对年轻的吸毒者来说，诱人的白色药片代表“戒毒”。它们承诺比巴比妥类药物提供的效果更“高级”上级，是一种没有阳痿或宿醉的醉酒者，一种催情体验。虽然安眠酮的这些特性--在美国的商品名为”安眠酮“，或者用街头用语来说，“安眠酮”--可能在很大程度上是虚构的，但滥用安眠酮的不良影响是真实的，就像现在到达医院急诊室和停尸房的创纪录数量的“被麻醉的”青少年一样。这些青少年因过量服用而出现危及生命的毒性，致命的人身伤害，或严重的戒断综合征，可发展为抽搐。安眠酮现在是仅次于大麻的主要滥用药物，美国缉毒局（DEA）合规与监管事务办公室主任Gene Haislip指出。他补充说，就造成伤害而言，这种药物现在在整个非洲13个主要城市的非法市场上甚至超过了海洛因和可卡因。
