Thirty-four new types of new psychoactive substances, or NPS, were discovered in the past year, bringing the total number of such chemicals to 230.

2017年全年新发现新精神活性物质34种,国内已累计发现230余种。

新精神活性物质(new psychoactive substances,NPS),又称第三代毒品,指为逃避执法打击而对列管毒品进行化学结构修饰所得到的毒品类似物(a range of drugs that have been designed to mimic established illicit drugs),未被国际禁毒公约管制,但具有与管制毒品相似或更强的兴奋、致幻或麻痹效果(induce a similar or stronger psychoactive effect)。此前我们说过的“笑气(laughing gas)”就属于新精神活性物质。

在毒品滥用(drug abuse)的类型方面,合成毒品(synthetic drugs)滥用仍居首位。

报告显示,中国毒品来源于境外输入和国内制造。其中,境外毒品来源主要表现在三个方面:

“金三角”毒品渗透加剧(drugs smuggled from the Golden Triangle region was on the rise),合成毒品入境增多;

“金新月”毒品产量大幅增长(drug production in the Golden Crescent region has also increased significantly),海洛因走私入境增多;

南美可卡因大宗过境中转增势迅猛(international drug traffickers are increasingly using the Chinese mainland as a transit hub for cocaine from South America)。

与此同时,随着互联网、物流快递等新业态迅猛发展,不法分子越来越多地应用现代技术手段,全方位利用陆海空邮渠道走私贩运毒品,贩毒手段的科技化、智能化明显升级。

The Internet has become a platform for traffickers to collude and make transactions.

互联网成为贩毒人员勾连交易的平台。
