Drug Drug is define as natural or synthetic substance or mixture of substances which are used in prevention of diagnosis or treatment and cure of dieses in men, animal and other living organism. The main types drugs is natural and other one is synthetic.

Synthetic drugs Synthetic drugs are chemically laced substances similar to marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine that are sold over the counter at some convenience stores, gas stations and tobacco shops. Based on their chemical make-up, these drugs are commonly divided into two categories: Cannabinoids Popularly known as K2 or Spice, cannabinoids are chemically formulated versions of synthetic marijuana that consist of lab-manufactured THC. Cathinones Often known as “bath salts”, cathinones contain chemical compounds that mimic the effects of cocaine or meth.

Synthetic Cannabinoids Contain dried, shredded plant material. “Spice” is sprayed onto the plant material. Also known as “K2”, “Yucatan Fire”, “sence”, amongst others. Cheap, easy to purchase, and legal. https://www.pinterest.com/klconlee/drugs-synthetic-cannabinoids/

Synthetic Cannabinoids Street Names K2 SPICE Chronic Herbal Incense Genie

Side Effects of Synthetic Cannabinoids Mild Nausea, vomiting, paranoia, hyperactivity, ABD pain/cramps, and hallucinations Severe seizures, hypertermia especially when used with alcohol

Synthetic Canthinones Also called “bath salts” Amphtetamine analogues found in the leaf of the khat plant Illegal in the U.S. because canthinones are schedule I drugs

BATH SALTS ACTIVE Compound(s) Effects: Mephedrone The active compound(s) contained in “Bath Salts” are: Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) Mephedrone Both are synthetic stimulants and fall into the AMPHETAMINE class of Narcotics. Effects: The effects are similar to that of cocaine, amphetamines, and ecstasy (MDMA). 8 6

Cathinones Bath salts are water-soluble, pulverized minerals that are added to water to be used for bathing. They are said to improve cleaning, enhance the enjoyment of bathing, and serve as a vehicle for cosmetic agents

Kratom A naturally occuring drug that is abused recreationally Also known as “biak-biak” or “Thom” Frequent cannabinoid substitute in “spice”

Kratom Use Used by chewing, smoking , or drinking as tea Effects are dose dependent Small doses act as a stimulant Larger does create opioid like sedation Effects begin in minutes and can last 90 minutes or more .

Kratom Abuse “4x100” acts like an alcohol substitute Mixture of kratom, caffeine, cough syrup w/ codeine, benadryl, and either an anxiolytics, analgesics, or antidepressants Deaths have been attributed when mixed with a benzodiazepines and propylhexadrine (nasal decongestant)

Abusing the Drug When smoked, the high can last 2-3 hours Often mixed with other drugs such as ketamine or kratom Also mixed with vitamin E and clenbuterol, a sympathomimetic This mixture worsens the adrenergic effects including hypertension, tachycardia, and potential for MI.

EFFECT ON HUMAN These synthetic chemicals negatively affect: Short-term memory Motivation Reasoning ability Emotional stability Learning Stamina
