It’s a new drug. And it’s a killer.
Known on the street as “flakka,” the synthetic concoction is hitting hard in Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio and other parts of the country. It’s causing a rash of emergency room visits and overdose deaths.
In one highly publicized Florida case, a man reportedly high on flakka gnawed on and disfigured another man’s face before he was shot to death by police. Another user tried to break down the door of a police station in Fort Lauderdale, and a few weeks later, a man impaled himself while trying to climb a fence around the same station.
While police in the Kansas City area say they know of no cases involving flakka yet locally, they are aware that it could easily migrate here.
And if it does, said Johnny Bivens, sheriff of Lewis County, Ky., local officials are in for a rough ride.
“This is the worst drug I have ever seen in my 18 years of law enforcement across the board,” Bivens said. “Nothing compares to this.”
Also known as alpha-PVP, it has a similar chemical makeup to other drugs commonly known as “bath salts,” according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. . .

It definitely worked on me.
I had recurring nightmares from that book.
{{{shudder}}}
It seems that being told that drugs make you stupid is *not* working on people, now.
LOL!
Have you seen the movie “Click”?
Christopher Walken dwells in the ~really~ beyond Beyond part.
:)
They also made a movie from the book.
Eli Wallach was in it.
I could never get up the nerve to watch it.
Bless you!
I don’t feel nearly as clueless as I did, before.
People I respect here also thought it.
*whew*
The real irony of your tale is your user name.
:D
“subjugate, control and kill the population”
Agree 100%.
That is also my belief about all the legal pot stuff happening, lately.
When the masses are stoned, they are easily herded.
I knew a fellow in high school who would get high snorting in the gasoline fumes from the tank on his motorcycle. Despite warnings from everybody that he was going to fry his brain, he kept doing it. I didn't see him for several years after HS, but when I did, he was missing a leg. A good bet would be that he long ago assumed room temperature.
I went “Galt” semi-retired on a sailboat ;)
Hoist up the John B’s sail.
Ah!
Well played.
:)
Practice making head shots from twenty five to thirty feet away, with follow up shots. I carry a 32 acp or .22lr with hi vel 40 grsain bullets for that reason now. Shooting these near-zombies center mass just encourages them to charge.
I’m really wild, combining liquified dihydrogen monoxide with cubes of the same thing in solid form. It’ll cure what ails you.
That's the "Beyond" part.
It’s on Netflix! Gotta watch it. Love Walked!

Likely that's because it actually did make them stupid.
It is both good and very weird.
:)
Yeah, him too.
:D
