Canada-based accessory company Aroha Silhouettes has created a series of [neck jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-necklace) that has everything to do with drugs. In a completely original drug addictions collection called Wearable Vices, Tania Hennessy, the owner of Aroha Silhouettes, has mixed fashion with drugs in a molecular, scientific kind of way. She has created six original necklaces for her [designer drug series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-market). The necklaces range from molecularly simplistic to more complicated molecular structures.

Each item is made from lightweight stainless steel finished in a smooth matte black powdered coating, complete with a beautiful gun metal chain. The collection includes ‘The Coffee and Cigarettes Necklace,’ ‘The Caffeine and Nicotine Molecules,’ ‘The Overdose Necklace,’ a combination of LSD, cocaine, THC, MDMA and Psylocybin, ‘The Spliff Necklace,’ ‘The Tripping Balls Necklace,’ ‘The Hallucinogenic Necklace’ with LSF, DMT and Psylocybin.
