Forget that old eating people's faces and stuff. Be like the popular kids:
New hallucinogenic drug 25B-NBOMe and 25I-NBOMe led to South Australian man's bizarre death
A NEW drug causing bizarre and irrational behaviour has emerged in South Australia, and has led to the death of a man who killed himself by repeatedly running into trees and power poles.
The two drug types - known as 25B-NBOMe and 25I-NBOMe - were responsible for the death of a man in the Mid North in March, who died from injuries sustained after running into fixed objects, trees and Stobie poles as a result of an overdose.
In the past 11 days, there were two non-fatal overdoses - also in the mid-north of the state - in young adults who were related to each other.
Drug Investigation Branch Acting Detective Superintendent Derryn Phillips said the relatively new drug was believed to be made in China and bought over the internet.
She said its long and short-term health issues, and its presence interstate, were unknown.
The drug is a derivative of potent hallucinogens, 2CB and 2CI, both banned substances in South Australia. They are marketed similar to LSD.
