Drugs and street drugs / media nomenclature-usage
Kids use so-called “safe synthetics” mixed with Schedule II narcotics.
The sentence is part of a short report/documentary on “drug usage”. Is there some specific Spanish nomenclature for “safe synthetics”.
I’d think something on the lines of “drogas sintéticas ‘seguras’”... with double and single quotation marks, because I am not sure at all.
I am asking the same for “Schedule II narcotics”... (a renglón seguido).
TIA!

Drogas sintéticas "seguras"
Ya que la adicción de las personas las lleva a buscar excusas, es lo más común llamar "seguro" a algo que quieres consumir. Usar el término "seguro" y añadirle comillas es lo más apropiado porque lo que se ha publicado acerca de ellas es que NO SON seguras, aunque la gente QUIERE pensar que lo son.
En las noticias "seguras" no se usa con comillas, pero creo que la naturaleza educativa de un documental amerita que se ayude al espectador a entender que no lo son y por eso yo usaría las comillas.
