RESUMEN

The study highlighted the problem of intoxication using substances and/or preparations, to which nowadays young people have unrestricted access. Based on the case developed in the Department of Forensic Medicine of the Medical University of Gdansk, our team members were able to gather information showing "ingenuity" of today's teenagers, which was reflected in the types of preparations used to induce a state of euphoria and intoxication. The study was based on the case of a 17-year-old woman, who took Acodin in combination with compressed air used to clean computer keyboards in order to induce psychoactive effects. The study used qualitative and quantitative methods: GC-FID and GC-MS. The results were compared with data from the literature.
