Details

This report is concerned with advice on the issue of novel psychoactive substances (NPS), sometimes known as 鈥榣egal highs鈥�. NPS are drugs which mimic, or are claimed to mimic, the effects of illegal drugs. There is a common, but mistaken, perception that because such drugs are not legally controlled or banned they are safe.
