Résumé :
The escalation of illicit and "legal high" drug availability via the Internet requires new law enforcement and public health initiatives to minimize harm. At the very least, continued monitoring of what is offered and sold from such sites will be needed to determine whether efforts to reduce the availability of drugs are successful, and what exactly is being supplied to the public. Education of consumers and physicians as well as further International concerted governmental interventions are needed to limit the potential scope of this problem. (Extract of the publication)
