The ACMD was commissioned in May 2023 by the previous Minister of State for Crime, Policing and Fire to provide an updated harms assessment of 3,4-Methylenedioxy-?-pyrrolidinohexiophenone (MDPHP) and other synthetic cathinones under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.

The report considers the harms and control of synthetic cathinones and includes recommendations to reduce their harms across the UK.
