In order to prevent the abuse of substances not under international control, Turkey placed 246 new psychoactive substances under national control in 2014. In addition, article 19 of the national law on the control of drugs was supplemented with provisions on generic scheduling in January 2015. The Government of Israel has taken legislative measures to curb the growing market for new psychoactive substances and their popularity among the youth in particular.
