New Psychoactive Substances (NPS): Synthetic Stimulants/Synthetic Cannabinoids

ISSUP is pleased to present a new webinar initiative – a series on New Psychoactive Substances (NPS). The First Webinar in the series is hosted by ISSUP Indonesia and focuses on 'New Psychoactive Substances (NPS): Synthetic Stimulants/Synthetic Cannabinoids'. Synthetic stimulants - cathinones, or also known as “Bath salts” (Alpha-PHP, 4-CMC, N-ethylhexedrone, other) mirror the same effects of illicit drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine, and MDMA. These synthetic chemicals in bath salts are very toxic and highly addictive. Their consumption is linked to increases in visits to emergency rooms and poison control centers (https://archives.drugabuse.gov/blog/p.... Synthetic cannabinoids (“synthetic marijuana,” “Spice,” “K2”) are various man made chemicals that some people may use as an alternative to marijuana. It is usually sold in 'herbal' smoking mixtures. Synthetic cannabinoids are more potent than natural cannabis, and, therefore, easier to use too much. This make the use of these products potentially very harmful and even life threatening.
