International Issues "FLAKKA DRUG"

Flakka is a new and potentially dangerous synthetic drug. Flakka is a street name for alpha-PVP – a very potent synthetic cathinone drug. Flakka is a very potent and inexpensive stimulant. In fact, it appears to be more potent than methamphetamine, and it is believed to have higher addictive potential. Flakka use has been found to be associated with paranoia, delusions and hallucination.

People who use flakka will at first feel euphoric, highly sociable, stimulated, more focused and have an increased sex drive but the anticipated high will wear off quickly, leaving users to up their flakka intake. Since flakka's cheap, it's a popular drug among college students, as well as low-income people and the homeless population. The designer drug is typically sold online or in the streets for $3 to $5
