Synthetic Cathinones Stored in Biological Evidence Can Be Unstable
Date Published
February 11, 2018
Synthetic cathinones, a class of mood-altering stimulants popular among recreational drug users, can be unstable when stored in blood or urine samples, and may be problematic when used as evidence in court.
