@azie There are two new classes of designer drugs – products frequently labeled “incense” which imitate marijuana and those frequently labeled “bath salts” that imitate stimulants such as cocaine and methamphetamine. Fortunately, the DEA has used its emergency powers to temporarily make both illegal while they conduct studies to determine if the ban should be made permanent. Methadone is probably not in any of these products, since it is a prescription medication intended to help people quit using heroin or morphine and manage withdrawal symptoms. You may be thinking of Mephedrone, 3,4 methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) or Methylone, synthetic stimulants that can be in “bath salts”. Of course, the labels rarely say what’s actually in the packages – but it’s a good bet that, whatever it is, it’s not good for you!
