Abstract

It is a well-known fact that substance users have used different innovative techniques and routes of administration for consumption of conventional psychoactive substances to get high. However, reports of using unconventional substances to get high are rare and puzzling for addiction specialists. There are hardly any scientific publications on psychoactive properties of such unconventional substances. We present a rare case of opioid-dependent syndrome, who also reported using tail of Indian wall lizard to get high.
