Health Ministry Proposes Adding Two New Substances to Psychotropic Drugs List
Share:
Slovakia's Health Ministry has proposed adding 2-methylmethcatinone and 4-bromomethcatinone to the official list of controlled psychotropic substances. The amendment responds to the emergence of new psychoactive substances in the Slovak market and is built on the principle of precautionary measures. The new legislation is scheduled to take effect on November 1, 2024, as authorities work to keep pace with evolving synthetic drug markets that often introduce chemical variants to circumvent existing laws.
