Synthetic stimulants can cause hallucinations, aggressive behaviors, death and
are sometimes legal. These substances are sold as plant food and bath salts that
are "Not for Human Consumption", therefore skirting the 1986 Federal Analogue Act
and giving a false pretense of safety. Studies have proved that these substances
are toxic, have a high abuse potential, and are becoming extremely prevalent in
the United States. This creates a dilemma for law enforcement agents, hospitals,
and substance use disorder treatment centers. Urine Drug Testing is utilized as a
clinical diagnostic tool in substance use disorder treatment centers, and the
furious pace at which new synthetic stimulants are introduced to the black market
are making the detection via urine increasingly difficult. This article will
discuss the prevalence, pharmacology and difficulty developing laboratory assays
to detect synthetic stimulants.
