Toxicidade de novas drogas de abuso de origem vegetal

Abstract

Alguns produtos de origem vegetal estão a emergir como populares drogas de abuso para uso recreativo. Apesar do seu potencial de abuso e possíveis efeitos adversos graves, estes produtos são vistos como seguros e a falta de legislação torna-os legais. Esta situação e a facilidade com que estão disponíveis levou a que estas substâncias sejam conhecidas também como legal highs. De entre as muitas legal highs disponíveis o kratom, a sálvia e o khat estão entre os mais conhecidos e são amplamente usados. Estudos sobre a sua toxicidade demonstram haver efeitos adversos, evidenciando assim que podem não ser produtos completamente seguros e representar um perigo para a saúde pública.

Some herbal products are emerging as popular drugs for recreational abuse. Despite the potential for abuse and serious adverse effects, these products are seen like safe and the lack of legislation make them legal. This situation and the ease of accessibility, make these products known as legal highs. From the great number of available legal highs kratom, salvia and khat are the most well-known and largely used. Researches about their toxicity show that there are adverse effects, so these products can be no completely safe and representing a danger for public health.
