"...It is no wonder that “flakka” is also called “$5 insanity.” Although I am not aware of reports specifically analyzing samples of the drug, it appears that it frequently contains the synthetic cathinone alpha-PVP, which has appeared in other parts of the country where it is called “gravel.”
As always, it is important to note that anyone who uses a drug called “flakka” (or “Molly” or “Gravel” or . . . .) has no real idea of what it contains, or in what dose.
