“Buddha Blue” or even PTC for “fart your skull” is not a new drug but it is the first time that a case of consumption has been proven in the Hautes-Pyrénées. A 15-year-old girl attending the Institution Jeanne d’Arc in Tarbes was hospitalized after feeling unwell on Monday. She was released from the hospital the same day, with no sequelae. It was a friend who made him smoke with an electronic cigarette, because this drug is mainly consumed in liquid form that can be vaped. This teenager and his supplier, who does not come from the same school, are minors. Both have been summoned to the juvenile court.
Adverse health effects
If the first sensation sought is euphoria, the “Buddha Blue” can have adverse health effects headaches, hallucinations, vomiting, anxiety attacks, etc. For the moment, the gendarmes of Tarbes do not know exactly where this synthetic drug comes from, but it seems that the “Budda blue” is bought on the dark web, then from resellers to resellers, ends up in the hands of younger. It is very difficult for investigators to find this drug because it is colorless, odorless, and standard saliva tests cannot detect it.
