What is Addiction?
WHEN A PERSON IS ADDICTED, he doesn't control his drug use; his drug use controls him. When an addict loses the ability to make a rational choice about whether or not to use drugs or alcohol, he or she is addicted.
Addiction is a condition whereby a person experiences an irresistible urge to seek out and use drugs or alcohol despite negative physical and mental consequences.
Addiction is usually accompanied by physical and psychological dependence on the drug and the person suffers withdrawal symptoms when the drug is rapidly decreased or stopped.
Narconon does not believe that addiction is a disease, that it is incurable or that a person must "live with it" for the rest of his life. In the experience of Narconon staff and graduates, it is possible to fully recover from addiction and enjoy a productive, drug-free life.
To understand addiction, you must first understand drugs—what they are, the signs and symptoms of their use as well as the short-term and long-term effects of using drugs.
Important Note: Addicts will often deny their addiction.
What is a Synthetic Drug?
SYNTHETIC DRUGS ARE CREATED using man-made chemicals rather than natural ingredients.
New synthetic drugs regularly hit the market across the US, Canada, Europe and Australia. The effects of these drugs have been disastrous—even fatal—for thousands of people.
The speed with which chemists come up with a new formula and get that formula to the illegal drug market has created an international crisis.
Formulas change so quickly and so frequently that law enforcement and healthcare can't keep up.
A number of these synthetic drugs, including Ecstasy, LSD and methamphetamine, are described in other booklets in this series. This booklet gives the facts about synthetic marijuana (Spice or K2), synthetic stimulants (bath salts) and a drug known as N-bomb. These are among the synthetic drugs known as designer drugs.
Designer Drugs: A Risky Experiment
TO UNDERSTAND WHAT SPICE, K2 AND BATH SALTS ARE and how they began, you should know what a designer drug is.
What is a Designer Drug?
A designer drug is a synthetic (chemically made) version of an illegal drug that has been slightly altered to avoid having it classified as illegal. It is essentially an experiment by a chemist done to create a new drug that can be sold legally (on the Internet or in stores), allowing dealers to make money without breaking the law.
The Endless Cycle
As law enforcement catches up with new chemicals that are so created and makes them illegal, manufacturers devise altered versions to steer clear of the law. So the cycle repeats.
Some of these drugs are sold over the Internet or in certain stores as "herbal smoking blends," while others are disguised as products labeled "not for human consumption," such as "herbal incense," "plant food," "bath salts" or "jewelry cleaner," to mask their intended purpose and avoid health and safety rules.
!Critical Warning: Due to the constantly growing number of chemicals that are developed, designer-drug users have no way of knowing what the drugs they take might contain. Further, as a small modification made to a known drug may result—and often does—in a new drug with greatly different effects, users cannot predict the impact on health from the substances they experiment with.
Most of them manufactured in China. Some contain chemicals that have still not been completely identified and whose effects on the human body and mind are unknown.
Identifying Synthetics Use
THE CATEGORY OF SYNTHETIC DRUGS IS CONTINUALLY CHANGING due to the speed at which this category is expanding. New synthetics arrive on the market constantly. Chemists who wish to evade arrest simply shift the formula slightly to come up with something new that might not be listed in the text of laws that ban drugs.
Symptoms can last for hours or even days. Since these drugs are addictive, one of the signs is compulsive use, despite the harm that is being experienced.
Paranoia may drive an individual to aggressive, uncontrolled attacks on others or self-destruction. They are often unresponsive to any commands to stop their actions. Even pepper spray or stun guns may have no effect.
What is Synthetic Cannabinoid?
"SYNTHETIC CANNABINOID," MOST COMMONLY KNOWN AS SPICE OR K2, is a mixture of herbs and spices that are sprayed with chemicals in an attempt to mimic the effects of THC, the mind-altering ingredient found in marijuana.
False Advertising
Synthetic drugs such as spice and K2 are often falsely advertised as safe, natural and legal highs. The truth is that they are technically not legal and are definitely not natural or safe.
Unknown Composition
Chemical analyses have shown that, in all cases, the active ingredients in these drugs are synthetic chemicals with dangerous toxic effects. Because the chemical composition is unknown, users have no idea what chemicals they are putting into their bodies.
How It's Used
- Often smoked in rolled joints, pipes or e-cigarettes
- Some users make it into a tea or use it in brownie recipes
- Taken in vaporized form through the nose or in liquid form

Real Stories, Real Consequences
I overdosed on spice and I haven't been the same since. I was just sitting there, smoking, until it all hit me. I couldn't see right or walk, and then I threw up about six or seven times. I woke up my mom and she laid me down on the couch and called the ambulance. About ten minutes before the ambulance showed up, I started to have seizures. I woke up in a hospital bed on life support. I had gone into cardiac arrest for a few hours and they thought I wasn't going to wake up. But I survived it and I have not been the same. I stutter a lot now and I can't concentrate on anything. I'll be telling a story and just go blank and not know what happened. I always see these dots and I am just not all there anymore.
I want to share my experience with K2. It ruined my life. When I tried smoking K2 for the first time, it was like everything dissolved into what seemed like the fuzz on the TV screen. I remember thinking 'This is what hell is.' All I could feel was awful fear. I heard voices of family members—flashbacks to when I was younger and the worst experience I've ever had. I was shaking horribly and I felt terrified and sick. Ever since that day, I have had awful anxiety on a daily basis. I had to quit school because my anxiety was so bad.
I am a former addict of synthetic marijuana. I became hooked while on probation. I used it to get high and still beat drug tests. I went from a gram or less a day to over three or four a day. As my addiction progressed, my ability to control basic behavior and motor skills deteriorated. I grew more aggressive when I became upset, which became more frequent, the more and longer I used. One morning, I had a psychotic break during which I blacked out and almost killed my wife. I was arrested and my probation was revoked. Since being released, I share my experience with others to encourage them not to use this drug.
After using spice for several weeks, I woke up early one night, fell to the floor, couldn't move my legs and couldn't move my hips. All I could do was drag myself by my forearms and that wasn't making it anyway so I laid on the floor for thirteen hours, screaming, pounding the floor, asking for help. Doctors say another two hours and I would have been dead. I'm going to be in the hospital for a long time to come.
Violent and Irrational Behavior
THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS FATAL CAR ACCIDENTS documented involving people under the influence of synthetic marijuana:
Fatal Car Accidents
- A brother and sister were killed when a garbage truck drove five hundred feet across a highway divider at fifty five mph and sliced off the roof of their vehicle. The driver of the truck admitted to using synthetic marijuana.
- While jogging, a sixty-two-year-old man was struck by a twenty-year-old man who tested positive for synthetic marijuana.
- Another twenty-year-old man smashed into a tree and died after smoking synthetic marijuana.
Violence and Psychosis
- In January 2011, an Omaha teen shot two school administrators, killing one, before taking his own life. Medical tests revealed K2 in his system.
- In December 2012 in Texas, a seventeen-year-old girl smoked synthetic marijuana. She had a series of strokes that left her violently psychotic. Days later, swelling in her brain nearly killed her, leaving her blind and disabled.
- In August 2013, a twenty-year-old mother under the influence of spice had thrown her four-year-old into a trash bin and, when arrested by police, could not remember where her son was.
Statistics & Facts
Synthetic Cannabinoid: A Short History
CP 47, 497 named after Charles Pfizer of Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, who developed it for scientific research.
HU-210 named after Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where it was first developed. It is one hundred to eight hundred times more potent than natural THC.
JWH-018 and others in the JWH series, named after Prof. John W. Huffman of Clemson University in South Carolina.
Synthetic cannabinoid, sold as Spice, first appeared in Europe.
Synthetic cannabinoid first appeared in the US.
US Drug Enforcement Administration used emergency powers to control these chemicals.
A law was passed banning the substances found in synthetic cannabinoid.
Underground chemists developed new experimental drugs, UR-144 and XLR11, which were then also made illegal.
More than a hundred varieties of synthetic cannabinoid have been created so far. Because the chemical content is constantly changing, buyers never know what effects the drugs will have on the body.
What are Bath Salts?
!Important: These drugs have nothing to do with bathing. They are called bath salts because they are usually packaged as a product "for a soothing bath, not for human consumption."
Many of the substances in synthetic drugs were banned in the US because of their harmful effects. Dealers use bath salts and other names to get around the law. They are also falsely advertised as plant food, jewelry cleaner, phone-screen cleaner and are labeled "not for human consumption" to escape arrest by law enforcement.
What They Are
Bath salts don't refer to any single drug, but rather a group of similar substances, chemically made versions of a type of drug found in the khat plant, an evergreen shrub from East Africa and southern Arabia. In the same way that spice and K2 are referred to as synthetic marijuana, bath salts are referred to as synthetic stimulants. They can also cause hallucinations like that of LSD.
How They're Sold
It is usually sold in powdered form in small plastic or foil packages. It can be white, off-white, yellow or brown and may also be sold in capsules or tablets or, in small jars, in liquid form.
How They're Used
Users have reported snorting or injecting it, or mixing it with food or drink. This can include bombing it (swallowing it wrapped in cigarette paper), taking it rectally, inhaling it, using a vaporizer or smoking it.

Bath Salts: Real Experiences
This product is poison. After the first hour I started to feel the cocaine-ish comedown that grew increasingly worse. The left side of my chest began to tighten and my heart was beating faster than ever. Paranoia set in. I was very close to requesting hospital treatment, but I waited it out. I would get better, a little worse, back and forth, but eventually after three to four hours I was feeling thankful to be alive and sober. The reports of people dying or going to the hospital ARE NOT BULL***T. This is dangerous poison that some scum is making cash off of in the most evil of ways.
I am an experienced drug user who experimented with more drugs than I have fingers. [Bath salts] are more dangerous than crack. The comedown was the worst experience of my life. It lasted nine hours. Nothing but fear, heart palpitations, jitters, severe nausea, and everything coming and going a million miles an hour. It was terrible. Because of this experience I will never use drugs again. I am lucky to still be alive to warn you. STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THIS.
Deadly Hallucinations
In Louisiana at the end of 2010, a twenty-year-old man snorted bath salts, then became erratic, despondent and, finally, psychotic. Terrified by hallucinations, he cut his own throat while standing in the kitchen with his father. The wound was repaired, but he managed to find a gun the next day and kill himself.
Bath Salts Family Tragedy
In 2011 in Washington, two parents killed their young son and then drove away. Their fast and erratic driving attracted the police, who chased them until the father pulled over, shot his wife and then himself. Bath salts were found in the father's pockets, in the car and in the home where the child was killed.
Bath Salts: A Short History
The drugs now known as bath salts were first synthesized (artificially created) in France.
Abuse of these drugs started in the former Soviet Union, where they were used as antidepressants. Also known as Cat and Jeff, they gained popularity in the United States in the 1990s.
These drugs were used in Israel until the key ingredient was made illegal.
They had gained broader popularity among drug users when they began to appear on Internet drug forums.
Ecstasy pills analyzed in the Netherlands found that over half the pills did not contain the primary drug that Ecstasy is associated with, but drugs found in bath salts instead.
Two of the key drugs used in bath salts were made illegal in the US. However, underground chemists then created new variations with slightly different chemical formulas.
What is N-bomb?
NBOMe, commonly referred to as N-bomb or smiles, is a powerful synthetic hallucinogen sold as an alternative to LSD or mescaline (a hallucinogenic drug made from a cactus plant). There are several variations of this drug, but 25I-NBOMe (chemical name), often shortened to 25I, is its most used and potent form.
!Critical Dosage Warning: A dose of 750 micrograms, considered an average to high dose, is about the size of six small grains of regular table salt.
Effects Duration
Effects of only a tiny amount of the drug can last for up to twelve hours or longer. Users report the negative effects and after-effects of the drug are worse than that of LSD. It also mimics the effects of methamphetamine.
How It's Sold
N-bomb is sold in liquid or powdered form or on soaked blotter paper. It has a strong, bitter metallic taste and some dealers add mint or fruit flavoring to the liquid and blotter varieties.
How It's Used
Extremely Dangerous: As N-bomb creates no effect if swallowed, users place it under their tongue, where it gets absorbed. Some users inject it, smoke the powdered form, breathe it through the nose, vaporize and inhale it, or insert it rectally. Any of these uses are dangerous as only a few grains produce an effect, and it is extremely easy to overdose—with sometimes fatal consequences.
Handling Warning: N-bomb is so toxic that it requires a filter mask, gloves and glasses while handling it. This is also a problem for law enforcement officers, as they can get a fatal overdose simply by not wearing protective gear when collecting drug evidence from a suspect.
N-bomb Short-term Effects
Effects on the Mind
- Visual and auditory hallucinations
- Confusion and disorientation
- Scrambled communication
- Aggression
- Paranoia and panic
- Agitation
- Insomnia
Effects on the Body
- Shaking
- Nausea/vomiting
- Fainting and loss of consciousness
- Muscle spasms
- Difficulty breathing
- High white cell count
- Rapid heart rate
- High acid level in the body
- Extremely high blood pressure
- Extremely high fever
- Seizures/involuntary flailing
- Kidney failure
- Heart attack
- Respiratory failure
- Bleeding in the brain
N-bomb Long-term Effects
In some users, N-bomb causes persistent and severe anxiety and depression that may last for months or years. It shows up as visual hallucinations in the form of trailing colors, widely distorted visual images, and color flashes.
Use of N-bomb can also result in kidney failure or death.
N-bomb Street Names
From "Smiles" to Silent Death
Australia (2012)
An Australian man died after using the synthetic hallucinogen 25B-NBOMe. In the midst of severe hallucinations, he ran his body into trees and poles until his death.
North Dakota (2012)
Two teenagers died after using smiles (similar to N-bomb). One of them took the drug mixed with melted chocolate and began hitting his head on the ground repeatedly. He stopped breathing several hours later.
Taiwan (2013)
A seventeen-year-old boy took N-bomb. He became violently sick and delusional. He struggled with family members trying to stop him, then dived off a high-rise balcony to his death.
Minnesota Case
An eighteen-year-old man bought the drug and sold some to his "friends." One friend began "shaking, growling, foaming at the mouth" and smashing his head against the ground. He ultimately passed out and died. The young buyer/dealer was charged with murder.
N-bomb: A Short History
The 2C PEA—originally made in labs by scientists who were studying brain activity on rats—produces hallucinations and mind-altering experiences similar to LSD.
N-bomb was discovered by chemist Ralf Heim at the Free University of Berlin, Germany. It was derived from a group of drugs called the 2C family of phenethylamines (PEA).
Nine of the PEA drugs were made illegal in the US, including the substance used to make N-bomb.
Drug dealers produce various versions of N-bomb in secret laboratories or import them in bulk from China, India and other countries. An estimated nineteen deaths in two years have been linked to the drug in the US alone.
Why Are the Number of Synthetic Drugs Increasing So Fast?
IS IT BAFFLING WHY THERE ARE SO MANY different synthetics being sold? Here's why that's happening.
Legal Loopholes
Around the world, government bodies are trying to keep these harmful drugs off the market. To do so, the specific substance in question must be illegal for sale. There's a loophole right there. If one of these products is sold as plant fertilizer, glass cleaner or incense, then the laws regulating its use are different from laws regulating a drug.
"Not for Human Consumption"
So the individuals manufacturing these drugs simply label the packages "not for human consumption." In the US state laws must ban that specific drug for police to be able to seize it and arrest sellers. In other countries the problem is similar—national lawmakers must ban the drug.
The Endless Chemical Cycle
So let's say that a drug like MDMA (Ecstasy) or the chemicals found in spice or bath salts are banned by law in New York state. The underground chemists producing this drug simply turn to another, similar chemical and start manufacturing a new drug. It's not yet included in any New York laws, so the police can't get it off the street.
Now, let's say the legislators in New York catch up and ban the new drug. The chemists now just switch to another drug in the same category. The changeover to the new drug simply involves a tiny shift in the molecules and a new name. But the tiny chemical change can mean death to the users of this new drug.
No Safety Testing: There's certainly no testing for safety, no purity checks and no conscience in this industry.
What Are Drugs?
MEDICAMENTELE SUNT ÎN ESENȚĂ OTRĂVURI. Cantitatea luată determină efectul.
A small amount acts as a stimulant (speeds you up). A greater amount acts as a sedative (slows you down). An even larger amount poisons and can kill.
Acest lucru este valabil pentru orice medicament. Diferă doar cantitatea necesară pentru obținerea efectului.
Dar multe droguri au un alt dezavantaj: afectează direct mintea. Ele pot distorsiona percepția consumatorului asupra a ceea ce se întâmplă în jurul său. Ca urmare, acțiunile persoanei pot fi ciudate, iraționale, inadecvate și chiar distructive.
De asemenea, medicamentele blochează toate senzațiile, atât cele dorite, cât și cele nedorite. Astfel, în timp ce oferă o ușurare pe termen scurt a durerii, ele anulează, de asemenea, capacitatea și vigilența și tulbură gândirea unei persoane.
Medicines are drugs that are intended to make your body work better by speeding up, slowing down or changing something about the way the body works. Sometimes they are necessary. But medicines are still drugs: they act as stimulants or sedatives and too much can kill you. If medicines are abused, they can be as dangerous as illegal drugs.

✅ Section FAQ – Synthetic Drugs Education
What are synthetic drugs made of?
Synthetic drugs are lab-made chemicals designed to mimic natural substances like cannabis, cocaine, or ecstasy. They often contain unpredictable compounds that can be far more dangerous than the originals.
Why are synthetic drugs so dangerous?
Because their ingredients change constantly to avoid regulation, users never know what they’re taking. This leads to a high risk of seizures, psychosis, or sudden death.
Are synthetic drugs legal?
Not necessarily. While some formulas may be temporarily unregulated, most synthetic drugs become illegal once identified. But new variations appear rapidly to bypass laws.
Can someone recover from synthetic drug use without medication?
Yes. Programs like Narconon offer a drug-free rehabilitation path that focuses on restoring mental clarity, decision-making, and long-term stability.
