Medical professionals warn against Snapchat drug, as toll rises

Health professionals are warning against a new synthetic drug that recently hit Australian streets. Nicknamed Snapchat, the drug induces wild hysteria and aggression, and has so far hospitalised at least eight people.

Police fear that a large quantity of the drug has already been sold, and are raising alarms about its unpredictable effects.
