Nope that’s “bath salts” and lots of analogs or designer variations - none of which are in any way similar to mu receptor opioids like methadone. Sounds kinda d

Nope that’s “bath salts” and lots of analogs or designer variations - none of which are in any way similar to mu receptor opioids like methadone. Sounds kinda dangerous to me.

I love how something murderous like bath salts get the attractive name "designer drug" bitch no designer designed this that's f'ing poison

  The designer in designer drugs indicates that someone changed a molecule here or there in a known drug to get around drug laws that specified certain substances as illegal. So we ended up with a bunch of derivatives until such time as the law could catch up

  It's designed, just the design goals were "be technically legal and try not to kill the user after one dose". Turns out those don't make good drugs, fairly predictably.

The most important difference is dosage. A typical mephedrone line is 5-10 times bigger than the methadone one. If you snort a single methadone line like that it's a guaranteed death sentence.

>Nope that’s “bath salts” A-PVP is "bath salts"; essentially an Adderall analog that is closer to meth - from the infamous "Florida man eats man's face on bath salts" meme, which was completely false. The man just had THC in his system and a clear psychotic break. >methadone Mephradrone is a drug 3/4ths the potency of MDA, a drug similar to MDMA. The first "Designer drug" was Methoxetamine (MXE), which is essentially a (bladder-safe) version of Ketamine. > Sounds kinda dangerous to me. Yes, ironically, it is safer to let the streets create the (common) name and leave no room for ambiguity with this formal/informal dual-nomenclature. That way people who don't know better make misinformed comments.

  > A-PVP is "bath salts" A-pvp is now called “bath salts” in Russia and other countries. But when UK had a bath salts craze in 2010, it was mephedrone. Street drug names are weird and dynamic.
