designer drugs
Etymology: L, de + signare, to mark
synthetic organic compounds that are designed as analogs of illicit drugs, with the same opioid or other dangerous effects. Because designer drugs are generally not listed as controlled substances by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, prosecution of manufacturers, distributors, or users is frequently difficult.

designer drugs,
n.pl the synthetic organic compounds that are designed as analogs of illicit drugs and have the same narcotic or other dangerous effects.
