Designer Drugs
This chapter briefly looks at what are referred to as designer drugs. These are completely synthetic drugs with the goal to mimic effects of natural products. Cathinone is a natural product contained in the leaves of the khat plant (Catha edulis). It can exist as two enantiomers with the S enantiomer being more active than the R enantiomer. The normal dosage of 100‐200 g of leaves has been reported to give effects similar to 5 mg of amphetamine. In animals, cathinone substitutes for amphetamine and can have reinforcing effects similar to cocaine. The use of “bath salts” or “plant food” became popular as a “legal” drug. They contain a mixture of the cathinone analogs mephedrone and methylone. The effect of the drugs is said to be similar to 3,4‐methylenedioxy‐methamphetamine (MDMA).

There are apple orchards and pizza places and people hanging their laundry; there are couples getting married, commuters headed to work and cars rusting in piles. Freight trains make their way slowly through the landscape, hauling steel and coal.
