Details

Report of the ACMD on the synthetic opioid known as MT-45. The ACMD is continuing to review materials which may present sufficient risk to the UK to merit control under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. The materials being monitored include the synthetic opioids, a diverse range of compounds which, by their ability to suppress respiratory function, can present a particular and potentially lethal hazard to users.
