Synthetic Drug Concerns

Synthetic drugs are quickly becoming a major local and national concern.   I've run into a few folks who are using synthetic drugs and they could be on the poster as to why this is bad stuff.  Police officers are dealing with the drugs and users more and more frequently.  Medical officials are not sure what long term health issues synthetic drug users will face, but no doubt there will be consequences. I can already see the side effects of these drugs in the people who are using.  Like the police, local hospitals are reporting an increase in patients who are using synthetics. I have grave concerns for people who start using this stuff. There has been a run on the topic lately in the media.  The Star Tribune has done the best job of highlighting the problem.    Star Tribune series on synthetic drugs
