Synthetic cathinones are currently Class B drugs. The Crime, Policing and Fire Minister, Chris Philp, wrote to the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs to commission an updated harms assessment.
He asked for the assessment to consider whether certain synthetic cathinones are significantly more harmful than others and should be treated differently.
