Designer Drugs
Effective Synthetic Drug Addiction Therapy
Synthetic drugs, also known as Designer drugs, are altered versions of well-known illicit drugs. They are designed to reproduce the effects of the substances they’re based on. Synthetic drugs encompass a variety of categories like pipradrols, piperazines, tryptamines, phencyclidines, phenethylamines, cannabinoids, and N-ring systems. These drugs are often sold under common names like bath salts, K2, spice, flakka, and research chemicals. Retailers may categorize them under bath salts, potpourri, and incense, selling them with a label specifying “Not for human consumption,” even though they are often consumed for their effects.
