Following the release of a video in the County area of a man under his influence, the administrator of the Administration of Mental Health and Anti-Addiction Services (ASSMCA), Carlos Rodríguez, warned about the danger of the drug known as La Flakka.
In an interview with Ràdio Illa, Rodríguez described the effects of this substance, which is a synthetic one, and is easily accessible. “It’s easy to buy, we see that many of these drugs can be purchased as easily as at gas stations,” he said.
We recommend:
“This drug can be smoked, it can be inhaled it can also be injected, it is a neurological stimulant and within its effects, as we saw in the video, it has an energizing effect but it also has an effect on body temperature, and the reality is that it will cause those who use it feelings of euphoria, there is an increase in the state of alertness, it also produces sexual arousal, a feeling of having more energy and increased movement, “he added.
Rodriguez stressed that this drug is five times more potent than cocaine.
The ASSMCA administration, according to the official, has redoubled its efforts to start an island-wide orientation campaign to raise awareness about this substance.
