Malaysia: 'Hip' drugs need repellent names

Gulf Times, Qatar

Wednesday 12 Jul 2006

---
KUALA LUMPUR: A top Malaysian anti-drug official has urged for
glamorous-sounding and hip names of party drugs to be dropped and
replaced with names highlighting the effects of the drugs, a news report
said yesterday.
Designer drugs such as Ecstasy and Ketamine gave the impression of a
“trendy and divine” experience for first-time drug users, said northern
Kedah state’s anti-drug agency spokesman Ariffin Man.
Suggested new names for the drugs would be “agony” and “bamboozle”, said
Ariffin.
“Likewise, all opiate drugs should be called organised killers, cannabis
as mind destroyers and ketamine as community-paralysing agents,” Ariffin
was quoted as saying by the Star daily. He said the distasteful names
would act as a psychological repellent to curious youngsters, adding
that society ought to reject the names of the drugs which were dictated
by drug manufacturers and pushers.–DPA
