The new psychoactive substances (NPS) in Colombia are detected by national authorities, in blotters strip, in different circumstances and places: airports, music concerts, discos and parks. Blotters are marketed as LSD and cause several cases of intoxication and death in some consumers: due to acute intoxication or when mixed with other drugs and may have different effects on the central nervous system (CNS). This study was conducted to research into and identify the chemical composition of the drugs impregnated in the blotters sold in two Colombian cities. This research provides the analysis of 70 doses coming from forensic cases of the Colombian Attorney General's Office in Bogota and from the Laboratory of Narcotics of the Colombian National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences (North Headquarter) in Barranquilla. Mixtures of drugs, such as DOB, 25I-NBOMe, MDMA and 25I-NBOMe imine were found within the blotters through gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (CGMS); these drugs are classified by international authorities as NPS belonging to the phenylethylamines group. The results clearly warn about a growing public health problem in the country.
哥伦比亚国家主管部门在机场、音乐演唱会、迪斯科舞厅和公园等不同地点和情况下，在滤纸上发现了新精神活性物质（NPS）。这些滤纸上印有 LSD，一些消费者在使用后出现了中毒和死亡的情况：可能是由于急性中毒，也可能是与其他药物混合使用，并且可能对中枢神经系统（CNS）产生不同的影响。这项研究旨在研究和识别在哥伦比亚两个城市出售的滤纸上浸渍的药物的化学成分。这项研究分析了来自波哥大哥伦比亚总检察长办公室和巴兰基亚哥伦比亚国家法医科学和毒品实验室（北部总部）的法医案例中的 70 个剂量。通过气相色谱-质谱联用仪（CGMS）发现滤纸上存在 DOB、25I-NBOMe、MDMA 和 25I-NBOMe 亚胺等药物混合物；这些药物被国际权威机构归类为属于苯乙胺类的 NPS。这些结果清楚地警告了该国日益严重的公共卫生问题。
