Designer Drugs

Designer drugs are chemically altered substances created to mimic the effects of illegal drugs while avoiding legal restrictions. They are often synthesized in laboratories and can be more potent or have different effects than their traditional counterparts. These drugs are frequently marketed under names that suggest they are safe or legal alternatives, but their safety and effects can be unpredictable. Because they are constantly being modified, regulators struggle to keep up with controlling these substances, which can lead to risks for users regarding addiction and health complications.
