I must be getting old, :biggrin: this is the first I have heard of this.

An emergency room doctor calls it as "five-dollar insanity." A rehab director says it's the "devil's drug."

On the street, it's known as flakka — a synthetic crystal imported from China that is wreaking havoc in South Florida and threatening to spread its misery and profits across the country.

It's cheap, crazily addictive and terrifying. A single dose smoked, swallowed or snorted can give a user a potent but fleeting rush — or turn them into a paranoid zombie with superhuman strength and off-the-charts vital signs.

In the 14 months since the epidemic began in Broward County, 60 people have died. Hospitals are getting dozens of patients a day. And some nights, half the calls to police are flakka-related emergencies.

How many conservatives do you know that do drugs?

All the druggies I have been exposed to are liberals to the core.

I certainly wish that recreational drugs were not a problem in this country but it is just another zombie way liberals have of killing themselves.

And they want to blame us for trying to keep them from doing it!   :confused:

No good deed goes unpunished!

Uncuff the DEA and let them do their job!
