Pharmacology of Novel Psychoactive Substances

Migrated topic.
That's a hell of a resource.

In the European Union (EU), 41 novel psychoactive substances were identified for the first time in 2010, 49 in 2011, 73 in 2012, 81 in 2013, and 37 by April 2014 within the European Early Warning System [2]. By 2014, more than 300 novel substances have been detected since 2005. Currently, more than one new substance is identified in one of the EU countries every week.


This is a sad (considering the casualties), but necessary part of the anti-prohibitionist struggle. It's getting absurd and legislation can't keep up. Some countries have laws addressing analogs, but it must be expensive to have experts analyze hundreds of little-known substances and testify in court. Afaik, the U.S. government rarely uses the Analog Act; it seems to exist as more of a scarecrow than anything, and analogs of C-III, C-IV, and C-V substances (e.g. etizolam) are completely unregulated (again, this is just U.S. law).
 
Thank you for the information, novel psychoactive substances are a key interest of mine, and I try to accumulate as much quality information on the topic as possible.
