Summary
alpha-PVP is an extremely potent synthetic stimulant with a very short history of human use and minimal safety data. It is notorious for inducing powerful compulsive redosing, severe paranoia, psychosis, and excited delirium at high doses or during binges. Vaporized administration carries especially high overdose risk due to rapid onset. The substance has been linked to numerous hospitalizations, violent behavior, and deaths. Harm reduction practices are absolutely critical.
