Recently, among these, synthetic opioids are growing in number and prevalence of use, leaving behind them severe intoxications and victims, and fuelling the illicit drug market, particularly on the Dark Net. Further attention should be drawn to this alarming phenomenon, from both clinicians and policymakers. |
