ABSTRACT

Introduction: Emerging drugs are added to the global tragedy of drugs with a growing trend of supply and demand, of which Cuba is not exempt.
Objective: To increase the relevant knowledge of emerging drugs, for which an analysis of certain characteristics that has taken this phenomenon in recent years, and the conditions that favor its production, consumption, distribution, proliferation and engagement was performed in populations each younger time.
Methods: For this we searched the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsyclNFO, EBSCO, HINARI, Dissertation Abstracts and articles identified in their bibliographies, in addition to individual searches of MEDLINE of authors who have reported information regarding the emerging drug consumption in the last five years.
Conclusions: The line between legal and illegal drugs becomes increasingly tenuous. The continuous updating of emerging drugs, knowledge of the limitations in the analytical determinations and clinical suspicion, are the only weapons to monitor the changing world of these substances, which become a serious social and health problem. For its development, commercialization and availability, there is no doubt that we are facing the emergence of an innovative market and extremely dynamic, highly accessible, globalized, sophisticated and very attractive to young people, favoring large international drug mafias for the great benefits economic derived from illegal trade in a globalized and neoliberal world.
