毒品濫用已成為我國犯罪防制與公共衛生之重要議題，近年更因化學合成技術進步，使新興影響精神物質發展迅速。該類物質雖於化學結構上與傳統毒品防制法規所欲列管之物質有些微不同，然而於使用此類物質後，其效果相較某特定之毒品往往具有相同類似效果，於毒品市場上獲得「狡詐毒品」或「合法毒品」之別稱。也因該類物質不受現行毒品法規管轄，將不必擔憂相關相關毒品檢測，致使吸食者趨之若鶩。國外相關研究報告更指出此類物質廣為青少年歡迎。爰此，研析相關因應方式實有必要，本文統整國際組織與先進國家所採取之相關法律規範，並淺析於我國運用之可行性。 The drug-abuse has been the crucial issue in the field of crime prvention and public health. Due to the advancement on chemical synthesis technology, the ''Novel Psychoactive Substances'' (NPS) is evolving rapidly.
