This APPG addresses the growing threat posed by emerging drug trends, including highly potent synthetic cannabinoids and opioids, such as fentanyl and its derivatives; prescription drug misuse, and the unregulated market of fitness supplements proliferating across the web and dark web.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
