What drug is this?

 

I'd heard many chemists in Europe are coming up with all sorts of new psychoactive substances which technically evade law??

 

How does it kill the person ingesting it? Most drug users that die are from narcotics.

May 2022 – UNODC-SMART: Emergence of “Happy water” in Southeast Asia

BANGKOK, Thailand – May 2022: On 30th May 2022, the UNODC SMART Programme launched its annual report on “Synthetic Drugs in East and Southeast Asia – Latest Developments and Challenges 2022” in Bangkok, Thailand. The report provides an overview of the latest methamphetamine, “ecstasy”, and NPS trends in the region, highlighting recent changes in the manufacture, trafficking, and use of synthetic drugs.

In addition to new substances emerging on the illicit drug market in the region, the emergence of a new drug product was noticed, sold under the street name of “Happy water”. The product is typically sold online through social media as well as in entertainment venues in liquid or powder form and consumed dissolved in water or other drinks. “Happy water” products may contain a range of different psychoactive substances in varying combinations and concentration. “Happy water” samples seized recently in Thailand, for example, contained MDMA, methamphetamine, diazepam, caffeine, tramadol, and ketamine.

The dose is the poison.

 

In all things no, exceptions.

 

It's humanly possible to die from an overdose of fresh drinking water, and I don't mean by drowning in it. 

 

Thes drugs don't "evade" the law, the law just bans them without any interest in harm studies or possible benefits.

 

if it's fun, we can't have that!

Only some clowns that know nothing about fun and are addicted to power over others shall decide, what we, as adults can ingest, in our own time -and homes.
