Résumé :
We are pleased to present this special focus issue of the Journal of Medical Toxicology on emerging drugs of abuse. Since early humans first experienced euphoria with psychotropic plants more than 6,000 years ago, creative individuals have explored new ways of achieving drug-induced euphoria without getting in trouble with the law or dying. This issue is appropriately timed because the availability of new drugs has accelerated at a mind-boggling pace over the last decade. Ivory Wave? Meow Meow? Spice? These are not terms of affection for one’s significant other, but instead street names for emerging drugs of abuse readers should have heard by now and will learn more about in this issue. The drugs of abuse described in this issue are nontraditional, emerging, and web-based - so for simplicity, we will refer to them collectively as NEW drugs. [Extract]
