動物麻醉藥替來他明恐成下個依托咪酯 警政署:未濫用前先列第1級毒品

Quick Look

學者與警政署於研討會指出,「喪屍煙彈」依托咪酯氾濫,動物麻醉藥「替來他明」恐成下個替代毒品。警政署表示,已在該物質尚未大規模氾濫前提前納入第1級毒品管制,防範未然。

Why It Matters

近年新興毒品依托咪酯類毒品快速蔓延,被添加於電子煙煙彈中形成社會治安與公共安全隱患。

〔中央社〕近年「喪屍煙彈」新興毒品依托咪酯類毒品快速蔓延,醫師提醒動物麻醉藥「替來他明」管制不嚴格,恐成下個依托咪酯;警政署回應替來他明未濫用前,與依託咪脂並列第1級毒品。

台北醫學大學衛政中心今天下午舉行「新興毒品防制法制改革與治理策略」研討會,從法制改革、犯罪防制、醫療戒治及兒少保護4大面向,系統性探討喪屍煙彈犯罪趨勢與查緝機制,進一步凝聚政府、醫療界與民間團體對新興毒品防制及跨部門合作機制的共識。

台北醫學大學精神科酒藥癮暨自殺防治中心主治醫師洪珊指出,依托咪酯(Etomidate)最早主要用於鎮靜及麻醉,近年來,依托咪酯逐漸從醫療用途轉變為新興濫用物質,並被添加於電子煙煙彈中,出現「上頭菸」、「喪屍菸」或「神奇煙彈」等俗稱。

洪珊說,由於煙彈使用方便,使用者可能在駕駛、工作或搭乘交通工具使用,增加意外及公共安全風險。依托咪酯可能造成意識改變、肌肉張力下降或類似「喪屍」的僵直狀態,若發生在駕駛過程中,尤其危險。

她認為,除了管制物質本身,降低使用便利性是減少危害可思考方向。相較之下,部分傳統毒品需要特定器具或施用方式,使用者較難在駕駛等情境立即使用;添加於電子煙煙彈具高度便利性,因此如何降低取得及使用便利程度,是公共衛生與減害政策可關注議題。

洪珊指出,除了依托咪酯之外,另一個值得關注的是動物用麻醉藥「替來他明」。這類物質與依托咪酯一樣,原本具有醫療或動物醫療用途,但若管制、取得或流通出現漏洞,就可能被轉作非法用途。

內政部警政署刑事警察局偵查第三大隊副大隊長兼毒品查緝中心執行祕書長鄭偉豪說,現在毒品替換的速度超乎想像,警方在查緝製毒工廠的過程中,發現「替來他明」這項物質,後續進一步了解才發現,毒品市場早已開始尋找依托咪酯以外的替代物質。

「我們還在討論依托咪酯、還在進行修法,人家早就已經在找替代毒品。」鄭偉豪說,面對新興毒品快速替代的問題,毒品管制制度也持續調整,感謝立法院支持相關修法,未來將朝「一次性列管」的方向強化管理,就是對結構或作用相近的物質一併納入管制。

「一次性列管」可避免等到新興毒品大量流行才逐一修法。鄭偉豪指出,這次「替來他明」因應依托咪酯的管制趨勢,在尚未大規模氾濫之前就提前納入管制,並列為第一級毒品,希望透過提前管制,降低其進一步流入毒品市場及擴大濫用的風險。

Open Questions

  • 替來他明在基層醫療動物用藥市場流失的實際漏洞為何?
  • 一次性列管政策能否有效遏止毒品市場尋找其他替代物質?

Eat less sugar before the age of 2, reduce the risk of liver cancer by 69% and slow down aging by 2 years

Nephrologist Jiang Shoushan shared a British study that showed that people who experience sugar restriction in the first 1,000 days of life before the age of 2 have a lower risk of developing five types of cancers including breast cancer, prostate cancer, and liver cancer as adults. The incidence of liver cancer dropped by 69%, and the rate of biological aging was also slowed down by about 2.2 years.
