The drug has come to be known as the "zombie" drug for the effect it has on its users. The ONCB had checked with its Australian counterpart which has experience in detaining people suffering from the effects of similar drugs. The Australian narcotics suppression authorities said they were unaware of any recent seizures of the drug there where the suspects were intending to smuggle it to Thailand. The substance can cause the body temperature to rise up to 40 degrees Celsius, heart failure, kidney failure and death, said the source. The ONCB has information the illicit drugs had been smuggled from a neighbouring country into Thailand before being shipped to Australia.
