applications. Pure dextromethorphan occurs as a powder made up of white crystals, but it is generally administered via syrups, tablets, or lozenges manufactured under several different brand names and generic labels.

When taken at doses higher than are medically recommended, dextromethorphan acts as a dissociative hallucinogenic drug. It is classified neurochemically as an NMDA receptor antagonist, producing effects similar to those of the controlled substances ketamine and phencyclidine (PCP).

It can produce distortions of the visual field, feelings of dissociation, perceived bodily distortion, and excitement.
