This summer has left us with worrying news. According to what we have read in La Vanguardia, poisonings from synthetic drug use have multiplied by 20 at Hospital Clínic de Barcelona during the hottest season of the year.

The user profile is “predominantly male, between 18 and 30 years old”. Although, as sources from the Barcelona hospital acknowledge, minors are sometimes admitted as well. People seeking new experiences, thinking about the positive effects without considering the negative ones.

Unfortunately, Spain is not an isolated case regarding the penetration of synthetic drugs, as in the rest of the European Union countries these substances are gaining ground over heroin, the narcotic most consumed at present.

Warning! The characteristics that make them so dangerous:

• No antidote exists.
• Amphetamine derivatives do not come from natural sources; they are always produced in laboratories.
• In many cases, they are medicines that ultimately were not viable, and they have a chemical composition that alters sensory perceptions and is addictive.
• High diversification increases the likelihood of poisoning and produces confusion among users.
• Traffickers constantly modify them so that the drug has greater hallucinogenic and psychomotor capacity and reduces fatigue.
• Among young people, there is a low perception of risk.
