The dangers of new pyschoactive substances

Synthetic cannabis mocks the effects of regular cannabis, but is often cheaper and more dangerous.
The proliferation of new synthetic drugs, otherwise known as new pyschoactive substances, pose a number of serious health concerns but also challenges when it comes to regulating their use as these substances can often skirt along the lines of the law.
