      Increase in NPS from 2011 to 2017.

AB  - Ecstasy is the name given to a large group of substances known as "club drugs" 
      traded in the form of tablets, powder and liquid that present a varied 
      composition, including mainly 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and 
      analogous substances, in addition to the growing presence of new psychoactive 
      substances. Based on this, clandestinely produced tablets ("ecstasy tablets") 
      seized by police in Santa Catarina in the period from 2011 to 2017 were analyzed. 
      During the study period, 3472 seizures occurred, which resulted in total 498,443 
      tablets seized. Seventy nine substances were identified. In the year 2011, about 
      90% of the tablets contained MDMA. This number decreased to 66.6% in 2017. On the 
      other hand, there was an increase in the number of tablets that mainly contained 
      synthetic cathinones, as well as tryptamine and piperazine derivatives. Police 
      seizures in the metropolitan region of Florianopolis and on the coast prevailed 
      over the rest of the state.
