SURAT: When once high-end drugs were hard to get and costly as these were mostly imported, production of synthetic drugs locally, designed to suit specific types of needs like fitness enthusiasts, students or partygoers, have made the city’s drug-laden underbelly a lot murkier.
Investigators as well as those working at de-addiction centres claim this to be a dangerous trend and are worried that the designer forms are the most sought-after now among synthetic drugs. “The synthetic drug forms are easy to consume and have various uses. Fitness activity, party, study or to feel isolated,” Vinay Solanki, president of Parivartan Vyasan Mukti Kendra, Surat.
