Overdose death from designer stimulants can result when the body's vital functions are driven past the limits of their capacity and endurance. Examples of designer stimulants include methamphetamine and crack. Methamphetamine is an analog of amphetamine. Crack is cocaine that can be smoked. Because it is taken into the body at such a high level of purity, crack is more dangerous and addictive than cocaine.
Designer hallucinogens distort perception and thought.
In addition, designer hallucinogens may cause restlessness and increased heart and breathing rate. Examples of designer hallucinogens include MDMA and Ketamine.
