or now, the landing of the new drug seems isolated only to the US. It arrived in South Florida but seems to have quickly spread to Texas and Ohio. The flakka is a drug produced in some laboratories of China, Pakistan and India.
The flakka is a drug produced by synthesis in some laboratories of China, Pakistan and India. It is derived from a molecule found in the Khat plant, which grows in the Middle East and Africa.
The flakka is considered by experts as an evolution of ectasy and amphetamine. Who consumes flakka warns superhuman strength and, as a result of hallucinations, feels compelled to take actions and gestures horrible. Furthermore, the risk of death is decidedly high.
For the moment the cost of flakka is cheap, it costs 15 times less of cocaine and causes long-lasting effects, with physical exhaustion, heart problems, sudden changes in heat up to a temperature of 40 degrees, paranoia, aggression, delirium with loss of the sense of reality and act violently.
The flakka is passed off as crystals which can be pulverized, to be snorted, swallowed, injected and even smoked in electronic cigarettes. The effects of flakka last about four hours, but can last for days and has effects on humans very dangerous:
- a boy believed to be chased by dogs wolf ended up impaled on a railing. Firefighters freed and taken to hospital the young man who was shouting that his rescuers were angry animals;
- in Miami, a man who believed he was chased by the devil broke through the gates of a police station;
- a guy beat a woman of 86 years.
The use of flakka unfortunately is significant growth: up to 2010 no cases were reported in 2012 were detected 85 cases, and 670 in 2014.
Epidemiologist James Hall, the Nova Southeastern University in Florida said the flakka not tested, those who use it should know that it becomes like a laboratory rat.
