[TN] Synthetic Cocaine a Dangerous, Growing Trend

Synthetic Cocaine a Dangerous, Growing Trend
September 25, 2010 - myeyewitnessnews.com



MEMPHIS, TN - Synthetic cocaine usage is a fast-growing, highly addictive trend. Young people say their friends can't get enough of the fake coke, and it's doing a lot of damage. Eyewitness News spoke with some who've tried it, and who say they're losing their friends to this dangerous new drug.

“Bath salts” or “Charge” or “Ivory,” they’re different names for different types of cocaine substitutes. People say it looks just like cocaine, but what it does to you is even worse.

“When they hit it they just feel like they're high, on top of the world, and, when they come down, they just want more,” said one 20-year-old man who contacted us about the problem.

He was describing what happens when you're on synthetic cocaine. They call it “Charge.” He doesn't want us to show his face or use his name, but he wants people to know about a growing problem.

“I've seen crackheads, who say gotta get another rock, gotta get another rock, well, anybody on charge has gotta get another packet,” he said.

We've heard a lot lately about synthetic marijuana. But this person says his friends have moved on to fake coke.

“Now everybody's on Charge, and there's a new thing called Ivory, you don't have to do nearly as much,” the man said. “My friends that have used it, they're not the same, even after they do it they're not the same.”

He says a line or two and people will be jacked-up for hours. They keep doing it and don't sleep for days. The fake drugs don't show up on regular drug tests. A shop in Southaven was shut down for selling the stuff over the summer. Police there are cracking down.

Now, this guy says everyone is going north of the border to Memphis. Even though the substances were banned in Tennessee in July, he says you can buy it everywhere. And people need to watch out.

“It's not that I can help my friends now, but for the parents who don't know about it and may find a charge packet, and the kids like, oh, it's just something we got at the gas station, an energy packet or something like that, it's not. It's really bad, and kids who don't know about it and want to try it, they shouldn't, because it could really hurt them,” the man said.

While Southaven police are cracking down on the drug substitutes, we asked Memphis Police if they've seen much of it in the City. They said there had not been any recent incidents involving the stuff, and they don't think it's a major problem in Memphis yet.

Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas have all passed laws this year banning synthetic cocaine and marijuana.

It's not SYNTHETIC coke the same way K2 isn't SYNTHETIC marijuana - its a SUBSTITUTE. This misnomer is deceiving.

The word "synthetic" implies the same compound, but produced in a lab.

The word "substitute" suggests an alternative, and is not used.

If people started to realize that these drug substitutes are a fruit of prohibition, they might question it. It is kinda like the hydra of Greek mythology, where one "demonic" head is cut and several worse ones sprout in its place. The only way to slay this monster is to end prohibition.

Word. Synthetic cocaine is just cocaine produced differently. The American public is too poorly educated to realize that the difference matters.

If it's Ivory Wave they're referring to:

The recently published The Characterization of 'Legal Highs' lists the active constituent in Ivory Wave (via GC-MS analyses) as MDPV and Lignocaine although they also note that anecdotal reports suggest that the constituents of a given product may vary.

First of all, the guy doesn't directly say anything bad about it, he is 100% vague on why it is bad and why you should stay away. It is almost like he is promoting it.
What are the dangers? Staying up for days? :rolleyes:

Secondly, as said, it is a legal substitute and is not 100% the same and as with all substitutes, it will not give you 100% satisfaction that the real substance gives you.:shake:

Thirdly, as said, the only reason people use it, is because it is legal and they don't want to face the punishment for using the real thing. If the real thing was legal, the popularity and use of these substitutes, would be used by only a few people.

Prohibition causes substitutes to be made and consumed by law abiding citizens.
Next, substitutes get banned.
Then, new substitutes are made which may be more dangerous, but again legal.
Risks keep climbing as more substitutes are banned.

CHOCKING GAME! Legal, nothing to buy, can't get caught with anything illegal and no residue. Risk: instant death. People are committing suicide accidentally, trying to get a LEGAL substitute high.
:death:

Go ahead, ban more, let more kids kill themselves. Don't let 1 substance be legal that people enjoy in even the slightest way, unless it's Alcohol or Tobacco.

i totaly agree that this is due to prohibition.
don't really know of anyway to solve this though.. can't have everyone blowing lines of coke whenever they want.. it'd be nice at times, but i don't care for how some people get on it.
only ever seen 2 people violent on coke...but it was bad.
but whenever my friends and i have done it we just get all open and talkative about shit....the strippers i used to chill with got horny off it, but thats not a bad thing...

Maybe a better informed public? maybe more treatment for addictive personalities? a form of regulation? People wouldn't be searching out for these ways around prohibition so badly if they could just buy it legaly, but in a regulated sense.
I know some of these drugs can destory people and they're lives, but a  "Well we warned ya" mentallity might be interesting.
This article just screams to me " someone willing to try anything to get high"
dumbasses. atleast look up some of the weird stuff you don't know about/ new highs that you've never heard of.
i could prolly scrape crabs off some bitch and tell em it was synthetic coke, and they'd blow it just to try and get high.
oi, the miss informed populous...

All drugs have rules. Break the rules and be fucked if you feel tough enough.
That article seemed like a bunch of "hoot and spook" tripe that would only wash in a highly un-sophisticated place.

Pretty sure the chemical they're speaking of is flouromethocathinone. there are three different versions of this. It is true a lot of people are hooked on this stuff now including my friend. CANNOT be good for you.
