The Food and Drug Administration has announced the results of its latest illegal drug abuse survey. Ranking first was amphetamines, followed by ketamine, ecstasy and marijuana. Of particular note, new drugs that are repackaged compound drugs that have appeared in the last few years made the rankings for the first time, placing fifth. Most drug users are young people and the place drugs are most often used are the homes of classmates or friends. Seventy percent use drugs out of curiosity.
New recreational drugs that have appeared in Taiwan in recent years are often disguised as coffee, cigarette, beverage, or stamp packets.
According to a Food and Drug Administration survey, most users of these new drugs are young people with no disparity in gender. Most try drugs for the first time at the homes of classmates or friends, with 70 percent citing curiosity as the reason.
They think it's just a package of instant noodles or a packet of coffee. They don't know there are drugs inside. If someone they know gives it to them, they may ingest (the drugs) accidentally.
The administration says amphetamines are still the top illegal drug in Taiwan, followed by ketamine, ecstasy and marijuana. New compound drugs appeared on the list for the first time, ranking fifth.
Accidental ingestion could lead to addiction or even death due to the possibility of drug interaction or overdose.
The source and dosage (of the drugs) are unknown, so they could result in an extreme reaction like overdose or severe bodily harm.
According to the survey, 204,000 people in Taiwan have used narcotics and nine in 10 people say anti-drug education should be part of school curriculums. The administration says people should not try drugs out of momentary curiosity because they could hurt themselves and their wallets.
照片中這些咖啡包、彩虹菸，甚至液態飲料、郵票等常見生活用品，其實是新興毒品，食藥署最新調查發現，這類新興毒品使用者，大多集中在年輕族群，而且沒有性別差異，首次使用地點、大多是同學或朋友家裡，首次使用動機、七成是因為好奇。
食藥署管制藥品組長 朱玉如表示：「他以為只是一個小王子麵啊，只是一個咖啡包啊，他不知道裡面是有毒的，那如果萬一又是熟人提供，他可能會不小心誤食。」
食藥署表示，各種非法藥物中，最常被使用的仍然是安非他命，其次是K他命、搖頭丸及大麻；值得注意的是，近年來出現的新興毒品，也就是改裝型混合式毒品，在本次調查中首次納入、就排名第五，
若不小心吸食，很可能因為不同藥物交互作用，加上劑量過多，成癮風險高，也有猝死危機。
台大公衛學院教授 陳為堅表示：「它因為這個來路不明，劑量可能也不定，所以有時候容易產生極端的作用，也產生過量，甚至會對身體造成嚴重的損害啦！」
此外，調查還發現，國內約有20萬4千多人曾經使用過非法藥物，有九成民眾認為，反毒教育應納入學校正規課程學習；食藥署提醒民眾，新興毒品包裝、千奇百怪，千萬不要因一時好奇而嘗試，傷財又傷身。
