Nitroglycerin Tablets [posted 8/7/98]
Question: Can nitroglycerin be categorized as a drug abuse substance? Is there any way it can be used to obtain a "high" or "stoned" effect with nitroglycerin. My only knowledge of this drug is for heart patients. My son whom I have been having trouble with recently, had some Nitrostat tablets in his pockets. I have no family or friends who need these, so they had to come from his friends or otherwise.

Answer: Low abuse potential. Also, the drug loses its potency when kept at body heat (like in a pocket) or exposed to air. You might inquire as a clue to other drugs and behavior, but this one is pretty low on the abuse scale.
