Psychiatric and addictologic complications of new synthetic products. New synthetic products (NSP) have completely changed the current scene of addictions. Also known as designer drugs, legal highs, herbal highs, bath salts, plant fertilizers, incense, research chemicals, they have made their emergence on the drug market in the late 1990s. Legal or herbal highs consist of uncontrolled psychoactive substances, obtained by chemical synthesis or derived from plants. Essentially produced in China and India, but also in Europe, their diffusion brings new communication technologies, fixes the offer and directs the users' demand on this specific market. They are mostly sold over the Internet and are generally a "legal" pseudo- alternative to controlled and regulated psychoactive products. They are consumed because of their effects mimicking those of an illicit substance such as cocaine, amphetamine, methamphetamine, cannabis, opioids for example. NSP induce numerous psychiatric, somatic, addictologic and social complications.
新型合成产品的精神科及成瘾相关并发症。新型合成产品（NSP）彻底改变了当前成瘾问题的局面。它们也被称为设计型毒品、合法兴奋剂、草本兴奋剂、浴盐、植物肥料、香薰、科研化学品，于20世纪90年代末出现在毒品市场。合法或草本兴奋剂由通过化学合成获得或源自植物的不受管制的精神活性物质组成。它们主要在中国、印度生产，欧洲也有生产，其传播借助新的通信技术，确定了供应并引导了该特定市场上用户的需求。它们大多通过互联网销售，通常是受管制和规范的精神活性产品的“合法”伪替代品。人们因它们能模拟可卡因、苯丙胺、甲基苯丙胺、大麻、阿片类药物等非法物质的效果而使用。新型合成产品会引发众多精神科、躯体、成瘾相关及社会并发症。
