What Are Some Challenges in Psychoactive Substance Toxicology?
The complexity of psychoactive substance toxicology lies in the vast diversity of substances and their ever-evolving nature. Novel psychoactive substances (NPS), often known as designer drugs, pose significant challenges due to their rapid emergence and lack of comprehensive toxicological data. Additionally, individual variability in response to these substances, influenced by genetic, environmental, and psychosocial factors, complicates risk assessment and management.
