FDA reportedly raids manufacturer of poppers, an increasingly popular party drug

Summary

Nutrition label

73% Informative

The FDA has reportedly raided a Texas -based manufacturer of poppers, an inhalant drug.

The drug has gained increasingly mainstream popularity as an adjunct to clubbing and sexual activity.

Poppers cause an immediate and short-lasting euphoric rush along with muscle relaxation.

The FDA issued an advisory in 2021 warning consumers not to purchase or use poppers.

3.3% of American adults surveyed from 2015 to 2017 reported ever using poppers, including 35% of gay men.

Recent reports suggest poppers have recently made inroads among heterosexuals as well.

Poppers are often sold in convenience stores next to energy drinks, and are packaged such that they resemble energy drinks.
