Police are warning the public about the powerful hallucinogen known as 'n-bomb.
A Christchurch Hospital emergency medicine specialist Paul Gee said recreational doses of the drug were measured in tiny microgram quantities so it was easy to use more than intended.
Dr Gee said n-bomb causes hallucinations, confusion and agitation, sometimes leading to uncontrollable violent behaviour.
There have been deaths associated with the drug in Australia and Asia.
