This article represents a short review of the current knowledge on the abuse of synthetic cannabinoids from the perspective of the Division of Enforcement and Inspection of the Israeli Ministry of Health - a body in charge of providing professional assistance to law enforcement bodies in the fields of drug abuse. We describe the principal changes observed in the synthetic cannabinoid market and the Israeli legislators' and enforcement bodies' attempts to cope with these phenomena. These changes relate to the types of synthetic cannabinoids being trafficked, with many structural variations between substances, and a new legal framework which allows for the rapid, temporary scheduling of synthetic cannabinoids using both individual and generic definitions. Despite changes in legislation, we are currently witnessing the adaptation of the synthetic cannabinoid drug market to the new legal reality and enforcement practices. A considerable part of synthetic cannabinoid trafficking is carried out using phone orders, or has moved to the internet and social networks, thus making its detection difficult for enforcement bodies. Current trafficking practices represent a growing challenge for enforcement bodies. Hence, there is a need for cooperation between enforcement bodies, the Israeli Ministry of Health and health practitioners in identifying new substances, and characterizing their harms.
本文从以色列卫生部执法与检查司的角度，对当前关于合成大麻素滥用的知识进行了简要回顾。该司负责在药物滥用领域向执法机构提供专业协助。我们描述了合成大麻素市场中观察到的主要变化，以及以色列立法者和执法机构应对这些现象的尝试。这些变化涉及被贩运的合成大麻素类型，不同物质之间存在许多结构差异，以及一个新的法律框架，该框架允许使用单独和通用定义对合成大麻素进行快速、临时的管制。尽管立法有所变化，但我们目前正目睹合成大麻素药物市场适应新的法律现实和执法实践。相当一部分合成大麻素贩运是通过电话订购进行的，或者已转移到互联网和社交网络，这使得执法机构难以对其进行检测。当前的贩运做法对执法机构构成了日益严峻的挑战。因此，执法机构、以色列卫生部和卫生从业人员之间需要合作，以识别新物质并确定其危害特征。
