The eight psychedelic substances add to the 36 hallucinogenic plants and products that have already been banned starting February, the health Minister said Wednesday.

Romanian President Traian Basescu promulgated in May the law which approves Government emergency decree 6/2010 which bans the sale of 36 ethnobotanic products which are considered drugs.

The Government motivated its move to ban the sale of such plants citing the appearance of numerous stores selling psychoactive substances, or so-called "legal drugs", which have been proven dangerous to human health.

In 2009, about 1,300 people needed medical assistance after they consumed hallucinogenic products.
