Where do these drugs come from?
According to the UN, the production of new drugs continues to grow in the world. The demand for such drugs is growing, as they are cheaper than the usual "Drugs" in medicine According to the law, a substance will be classified as a drug if the chemical composition and physiological effect coincide with existing, well-known drugs. But a new remedy appears, its effect on the human body has not been studied, the chemical composition has been updated. And the “side effect” in the form of a narcotic “high” appeared.
For a long time, these pills were sold to everyone without a prescription, as a drug that increases blood pressure. And they didn’t even know about its side effect, which manifested itself with an overdose of the drug. Another “new” is OxyContin. This drug is known in the United States as an anesthetic, it has been effectively used in the treatment of cancer. It turned out that if you increase the dose of the drug, then this drug has an effect similar to heroin. These tablets are crushed, injected, inhaled. One of the representatives of the manufacturing plant admitted that this drug is dangerous in case of an overdose. But they are not going to reduce its production, but on the contrary, they will increase it, since the profit from the sale of this substance is huge.
Why are there more and yet more drugs?
In fact, new drugs are so only from a technical and legal point of view: the chemical structure and composition of these substances is similar to previously known analogues. Their novelty lies in a few atoms that do not even change the principle of drug action. Efficacy and action of new substances coincides with long-used nerve stimulants, euphoretics and hallucinogens
Then the question arises - why are they created? To circumvent the prohibitions and restrictions imposed at the legislative level. A drug addict can buy chemicals without any fear of criminal liability.
Laboratory research
Some of the applicants to chemical universities are confident that within a few years after their studies, they will be able to organize a small, stable factory involved in the production of drugs. In order to ‘avoid falling under the corresponding criminal responsibility, they. An absolutely new substance will be created that is not listed in the current lists of psychoactive and psychotropic substances with a significant effect at the same time. When creating this type of drugs, there is a clear analogy with drugs, but if, say, pharmaceutical companies that create them have "guinea pigs", then young chemists, when creating drugs, are forced to experience the effect of the created substance on themselves or on "volunteers".
If one of them survives, then the buzz really turns out, therefore, there is the possibility of moving to the next logical phase of such an inherently risky event. But then it gets really scarier, because you will need to properly infiltrate the criminal world, after which you will sell a new potion in a trial batch, at the same time convincing that the effect of it is no worse, but it costs much less. Approximately at this stage, all experiments are completed, because the “hucksters” turn out to be ordinary police officers, while they have specific legal grounds for stopping such activities with the corresponding imprisonment of innovators.
Danger!
As a rule, new drugs are even more dangerous than the "classic" ones, for a number of reasons:
Analogue synthetic drugs are very addictive, since the most active and most potent are always selected from a number of analogue substances;
Designer drugs are the most toxic, as manufacturing technologies are often violated during their manufacture and toxic impurities are formed in the substance;
It is difficult to diagnose poisoning and provide timely medical assistance in case of poisoning with such drugs, since they have not yet been studied and suitable methods of resuscitation have not been developed;
It is very easy for an addict to overdose, since the concentration of the narcotic substance can vary from time to time, since synthetic drugs are mixed in arbitrary proportions.
