CHIANG RAI – Thi Bhawangkanantha, head of the Child Protection Center at the Office of the Basic Education Commission has alerted authorities to a new, harmful narcotic-like cocktail taken among high-school students who can easily buy the ingredients and search for its formula on the internet.

The drug is called ya pro, or procodyl, and is a mix of soft drinks, cough syrup, muscle relaxants and cold medicines. The last three ingredients can be bought over the counter at chemists.

A high dose of these four drugs will affect the brain, giving an effect similar to taking narcotics.
