The high lasts for a couple hours and users are left with a strong desire to use again . Users have nicknamed the drug ' $ 5 insanity ' because hits often cost less than $ 10 , according to the Sun-Sentinel . There were more than 670 Flakka occurrences in Florida in 2014 , up from 85 in 2012 and zero in 2010 , according to the Drug Enforcement Administration .
