CHAPTER 01: INTRODUCTION

In recent years, the number of new synthetic drug substances and products containing one or more of these substances increased. At the same time a large number of online stores have these products offered and provide high availability. It means that the use of these drugs has increased intoxication and is in need of treatment, at times some treatment is possible with psychotic, and other conditions were related.
