[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 1821672, member: 3371"] The recent wave of popularity of synthetic drugs in Florida has been fueled by the fact that they’re legal and easy to buy, experts say. “When it’s tough to get the real stuff, they turn to the fake stuff,” said Sgt. Jim Baker of the Collier County Sheriff’s Office’s vice and narcotics bureau. The synthetic substances, used as substitutes for street drugs, are available in Florida stores and through the Internet because manufacturers are marketing them as legal products. Herbal incense products - commonly known as K2 or Spice - contain chemical compounds that, when smoked, gives a user psychoactive effects similar to marijuana, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Another line of drugs marketed as “bath salts” - with names like Ivory Wave and Vanilla Sky - were available in Florida stores until a recent temporary statewide ban. These products contain a chemical that, when snorted, eaten or smoked, are used as a legal substitute for ecstasy or cocaine, according to a Florida Department of Law Enforcement report. Recent reports have suggested that these synthetic drugs can cause severe side-effects in some users, including hallucinations, panic attacks, seizures and kidney failure.
