Résumé :
The special segment of the current issue reviews the latest developments on synthetic substances that are not under international control. Over the past months, these substances have become more widespread in established ATS (amphetamine-type stimulants) markets. They represent a particular challenge in the United States. The American Association of Poison Control Centres counted 5,226 calls related to bath salts from January 2011 to the end of September, up from 303 calls during 2010. On 7 September, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) used its emergency scheduling authority to temporarily control mephedrone, 3,4 methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) and methylone for 12 months and on 21 October the DEA published the final order on ‘bath salts' in the Federal Register designating these chemicals as Schedule I substances, the most restrictive category.
