What is the drug Nyaope?

Nyaope, also known as Whoonga, is a cheap cocktail drug in South Africa. A cocktail drug is a mixture of substances, both addictive and filler, to make it cheaper. This has allowed Nyaope to become a widespread and dangerous street drug in South Africa.

Users can smoke or inject nyaope. There are two ways this drug can be smoked: in a heated glass pipe or a rolled joint. Both methods can lead to severe side effects like infections, respiratory issues and disease.

What does Nyaope look and smell like?

Nyaope is a mixture of addictive substances, primarily heroin and marijuana. This makes nyaope look like dried, green plant matter mixed with white powder. It is often ground up, giving it a brown powder form. Heroin is an odourless substance, which means nyaope will smell like marijuana, musky, earthy and skunky.

This cocktail is often “cut” with other substances; however, many reports of what these ingredients have debated whether they have been in use on the streets or not. The most common ingredient to cut nyaope with is antiretroviral drugs, which are used to treat HIV, leading to shortages for people in need. Other cutting agents could be caffeine and phenacetin. Some extreme reports claim rat poison, household detergents, ammonia, and chlorine have also been used in the mixture.

It’s because of this uncertainty that makes nyaope such a dangerous drug. You don’t know what could be in there. There could be dangerous or lethal doses of substances to make it cheaper or more effective.

The side effects and symptoms of Nyaope use.

The side effects of nyaope happen almost immediately, with a rush of euphoria. This feeling can be followed by any number of side effects, depending on what the drug is cut with and how the user’s body responds to the cocktail.

More serious side effects that occur include internal bleeding, stomach ulcers, and death. Every use of Nyaope risks the user’s life because it could be mixed and cut in any way.

What is the meaning of the word Nyaope?

The word is pronounced nai-oh-pee. The meaning behind the word nyaope is mixture, referring to the drug cocktail of heroin and marijuana. It’s a uniquely South African name for this combination and originates from township areas in Pretoria.
