FRANÇAIS :
Ce rapport révise les connaissances actuelles en matière de nouvelles substances psychoactives et compare comment les autorités de santé répondent aux défis associés à ces substances. ENGLISH: The vexed issue of synthetic drugs is the subject of this edition. It reviews the nature of the 'new psychoactive drugs', why they pose difficulties for health authorities around the world, and how different countries, including Australia, are taking action to control them or reduce their availability. Authors Geoff Munro and Chris Wilkins give special attention to the policy adopted by New Zealand that is attracting much attention world-wide. Under recent New Zealand legislation, unknown psychoactive drugs can be offered for legal sale to adults if they are found to be ‘low risk’ for human consumption. However as 'No Easy Answer' points out there are several questions still to be resolved in New Zealand including how 'low risk' will be defined, how the new substances will be regulated, whether the legal regime will result in more drug taking and whether related harm decrease or increase. |
