description This article presents in a synthetic way considerations about the global, latent and without effective controls threat that represents the arrival of synthetic drugs or new psychoactive substances (NSP, by its acronym in Spanish). This article is based on the qualitative approach, using tools such as document review (official reports, journalistic articles, from universities and governmental and non-governmental organizations, etc.), it starts by detailing basic aspects of the context of drugs of natural and synthetic origin, then focuses on the characterization of drug use, finding the point at which current society and especially young people and children are highly vulnerable, and finally it proposes a series of strategies in order to reduce the cost of NSP.

This article presents in a synthetic way considerations about the global, latent and without effective controls threat that represents the arrival of synthetic drugs or new psychoactive substances (NSP, by its acronym in Spanish). This article is based on the qualitative approach, using tools such as document review (official reports, journalistic articles, from universities and governmental and non-governmental organizations, etc.), it starts by detailing basic aspects of the context of drugs of natural and synthetic origin, then focuses on the characterization of drug use, finding the point at which current society and especially young people and children are highly vulnerable, and finally it proposes a series of strategies in order to reduce the cost of NSP. En este artículo se estudia de forma abreviada la amenaza mundial, latente y sin controles efectivos que representa la aparición de las drogas sintéticas o nuevas sustancias psicoactivas (NSP). La metodología empleada se basa en el enfoque cualitativo, utilizando herramientas como la revisión documental (informes oficiales, artículos periodísticos, de universidades y de organizaciones gubernamentales y no gubernamentales etc.). Inicialmente se describen aspectos básicos del contexto de las drogas de origen natural y sintéticas, luego se expone la caracterización del uso de drogas y el punto en el cual la sociedad actual y en especial los jóvenes y los niños presentan gran vulnerabilidad, y en último término, se propone una serie de estrategias con el fin de reducir el cosumo de NSP.
