本文描述了对2008年27家在线药品零售商销售非法药品的合法替代品的描述性分析的结果，这些非法药品通常被称为“草药兴奋剂”和“合法兴奋剂”。该研究试图量化药品零售商的在线可用性，以描述欧盟零售销售中的常见产品和特征。调查结果强调了对所提供产品缺乏客观信息的担忧，包括对健康的潜在风险。应制定系统来评估产品的内容和互联网上提供的信息的准确性，同时继续监测“合法高剂量”物质的市场。
This article describes the findings of a descriptive analysis of 27 online drug retailers selling legal alternatives to illegal drugs, commonly referred to as "herbal highs" and "legal highs" in 2008. The study attempted to quantify the online availability of drug retailers, to describe common products and characteristics in EU-based retail sales. The findings highlight the concern about the lack of objective information about products offered, including potential risks to health. Systems should be developed to assess the contents of products and the accuracy of information provided on the Internet, alongside continued monitoring of this market for "legal high" substances.
