- This paper set out inter-disciplinary methods to risk assess potent emerging drugs of abuse. It led to invited presentations and the data has been utilised in synthetic cannabinoid risk assessments at the national and international level, including an assessment on whether synthetic cannabinoids should be moved from class B to class A substances under the UK Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (as amended). It led to a much larger scale study on the profiling, pharmacology and risk assessment of synthetic cannabinoids in prisons, further informing international drug risk assessments. The work is funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
