Synthetic drug war heats up
    #18642111 - 07/31/13 11:55 PM (10 years, 9 months ago)

The war on synthetic drugs in South Australia has intensified, with plans for a blanket ban on all products that mimic illegal substances.

The state government wants to put police one step ahead of criminals with chemistry sets.

Synthetic drugs promise the high of ecstasy without the risk of jail, but they can have deadly consequences.

Sydney teenager Henry Kwan died after jumping from a roof while high on synthetic LSD, prompting a crackdown.

Today, the South Australian Government announced it is moving to ban all products marketed as mimicking illegal drugs.

“Crooks with chemistry sets are out there inventing chemicals more quickly than labs in Australia can analyse those chemicals and have them formally listed as illegal chemicals,” Attorney-General John Rau said.

It won’t matter what they are known as on the street, hopefully closing a legal loophole.

But one drug expert has warned it is almost impossible to police.

“The marketing of drugs does change, some of them are non-marketed as drugs per say, so they might be marketed as plant food, as bath salts, some are labeled as not for human consumption,” drug expert professor Jason White told 7News.

Meanwhile, police have issued a second warning after pills seized in Adelaide early this month were found to contain a substance that could lead to hallucinogenic behaviour with fatal consequences.

They raised the alarm yesterday after an especially bad batch of ecstasy surfaced in the city on Saturday night.

A dozen users were rushed to hospital over the weekend, including one who is still fighting for life in hospital.

No doubt his PR came up with "crooks with chemistry sets"; some nice colloquialism to appeal to the baby boomers--but they know this isn't the truth.

The facts state that the majority of RCs are imported, and not nationally produced.  On top of this they still don't understand that prohibition actually creates the underground, unregulated criminal networks.  Despite the evidence, being seen to be tough on 'drugs' is the best these rusting capitalist robots can come up with.

the first thing a paramedic asked me when my older brother was having a seizure was "Has he taken any NBOMe's recently" ...

LSD is not known to be formed in nature, so it is entirely synthetic.  It doesn't matter that precursors can be derived from ergot fungus.

LSD is a semi synthetic drug of the ergoline family.

Ah c'mon, what does it changes that it is made in a lab or nature, a molecule is a molecule and that's it

:facepalm:

And semi synthetic, all would be semi synthetic sir as we take (nearly) all the precursor from nature :shrug: This term suck

"Semisynthesis" or partial chemical synthesis is a type of chemical synthesis that uses compounds isolated from natural sources (e.g. plant material or bacterial or cell cultures) as starting materials.

one example is the semisynthesis of LSD from ergotamine, which is isolated from ergot fungus cultures.

That fact remains it is still synthesized, and to call some research chemical "synthetic LSD" is completely ludicrous.

And it may be "semi-synthetic" but it is by no means natural. Not that I dont love LSD, but anyone claiming it to be some natural psychedelic from the earth is deluded
