Scentlogix™ Cathinone Detector Dog Aid

Synthetic cathinones are a group of stimulant substances related to cathinone, the main psychoactive substance in khat (Catha edulis). Cathinone itself is chemically similar to amphetamine, and is internationally controlled. Synthetic cathinones are marketed as ‘legal’ replacements to controlled stimulants, such as amphetamine, MDMA, and cocaine and include drugs with street names such as Khat, Bath Salts, Bliss, Bloom, Blow, Blue Silk, Cloud 9, Drone, Energy-1, Explosion, Flakka (Alpha-PVP), Gravel (Alpha-PVP), Insect Repellant, Ivory Wave, Jewelry Cleaner, Lunar Wave, M-Cat, Meow-Meow, Ocean Burst, Phone Screen Cleaner, Plant Food, Pure Ivory, Purple Wave, Recharge, Red Dove, Scarface, Snow Leopard, Stardust, Vanilla Sky, White Dove, White Knight, White Lightening, White Magic, and Zoom.

Cathinones can be inhaled, eaten, smoked, and sometimes injected. The products are typically innocently labeled to avoid legal flags. Reported use of cathinones and their derivatives have been on the increase in the USA over the last few years.
