Resumo(s)
"Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS) started emerging around two decades ago as a
response to strict prohibition laws on common illicit drugs. They have been marketed as legal
alternatives, sold openly in smartshops, dark web as adulterants of other drugs. The trend
rose noticeably in the last decade, as the number of NPS monitored by the European
Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) rose from 13 in 2008 to 730 in
2018. Among them, synthetic cathinones (SC) became the most sought for class of NPS
between users. They are particularly appealing to partygoers as some of the drugs from this
class, such as Mephedrone, give effects similar to Ecstasy (MDMA) and cocaine, and were
often cheaper and easier to obtain. As countries started to introduce restriction laws on the
use of emerging SC, in response, new modified molecules would appear right after.(...)"
