ShortHand: Flakka - “$5 Insanity”
What makes flakka – aka gravel, aka the zombie drug, aka five-dollar insanity – one of the most frightening drugs on the market is not just its unpredictable strength. It’s not just its effects – which have caused its users to go on unhinged, rabid rampages that end in bloody violence and brutal murder.
What makes the synthetic cathinone particularly horrifying is just how easy it is to make, distribute, and profit from. And how continuously drugs like it evade the law. This week, H&S find out why the drug exists – and why it drives people to such horrifying attacks.
