Synthetic drugs are man-made substances designed to mimic the effects of natural drugs. They are often created in laboratories and can be more potent than their natural counterparts. These drugs can come in various forms, such as pills, powders, or liquids, and are sometimes marketed as legal alternatives to illegal substances. Many synthetic drugs, like synthetic cannabinoids or bath salts, can have unpredictable effects on the body and mind. Users may experience severe side effects, addiction, or even overdose. Because they are often unregulated, it can be difficult to know what is actually in these drugs, making them particularly dangerous.
