New Psychoactive Substances (NPS)
A new narcotic drug or a new psychotropic

"Emerging substances that are used for
psychotropic effects that are not subject
to control under the United Nations

'legal highs' in professional discussion
New Psychoactive Substances

New Psychoactive Substances (NPS)
NPS
Some NPS contain molecules that might share
similar effects and profiles of MDMA that they
are designed to mimic
Synthetic cathinones can evoke stimulant and
empathogenic effects similar to ATS, including
MDMA
 Reports of seized “ecstasy” tablets that have
been found to contain little or no MDMA
NPS
Share similar effects and profiles of
substances under international control
that they are designed to mimic.
9 NPS substance groups have been
identified.
Synthetic cannabinoids (e.g. JWH-018151)
are mimetics of THC (delta-9Tetrahydrocannabinol), the main
psychoactive substance of cannabis.
NPS
Several NPS mimicking the effects of ATS
belong to the synthetic cathinone group
which have stimulant and empathogenic
properties,
and the phenethylamine group which
includes substances that can induce
stimulant and hallucinogenic effects.
UNODC 2015
East, South-East Asia and Oceania 
- the largest number of ATS
(excl. “ecstasy”) users worldwide
at almost 9.5 million users
- the largest number of “ecstasy” users
at 3.9 million.
The scope and availability of NPS has rapidly
expanded
