Throughout the U.S., emergency rooms have seen a spike in drug
overdoses involving extreme paranoia, psychosis, and some
fatalities. The culprit? A new generation of synthetic drugs with
benign-sounding names like Bath Salts, Vanilla Sky, and Cloud 9.
Sold at head shops, gas stations, and online for as little at $20,
the substances mimic marijuana, cocaine, Ecstasy, and other illicit
drugs. And just like these hardcore drugs, their side effects can be
dangerous and even deadly at times. Synthetic drugs are designed by
drug "chemists" who tweak the substances' formulas to try and keep
the drugs legal, often relying on trial-anderror. In some cases,
synthetic drugs are too new to be regulated - though law enforcement
is catching up, outlawing the drugs soon after they hit the streets.
They're relatively cheap and easy to get over the internet. And
they're making lots of money for the producers and sellers. Rick
Broider, president of the North American Herbal Incense Trade
Association located in New Hampshire, produces a variety of
synthetic substances including synthetic marijuana. His organization
claims that their products churn out big-time profits: $5.4 billion.
Broider disputes that synthetic drugs have harmed anyone. "Would we
be a $5 billion dollar industry if people were truly dying?" he
says. Federal law enforcement agencies, including the DEA, as well
as several local agencies, such as the Tammany Parish (Louisiana)
Sheriff's Office, which covers an area hard-hit by synthetic drugs,
have agreed to give us access to undercover operations and raids of
businesses selling synthetic drugs illegally. We could also revisit
methamphetamine - one of the original synthetic drugs - more than a
decade after the scourge first hit. As discussed, Carl Quintanilla
produced a story on meth in New Jersey. Carl can do a ten-year
retrospective on meth.
