    a kilo of this month's new psychedelic stimulant

AKA, "research chemicals." Or that's what my crew got into - more dangerous in a way, you don't know what you're taking half the time and even if you know it's name you don't know what it really is.

    you don't know what you're taking half the time and even if you know it's name you don't know what it really is.

Technically true of older street drugs, too, but in a different way.

Before: "Is that white powder coke or flour?"

After: "Will I go crazy and black out on 25C-NBOMe?"

(Middle: "Is this tab LSD or DOB?")

A fair point.
