SENTRY is an Internet-based
system designed to collect and disseminate synthetic drug-related
data in order to identify new trends at an early stage, evaluate
their likely importance, and track their development.
SENTRY
focuses on synthetic drugs that are primarily produced via a
chemical process, such as LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide),
MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, also known as ecstasy),
and methamphetamine. To be truly effective as an early warning
system, however, the system also monitors prescription drugs,
over-the-counter medications, botanical substances and extracts,
and chemicals and products involved in the manufacturing of
synthetic drugs.
