Drugs have evolved a great deal over time...drugs like fads come and go quickly. Acid in the 60's, cocaine in the 80's, and lately the biggest craze has been prescription pills. What will be the new wave of drugs for the next decade? Any theories? Will it be an opiate, a stimulate, something entirely new? Has a new drug fad already begun to appear?
 
I'm afraid that as time passes most all recreational drugs will become impossible to come by. Between the DEA gaining more and more regulatory and intimidation power and new medications being developed, I think actual "enjoyable" substances will be a thing of the past. Opiates are on their way to extinction already thanks to some new non-narcotic compounds that kill pain without addiction or tolerance.

We've gone from not a single illegal drug 100 years ago (Heroin was sold over the counter at Sears) to a massive national bureaucracy today that spends $2.4 BILLION dollars of our own money per year putting people in jail. Who knows how much more money is wasted through the judicial and correctional systems because of the "war on drugs."
 
^ Things may develop the other way as well; we might see governments lifting the ban on drugs instead of trying to come up with inventive ways to class completely unknown substances under analogue laws.
 
I like Mjall's idea better and it sort of works. Bud has become/is becoming legal in California and they had that psychedelic conference where everybody said how LSD & Mushrooms could be used to help people. Who knows, plus Obama seems like a fairly chill guy and once America starts doing something it usually catches on.
 
I think Nootropics are definitely the next big thing. Everything's becoming a hell of a lot more fast-paced; people are expected to process more and more information at faster and faster rates. People need drugs that speed up cognitive ability and reaction time, but don't tweak them out too much... and a lot of these drugs are also neuroprotective.

Also, thanks to MAPS (and similar organizations), psychedelics seem to be making a comeback.

I'm hoping for some dope new designer drugs to appear within the next few years... more specialized artificial cannabinoids, crazy new opiates (acetylation! Is diacetylhydromorphone out yet? Bet that would be super), more exploration into tryptamines and phenethylamines...

i disagree. i can't think of one drug that's been completely eradicated from existence even with prohibition and everything else fighting to prevent.

i think maybe when these non-addictive, non-narcotic drugs have proved themselves in the medical field to be superior to traditional opiates is when we may have to start think about worrying. i really can't see these traditional drugs which have been established in medicine for so long being swept from beneath us overnight.

Oh I don't think morphine will be gone tomorrow, but I can't imagine it taking longer than 15-20 years or so. There is simply too much money to be made by too many people for it not to happen. Not to mention, the new drugs have a very legitimate benefit--pain relief without addiction. As with all things, its not going to happen overnight but I think that its inevitable.
 
Synthetic Drugs are The Future

I believe it will be more synthetic lab created drugs--both of pain killing and psychodelic variety. One or two will become very popular and it will be everywhere. I heard about people maybe synthesizing super potent Fentanyl cut it up a hundred times..sell it and move on. Low threat of getting caught because you don't need much to do it!

Essentially, a biotech company has a bacterium that brews sugar into 1,4-BDO. Obviously this is of interest to some industrial processes, but also to some users of G-analogs. And perhaps they can be coaxed into making chemicals that have wider or different appeal.

Imagine one day a mushroom, engineered to brew DMT and and MAOI. A weird ayaboomer technomeld.
 
For the UK 2008-2010 mephedrone was the drug.
I think it could be something like 2C-I/2C-E for the familiar drug users, not for those who are inexperienced due to the small dosage required.
I think more synthetic or replacements for current drugs may come out, such as the JWH-018.

Anything that's a stimulant, has good music appreciation and is intensely euphoric will take the UK by storm as long as it's easy to get a hold of.
 
I just hope great LSD makes a full and solid comeback. It is, and will always be my favorite and most magical of substances.

I also look forward to the day that this is a REAL headline in the New York Times:

I think the drugs of the future are going to be drugs that treat addiction. More drugs that make you not crave amphetamines/alcohol etc. There is already methadone, and suboxone for opiate dependence, and there are some drugs used for alcohol dependence, but I think there is alot of money in this area, especially with so many people being sentenced to treatment instead of jail.
