1. It Could Be the Deadliest
Designer Drug to Date
The Daily Mai reports: The street drug has
so far killed five people in the United States
and it can be particularly lethal since its relative simple chemical formula can be reproduced by anyone with just a basic understanding of chemistry.

2. It is Derived from Mescaline
According to Yahoo! News: [N-bomb] is
derived from mescaline, which occurs naturally in peyote cactus. The technical name
of the substance is phenethylamine. The substance isn’t technically illegal because it is
made from two banned parent drugs.
3. It is Administered Just Like LSD
N-bomb can be taken as a liquid, a powder,
or as a tab on a blotter paper under the
tongue.
4. It Was Discovered in 2003 and
Emerged in 2010 Online as a
Designer Drug
According to Wikipedia: 25I-NBOMe (2C-INBOMe) is a derivative of the substituted
phenethylamine psychedelic 2C-I, discovered
in 2003 by Ralf Heim at the Free University
of Berlin, and subsequently investigated by
a team at Purdue University led by David
Nichols.
The chemical had no history of human use
prior to being sold online as a designer drug
in 2010.
5. It Has Other
Street Names
It is also known as
“Smiles” and “25I.” Its
most common name,
“N-bomb,”
comes
from the chemical
name of the drug.
