Sažetak
The last two years have seen a record number of new substances identifi ed for the fi rst time in Europe. Also, in recent times in Croatia, the use of psychoactive substances has increased. In the last two years, at least 35 new substances appeared, most of which belong to three major groups. A group of synthetic cannabinoids is the largest group of new substances. A common characteristic of these substances is the functional similarity with the Δ9- tetrahydrocannabinol. The following is a group of synthetic cathinones, substances which have the structure of cathinone as a common characteristic and act as stimulants. This group also includes compounds which contain pyrrolidine ring other than cathinone structure, which makes pyrovalerone structure their common characteristic. The last signifi cant group is a group of compounds with the basic structure of phenylethylamine. Substances in this group are divided into two subgroups, hallucinogenic and stimulant substituted phenylethylamines. Of other compounds, there are one aliphatic amine and substances whose structure is based on benzodiazepines, aminoindanes or aminobenzoates.
