Stop using blatantly biased language in objective descriptions.

Using the term "designer drug" is a framing technique that automatically implies or assumes legitimacy of prohibition policies, criminal activity or association with criminal activity, subterfuge, deception, and misrepresentation.

It is the equivalent of using a racial slur, except instead of stereotyping a person through the use of a pejorative term to describe them, comparison is made to existing substance already having widespread acceptance despite being significantly misrepresented and either demonized and/or banned, This guilt by association framing technique then acts as to establish acceptance by the public of prohibition policies being expanded to include this "new" drug, despite there being no actual scientific inquiry or findings delineating the actual attributes of the substance.

Use of the term "designer drug" as a comparative biases the entire entry, and should be abated in this and all other instances in the Wikipedia except those wiki areas where prohibitionists can freely speak their vernacular, and people interested in actual information can easily ignore them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.103.14.252 (talk) 06:05, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Alpha PVP is a designer drug - look up the definition - what in the holy hell is "biased" about describing it this way? Studies on the negative effects of this "designer drug" abound - it's been around since the 60's. A designer drug (a drug that is created to be only slightly different from an illegal drug so that it will not be considered illegal; an artificially made drug that is used for pleasure) is just that. I'm not sure why you would be offended by the term, particularly when it accurately describes the object in question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.16.195.190 (talk) 17:50, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

Would it help to state that this drug is a hallucinogenic in the lede if it's backed by reliable sources?

Would it help to state that this drug is a hallucinogenic stimulant in the lede if it's backed by reliable sources? Stating that it's just a stimulant in the lede is not descriptive enough since many stimulants don't cause dissociative states. 2601:940:C000:46A0:8031:F5C0:4974:4C72 (talk) 02:18, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Just give the source to debate instead of asking if we can debate of a thread. Hallucinogenic effects are given in the list of secondary effect but source attached is outdated.

Image needed

Aren't there any images of this drug on Commons? 204.11.189.94 (talk) 16:05, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Under "Society and Culture," could you add information on regards to the use of the source plant in indigenous populations? Below I have included one viable source. Thank you.
