This publication presents the data and findings of the risk assessment on N-(1-Amino-3,3-dimethyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1-(cyclohexylmethyl)-1H-indazole-3-carboxamide (ADB-CHMINACA), carried out by the extended Scientific Committee of the EMCDDA on 7-8 November 2017. Synthetic cannabinoids such as ADB-CHMINACA are functionally similar to Δ9 -tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the major psychoactive principle of cannabis. On the basis of the Risk Assessment Report — and on the initiative of the European Commission — on 14 May 2018, the Council decided that ADB-CHMINACA should be subject to control measures across the Member States.
