Teens using pacifiers, VapoRub, masks as drug paraphernalia
Recently, a few local middle school students were seen carrying pacifiers at school. Police urge parents to keep an eye out for this and other unusual drug paraphernalia.
"Parents should be on the lookout for standard drug paraphernalia like bongs and pipes, but also other items like pacifiers or glow sticks that are part of the rave or club drug culture," said Sgt. Amy Bonney with the Community Section of the Prescott Police Department. "Pacifiers are definitely associated with rave or club drugs like ecstasy, and teens use the pacifier to prevent the bruxism, or grinding of teeth, that comes from using the drugs."
Raves are all-night dance parties which often feature club drugs like MDMA (also known as ecstasy), ketamine GHB, Rohypnol and LSD, according to the website titled "Parents: The Anti-Drug" at www.theantidrug.com/ei/trends_raves.asp.
With Halloween coming up, many kids may have glow sticks for a number of reasons, Bonney said, but if you find them consistently throughout the year, it may be a cause for concern.
Visual images from waving glow sticks are enhanced when people are high on ecstasy, according to the Narconon of Southern California website at www.addictionca.com/signs-of-ecstasy-use.htm.
Bonney said parents should also keep an eye out for Vick's VapoRub and dust masks.
"They'll put the Vick's VapoRub on their face and use a dust mask to enhance the feeling they get from inhaling the VapoRub," Bonney said.
Fumes from eucalyptus and menthol are intensified by the ecstasy high, resulting in a pleasurable sensation, according to the Narconon of Southern California website.
Parents can go online to educate themselves at the websites mentioned previously and The Partnership for a Drug-Free America - Arizona Chapter at http://drugfreeaz.org/, MATForce at www.matforce.org, Focus Adolescent Services at www.focusas.com/Ecstasy.html, the Family Guide to Keeping Youth Mentally Healthy and Drug-Free at family.samhsa.gov and the National Institute on Drug Abuse's NIDA for Teens at teens.drugabuse.gov/mom/index.php.
Then they can calmly share their concerns with their child, look at what they found online together, and discuss the issue, Bonney said.
If parents have questions or concerns they can also call Sgt. Bonney at (928) 777-1962.

Good job on figuring this out 15 yrs later...I used to go to the Military suplus store to get Chemlights, and they would ask what i was doing, so i told them. Antidrug militants FTL!!! I can proudly say i never did the pacifer or the kandi stuff. Just Vicks and my glowsticks.

epic late.... i remember the first few rolls i did i used a pacifier. then after a few years i started rolling again and didn't see them as much. people were just using gum but at raves and what not i still saw the pacifiers. i kinda miss them. it was a big part of the scene i participated in, still is somewhat. and the glowsticks part. i thought this was common knowledge. one year i got an electric glowstick for christmas and i was like WTF!!!! you say you dont want me doing drugs yet you give me a glowstick like this. i still have it. its done some pretty good shows. might buy a few more now that i have some $ i guess they still unno about candy braceletts...btw.....

I prefer pacifiers to gum. Actually, as long as ur conscious of it, it's easy to not grind ur teeth. But pacifiers work well cuz you can chew the fuck outa them for days

The irony here is that Narconon is owned by Scientology and used to recruit people. Scientology is far more dangerous than ecstasy.
