kill the flakka market: a Chinese
government crackdown on
manufacturers, a public aware-
ness campaign, a law enforce-
ment dragnet on dealers and
street talk about the nasty side
effects.
Broward County reports no
flakka-related deaths this year.
Emergency room visits over the
drug, which hit 20 per day a year
ago, are rare. Arrests, too, are
now rare, Israel said.
Statewide and nationally,
flakka usage never matched
Broward. But officials in other
Florida jurisdictions and be-
yond — from Palm Beach to
Houston — say they, too, are see-
ing declines.
When flakka first appeared,
Broward drug officials didn’t
even know how to spell it, said
Jim Hall, an epidemiologist at
Broward’s Nova Southeastern
University who tracks illegal
narcotics usage. Is it “flaca,”
Spanish for “skinny?” No, they
learned, it’s “flakka” with two k’s
— a derivative of the Spanish
word for a thin, pretty woman.
Hall said flakka was cheap —
$3 to $5 a dose — and ubiqui-
tous.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.
— A year after it ravaged South
Florida, flakka — the synthetic
street drug known for causing
psychotic outbursts — is virtual-

Broward County became in-
famous as the epicenter for the
amphetamine, making national
headlines in April 2015 after
slowly building on the scene for
several months. Users tore off
clothes as their body tempera-
tures spiked to 105 degrees.
Some hallucinated that they
were gods or that they were be-
ing chased.
One man impaled himself on
a police department fence he
tried to scale to escape his imagi-
nary pursuers.
Over 16 months, 63 flakka
users died in Fort Lauderdale
and its suburbs — overdoses, ac-
cidents, suicides and homicides,
according to law enforcement
officials.
Then, about tlnee months
ago, it stopped.
“I have never seen a drug gain
popularity so rapidly and be
eliminated so quickly,” Broward
Sheriff Scott Israel said.
