Alarming drugs in the last decade, what do we know about them?

 Drug addiction is defined as a chronic mental illness in which behavioural changes occur as a compulsive
search for the substance and appearance of a negative emotional state when it is not present.
At present, it is a great social and health problem in this country. In contrast to the well-known
historical drugs, new substances have been emerging over the last decades, mainly synthesized
and made in clandestine laboratories, which seek to produce a similar or much greater effect than
the original drug. The objective of this work is to further the knowledge of these new emerging
drugs in order to learn their effects and consequences after consumption in order to be able to
serve new therapeutic pathways. In this manuscript, we have been compiling work over the last ten
years, with the aim of obtaining recent results in this area. The data suggests that the appearance
of new clandestine drugs (among which Ketamine, GHB, cannibal drug and synthetic cannabinoids
stand out) in recent years constitutes a factor that adds to the serious problem of drug addiction
in society and that more studies are necessary since the knowledge to date on these is scarce.
