Bromo Dragonfly Research Paper The Bromo Dragonfly--also known as Bromo-benzodifuranyl-isopropylamine, 3C-Bromo-Dragonfly, or DOB-Dragonfly-- is an uncommon drug, mainly known in the United Kingdom and in the United States. Although it is not really known around the world, many countries/states have put restrictions on the use of this drug due to its potential of being abused. While the drug does not have many long term effects, if it is not used in moderation, it can be very dangerous and may even result in death.

This may be caused by the fact that it is a chemical that does not have a lot of history regarding human use. However, it has been reported that there have been several deaths due to drug
