Abstract
|
|
|
Narcotics, psychotropic substances, and marihuana are controlled by ¡®Act on the control of narcotics, ETC¡¯, ¡®the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs¡¯, or ¡®the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances¡¯. However, the abuse of new psychoactive substances (NPS) is an emerging problem in Korea. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), about 600 NPS are defined and rapid identification methods for NPS need to be developed. Nevertheless, several counter measures have been enforced in Korea. In the present study, 33 NPS including synthetic cannabinoids, phenethylamines, tryptamines, and aminoindanes were tested using Marquis, Duquenois-Levine, Zwikker, Madelin, and Liebermann reagents. Furthermore, we suggested a coloring test sequence for the preliminary identification of unknown substances.
