"The problem lies not in these particular substances, but in the model of drug prohibition that we keep trying to reproduce. Some of the dangers of new synthetic drugs come from the criminalization model, where there is no room for a regulated market. So while the federal and state governments rush out to prohibit every new substance that appears, they are avoiding tackling the intrinsic problems of the illegal market. We’ve yet to analyze the deeply rooted causes of drug use and addiction; public health aspects are being relegated as are investment in prevention or treatment."
