These drugs, often sold as \u201cbath salts\u201d, \u201cair freshener\u201d or \u201cplant food\u201d, were legal and relatively inexpensive. However, this assumption proved false. The sale and consumption of NPS has stagnated at a low level and, in some cases, even declined.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When the sale of NPS first began, dealers claimed that these substances couldn\u2019t be harmful because they weren\u2019t illegal. Since then, however, it has become widely known among consumers that NPS have unpredictable side-effects, ranging from circulatory collapse to psychosis and even death. As little research has been done on these substances and emergency response teams have had barely any training in this area, being admitted to hospital provides no guarantee of recovery. In many cases, the reason for the patient\u2019s poor condition is not identified or there is no proven counteragent to administer. The continued appeal of these psychoactive substance is due, above all, to the fact that they are still partly legal\u00a0\u2013 even if this status is only temporary.<\/p>\n<p>Legislators worldwide have become more effective in dealing with NPS and new, modified versions are being classed as illegal with increasing efficiency. Legislation is supported by improved analysis methods and by the fact that entire substance groups are now being banned, rather then individual substances\u00a0\u2013 as in the early days of NPS. This is increasingly acting as a deterrent for potential consumers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11052\" style=\"width: 906px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11052\" class=\"wp-image-11052 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/New-psychoactive-substances-Number-and-substance_EN.png\" alt=\"Illustration showing new psychoactive substances in number and categories\" width=\"896\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/New-psychoactive-substances-Number-and-substance_EN.png 896w, https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/New-psychoactive-substances-Number-and-substance_EN-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/New-psychoactive-substances-Number-and-substance_EN-768x486.png 768w, https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/New-psychoactive-substances-Number-and-substance_EN-705x446.png 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 896px) 100vw, 896px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11052\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Number and substance classes of new psychoactive substances first reported to the EU Early Warning System between 2008 and 2019. <\/strong> Source: EMCDDA, Lisbon<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>NPS \u2013 what exactly are they?<\/h2>\n<p>New psychoactive substances (NPS) is a collective term to describe a wide and diverse range of chemically manufactured drugs. This includes stimulants, synthetic cannabinoids, benzodiazepines, opioids, hallucinogens and dissociatives.<\/p>\n<p>These substances go by many different names. The designations \u201cdesigner drugs\u201d, \u201clegal highs\u201d, \u201cherbal highs\u201d, \u201cresearch chemicals\u201d and \u201cbath salt drugs\u201d are umbrella terms. Meanwhile, \u201cspice\u201d, \u201ctoilet cleaner\u201d, \u201cair freshener\u201d, \u201cbath salts\u201d and \u201cplant food\u201d are misnomers used to label the end products, usually in conjunction with an appealing packaging design. Synthetic cannabinoids are usually sold with names suggestive of plant-based products. Products sold as bath salts are usually synthetic cathinones. These substances are sold as herbal mixtures or as crystals, powder, pills or capsules. Liquid variants are also available. The drugs are smoked, swallowed, injected, or snorted like cocaine.<\/p>\n<p>Every time a person consumes an NPS, they are essentially embarking on an experiment with an unknown outcome. The result is always uncertain, regardless of which substance is taken and in which form. As they are not manufactured by professionals, NPS vary widely in their content, no declaration is provided on the packaging, and each individual sachet in a pack may contain varying quantities of active ingredients. NPS have received a lot of bad press recently, in particular due to their dangerous side-effects and a growing number of deaths linked to their use.<\/p>\n<p>NPS produce a high similar to that produced by LSD and induce a state of relaxation. In many cases, however, consumers become more aggressive, overestimate their own abilities and lose touch with reality\u00a0\u2013 making them a danger both to themselves and to those around them (e.g., when driving under the influence).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-2cs86x-a44fa5e9317b58e0fb7f8dcfc1ff89e9 hr-default  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mn31g8h0-35c042a022090fdc5487493d436172ec '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>What DrugWipe<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> detects<\/h3>\n<p>Drug tests ensure certainty for all involved and bring clarity to contentious situations. To do so, they must work flawlessly. The DrugWipe saliva test ensures reliable, safe and fast detection of cannabis, opiates, cocaine, amphetamines and methamphetamines (MDMA, ecstasy). DrugWipe therefore detects all drugs listed in Section 24a of the German Road Traffic Act (Strassenverkehrsgesetz, StVG). Of course, driving can also be negatively affected by prescription drugs, NPS or drugs from Appendix I of the German Narcotics Act (BtMG). Special DrugWipe versions are available for benzodiazepines, ketamine, buprenorphine and methadone. These can be detected in saliva, on surfaces, and in sweat.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-33hqzo-f9cbc2a55e1506c054dc207f27653ea5 hr-default  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mnoh3k46-d258c61e919dae2acd9f0316aa7468c4 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>Outlawed worldwide<\/h3>\n<p>NPS are available worldwide. Most countries are working on making these substances illegal. Countries where they are manufactured have also committed to combating these drugs. These include China, where a new regulation governing cannabinoid substances has come into effect on 1 July.<\/p>\n<p>Most European states are acting in concert on this issue. Shortly after the turn of the century, the EU Commission recommended entire substance groups to be used as a basis for the legal control of NPS. In Germany, the New Psychoactive Substances Act (\u201cNeue-psychoaktive-Stoffe-Gesetz\u201d, NpSG) was introduced in 2016 and amended in 2019 and 2020. Corresponding legislation has been in place in Austria since 2012 and in Switzerland since 2011. Great Britain imposed a general ban on psychoactive substances in 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-371nxt-943b01c66f283990178f02ab21b2bac5 hr-default  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mn4kguxf-613abad39bc51b20f6f6272e4c89f225 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-723 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/s503g-frei-300x68.png\" alt=\"Drogenschnelltest DrugWipe S 503 G\" width=\"300\" height=\"68\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/s503g-frei-300x68.png 300w, https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/s503g-frei-768x175.png 768w, https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/s503g-frei-705x161.png 705w, https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/s503g-frei.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\nFast, reliable drug detection in saliva, on surfaces and in sweat\u00a0\u2013 just ask, we\u2019re always happy to help.<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-mluuwmob-eec218320ab71a1275f0b8372667197c hr-default  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mluuqu8f-4c6bf32995833a88b8b63b59e3d3c18c '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">References: European Drug Report 2020, EMCDDA, Februar 2021, Lisbon; Evaluierung der Auswirkungen des Gesetzes zur Bek\u00e4mpfung der Verbreitung neuer psychoaktiver Stoffe (NpSG) [\u201cEvaluation of the Effects of the New Psychoactive Substances Act (NpSG)\u201d] \u2013 EVA NpSG, Bundestag-Drucksache 18\/9699\/Seite 8; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drugcom.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drugcom.de<\/a>, Bundeszentrale f\u00fcr gesundheitliche Aufkl\u00e4rung (BZgA) (Federal Centre for Health Education), Cologne<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">Image scource: Securetec AG; Imago Images Bild- Nr. 80169741; YouTube, Google Ireland Limited, IRL, Dublin.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-20kcv3-fb1157b8f4b4ac8bee1de96942828add\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-20kcv3-fb1157b8f4b4ac8bee1de96942828add{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-20kcv3-fb1157b8f4b4ac8bee1de96942828add hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mmt4nfqo-92052e20f9963c231fac36d9a5f0878e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\"><div class='w3eden'><!-- WPDM Link Template: Default Template -->\n\n<div class=\"link-template-default card mb-2\">\n    <div class=\"card-body\">\n        <div class=\"media\">\n            <div class=\"mr-3 img-48\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpdm_icon\" alt=\"Icon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/plugins\/download-manager\/assets\/file-type-icons\/pdf.svg\" \/><\/div>\n            <div class=\"media-body\">\n                <h3 class=\"package-title\"><a href='https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/download\/securetec-newsletter-new-psychoactive-substances-nps\/'>Securetec newsletter: New psychoactive substances NPS<\/a><\/h3>\n                <div class=\"text-muted text-small\"><i class=\"fas fa-copy\"><\/i> 1 file(s) <i class=\"fas fa-hdd ml-3\"><\/i> 976.31 KB<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"ml-3\">\n                <a class='wpdm-download-link download-on-click btn btn-primary ' rel='nofollow' href='#' data-downloadurl=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/download\/securetec-newsletter-new-psychoactive-substances-nps\/?wpdmdl=5502&refresh=6ac518b5b6e701791301813\">Download<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the first psychoactive substances (NPS for short) appeared on the market at the turn of the century, many people feared that they would flood the market and dazzle consumers.
