The administration of new psychoactive substances (NPS), in particular synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists (SCRAs), via e-cigarettes, within prison settings has been well publicized. This study provides an overview of five e-cigarette case samples seized from Scottish prisons between May 2022 and July 2023 where the anabolic-androgenic steroids (AASs) mestanolone and oxandrolone were identified following gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. These e-cigarette samples represented 2.9% of all samples containing e-cigarette cartridges (n = 170) and 9.4% of all samples found to contain AASs (n = 53) seized during the same time period. The AASs were detected in combination with other drugs, including cocaine, Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ-THC), SCRAs and nicotine. This represents a new and novel route of administration for AASs.
电子烟在监狱环境中被用于管理新精神活性物质(NPS),特别是合成大麻素受体激动剂(SCRAs),这已经得到了广泛的宣传。本研究概述了 2022 年 5 月至 2023 年 7 月期间从苏格兰监狱缴获的五例电子烟案例样本,这些样本经过气相色谱-质谱(GC-MS)分析后,鉴定出了同化性甾体(AAS)美睾酮和羟甲烯龙。这些电子烟样本占含有电子烟墨盒的所有样本的 2.9%(n=170),占同期查获的含有 AAS 的所有样本的 9.4%(n=53)。AAS 与其他药物一起被检测到,包括可卡因、Δ-四氢大麻酚(Δ-THC)、SCRAs 和尼古丁。这代表了 AAS 管理的一种新的、新颖的途径。
