Abstract
The rapidly increasing trend of the use of psychoactive substances among youth is alarming. The lack of awareness about their harmful health effects leads to their misuse. Hence, their manufacture, possession, and use are kept under control by the Government. Fast identification and quantification of these substances are of paramount importance. The methods like HPTLC and HPLC have been extensively used for their analysis and quantification. This review article covers the basics of psychoactive substances, their addictions, regulations, analysis, and identification with the help of HPTLC and HPLC.
