All drugs, including alcohol, chemically alter the mind and body. As a result, use of drugs and/or alcohol can impair motor skills, hinder judgment, distort perception, decrease reaction time and interfere with other skills necessary to do a job safely and efficiently.
Users of synthetic drugs have reported impaired perception, reduced motor control, disorientation, extreme paranoia, and violent episodes. The use of these illicit products is reportedly more popular between individuals whose ages range between 20 and 29 years old.
