The access to and use of substances that alter general states of consciousness have been a historical constant in all societies.

Moreover, they have been commonly used in controlled contexts.1 The range of substances and reasons of abuse increase day by day so that in a voluntary or involuntary, individual or social manner, society is more involved in this complex topic.
