half the potency of cocaine. It is often abused as a legal substitute
for cocaine. The drug is administered intravenously or nasally, because
ingestion would lead to rapid hydrolyzation.Its positive effects are
euphoria, stimulation, increased talkativeness and mood lift.However,
because dimethocaine acts similar as cocaine, it has comparable negative
side effects. These side effects include: tachycardia, difficulty with
breathing, pain on the chest, vasoconstriction, insomnia, paranoia and
anxiety.
