Question

CNS depressant Speed balls are combination of:

• A. Cannabis and cocaine
• B. Alcohol and chloral
• C. Heroin and cocaine
• D. Heroin and opium

Hint:

Think of the name: "Speed" refers to the stimulant (cocaine), and "ball" (as in having a ball, relaxing, or the 'down' effect) refers to the depressant (heroin). The combination produces an intense rush followed by a potent euphoric state.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Define "Speedball". "Speedball" describes a combined stimulant and depressant, often an opioid, ingested together, often by injection. The question title "CNS depressant Speed balls" is imprecise; a speedball includes both a depressant and a stimulant.

Step 2: Identify the classic combination. The typical speedball blends heroin (an opioid depressant) with cocaine (a potent stimulant).

Step 3: Evaluate the options. Option (3) accurately reflects this combination. The remaining choices are incorrect.
