I could think of worse ways to go.

Hey have you heard about this new drug. I say it briefly on the news the other night. It comes from South Africa or something. Looks similar to pot. They say it's cheaper than pot too but its effects are more similar to cocaine. I've been looking for any info online but can't find any.

Hmmm. This might be it. Doesn't seem to be new, but it is a buzz word the media likes to use.
