Abstract

With the use of psychotomimetic compounds, psychiatric hospitalizations have seen a definite increase over the last few years, at least in the European scene. This paper offers an overview of the most frequently abused recreational drugs, including ecstasy and ecstasy look-alikes, cocaine/crack cocaine, amphetamines, poppers, cathinones, LSD, DMT, methylphenidate, GHB, dextromethorphan, ketamine, and smart drugs/smart drinks. We also provide an overview of the legislative and epidemiological issues related to compulsory psychiatric treatments in the United Kingdom.
