What is dangerous synthetic drugs?

The modern world is the brainchild of scientific and technological progress, which, with an unpleasant speed, brings us to a brighter future. Unfortunately, this process does not do without negative consequences. Modern discoveries of scientists and technological developments of chemical laboratories supplement the ranks of existing natural drugs with synthetic analogs, which are a relatively cheap means for the destruction of mankind.

All types of drugs of synthetic origin

Synthetic drugs are divided into psychostimulants, galucinogens, depressants and narcotic analgesics. Many of these drugs are legal medicines needed in medical practice. Such drugs are used to treat certain mental illnesses, to alleviate the condition of cancer patients, and also as an anesthetic during surgical operations.

Illegal synthetic drugs are produced not only by chemical plants, but also by clandestine laboratories, most of which are located in Afghanistan, South America and the Netherlands. There are also small enterprises that produce semi-finished products for a particular customer.

What is the harm of clandestine drugs?

Synthetic drugs from a major manufacturer, as a rule, have a known brand on the tablets, which guarantees a certain composition of substances. Small laboratories supply low-grade products to the underground market, and therefore, in addition to poor quality, drugs can also contain harmful impurities, which often lead to overdose and side effects. It is this fact that determines the rapid emergence of dependence on a poor-quality drug and leads to high mortality. The problem is also that some drugs that have psychotropic properties and are offered as the latest pharmaceutical developments are nothing more than the most common cocaine substitutes.

The widespread use of artificial drugs

Today, many types of synthetic drugs are widely distributed among the population, they are cationic, piperazine, phenethylamine, tryptamine and new types of synthetic cannabinoid. At the same time, in some countries (including the Russian Federation), desomorphine, also called "crocodile", is widespread. It is very cheap and presents a particular danger to human health and life. Today synthetic drugs have practically replaced traditional hashish, heroin and marijuana. The main supplier of this product to the underground market is China.
