In this case report, we aimed to describe the patient who boiled hyoscine-n butyl bromide and used it as an inhaler in order to benefit from the hallucinogenic effect of hyosine butylbromide tablets. Case A 47-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency department with agitation, hallucinations and blurred vision. He was not oriental and cooperative. GCS: 13 and was prone to sleep. During the follow-up of the emergency department, vital signs, liver and kidney function tests and electrolytes were normal. There was no evidence of hemorrhage or infarct on Computer Tomography (CT). About 6 hours after admission, the patient's general condition improved. In his physical examination, GCS was 15 and he did not complain of blurred vision. In his story, he stated that hyoscine-N-butylbromide tablets were powdered and heated in a metal container and inhaled the smoke, taking advantage of the hallucinogenic effect.
