agree  rzima: uppers, bo dopalacz jest tu kolokwializmem
7 mins
  -> Dzięki :) Oczywiście zauważyłam kolokwializm, dlatego go wpisałam, ale wersja oficjalna nie zaszkodzi ;)
agree  kamilw: Pierwsze co pomyślałem to uppers. Nie wiem czy wśród dopalaczy nie ma też "zamulaczy" (downers) ale to by musiał stwierdzić ktoś kto się lepiej zna ;-)
34 mins
  -> Dzięki :) Chyba rzeczywiście bywają "downersy", ale "używacze" chyba wolą się oszukiwać, że to jednak "uppersy" ;)

agree  kropi: Po wklepaniu w bazę dnych PubMed - zdecydowanie 'legal highs'. 'Smarties' nie występują, 'analeptics' i 'stimulants' to bardzo szerokie pojęcia, zaś 'uppers' ewidentnie odnosi się do amfetaminy i pochodnych. Zatem LEGAL HIGHS it is, dzięki serdeczne!

disagree  Tomasz Warzocha: absolutnie nie legal highs, bo legal highs obejmują takie substancje jako kofeina, czy nikotyna, a więc naprawdę zupełnie legalne substancje

designer drugs


Explanation:
Designer drug is a term used to describe drugs which are created to get around existing drug laws, usually by modifying the molecular structures of existing drugs to varying degreesor less commonly by finding drugs with entirely different chemical structures that produce similar subjective effects to illegal recreational drugs
