A spooky and dangerous drug, MDPV or "cannibal drug"

The methylenedioxypyrovalerona , or MDPV, is a drug called emergent, or design, synthesized in a laboratory to circumvent the legal provisions on narcotics.

It is a drug of more or less recent use, whose effects on the organism are really dramatic.

A spooky and dangerous drug, the MDPV

The MDPV was developed in 1969, but was relegated from the trade until 2004, when it was synthesized again in laboratories as a very cheap recreational substance.

It is also known by other very suggestive names: white lightning, purple, red dove, pure ivory, ivory wave, vanilla sky, blessing, moon wave, and in English cloud nine, ivory wave, magic, black rob, super coke, PV or peeve; In recent times it has been associated with two names in particular: “bath salts” –because they sell it online as if it were really bath salts– and “cannibal drug” , because there was a very popular case in Florida, United States, in which a man bit 80% of the face of a homeless person supposedly under the effects of MDPV.

How is this drug And what effects does it cause? MDPV comes in the form of whitish crystals , and can be snorted, injected or smoked (apparently, the ways to consume it that cause more damage are injected or inhaled).It is similar to synthetic cocaine and has powerful effects on brain neurotransmitters.Acts as a stimulant, and in that it resembles cocaine, amphetamines and methylphenidate.

MDPV generates a strong dependence syndrome, and with only 5 milligrams begins to feel the effects , which are paranoia, hallucinations, agitation, chest pain, heart rate acceleration, hypertension, aggressiveness and suicidal thoughts and behaviors .terrible feature of this drug is that the effects can last from a day to a week, and suicidal behaviors remained er even after several days of consumption and after the stimulant effects have disappeared.

Since 2010 it has been marketed as bath salts , and it is generally online; its use has increased alarmingly, both in the United States and in some European countries.The fact that it is sold and purchased online gives it great accessibility and little control, which is a perfect combination for this type of illegal business that they pretend to be correct.

Molecu that of the drug

The case we mentioned before, that of the “cannibal”, was really terrifying: the MDPV caused in Rudy Eugene (which was called) an extreme intoxication to the point of not feeling the bullets that a policeman shot at him, as if he were a zombie or something similar, but it was only one of the effects.

There have also been reports of dramatic self-harm, in which consumers have been cut with knives and have committed suicide.This drug is very dangerous and harmful, but among young people it enjoys great popularity.However, some heroin and crack addicts say that MDPV is the worst thing they have ever tried.
