Introduction Synthetic cathinones, the active component in “bath
salts”, have surfaced as a popular alternative to other illicit drugs of
abuse, such as cocaine, MDMA (ecstasy), and methamphetamine,
due to their potent psychostimulant and empathogenic effects.
Objectives To describe the presence of Ethylone in samples deliv-
ered to energy control from 2014 to 2015 in Spain.
Methods The total number of samples analyzed from 2014
to 2015 was 8324. Only those samples containing ethylone
were studied. They were analyzed by energy control, a Span-
ish harm reduction NGO that offers the possibility of analysing
the substances that users report. Analysis was done by gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Results From June 2014 to December 2015, 8324 samples were
delivered to EC. From this samples 28 (0.336%) contained ethylone.
Twelve (0.144%) were delivered as MDMA, representing a 0.783%
of the samples delivered as such, and only one sample (0.012%)
delivered as MDMA presented ethylene as an adulterant along with
MDMA. Other 6 samples (0.072%) were delivered as ethylone and
10 samples (0.120%) were delivered as unknown pills.
Discussion Ethylone consumption is found to be an emerging
issue according to the results of our samples, an increase of such
is found during 2015. This might be traduced as an increase of
ethylone in the drug market, but a sample selection bias should
be considered as samples were voluntary delivered by consumers.
An alarming phenomenon is that in some occasions ethylone is sold
as MDMA, but effects take longer to occur and last longer, which
may lead to an overdose if used as MDMA.

Introduction According to the available data, treatment moti-
vation and readiness are closely linked to retention. There are
instruments for measuring the stages of motivation and readiness,
and predicting treatment retention and outcome.
Aim This study describes psychometric properties, while focus-
ing on the reliability of the Slovenian version of the Circumstances,
Motivation and Readiness (CMR) scales.
Methods We included 109 male and female patients with opioid
addiction at the Centre for Treatment of Drug Addiction, Ljubljana.
The CMR was translated into Slovenian by using the “forward-
backward” procedure by our team and its author. Data analysis
addressed psychometric properties of the CMR. Internal consis-
tency was examined by applying exploratory and confirmatory
factor analysis, while reliability was examined with Cronbach’s
coefficient alpha.
Results Cronbach alpha coefficients of reliability were calculated
for each of the three CMR subscales and for the total score. The total
alphawas 0.842. Alpha forMotivationwas 0.860, for Circumstances
0.372 and for Readiness 0.818. Exploratory factor analysis extracted
a 3-factor solution with 56% explained total variance. The factors
do not provide an exact match with the dimensions C, M and R.
Conclusion On the basis of these results we can conclude that the
Slovenian translationof the CMR is a valid instrument for evaluating
patients’ motivation and readiness for treatment.

cause of uncontrollable events

The belief in deterministic luck is considered to be one of the fac-
tors contributing to maintenance of gambling behavior. This belief
was found to be stronger during the gamble situation in prob-
lematic gamblers than non-problematic. The present study deals
with the difference in luck attribution between the Czech gam-
blers and the control group. The main goal was to find out whether
the difference between belief in luck is also present in non-gamble
situation. A questionnaire containing the Belief in luck and lucki-
ness scale and 14 stories of uncontrollable events was administered
to 30 pathological gamblers and 30 matched participant (by age,
education, gender and nationality), who did not play any haz-
ard games regularly. In uncontrollable events participants chose
from non-material causes (luck, chance, god, destiny) one they
believed to be the best fit. Results have shown a statistically signif-
icant difference between gamblers and control group in the way of
attributing the causes. Control group has chosen significantly more
“chance” option meanwhile gamblers opted for luck, God and des-
tiny. There was no statistically significant difference in explicitly
formulated belief in luck. It seems that the stronger casual attribu-
tion of luck, god and destiny in pathological gamblers compared to
non-gamblers are not restricted only to gaming situations. Rather
we can find it in other uncontrollable events as well. The absence of
the difference between patients and control group in explicit belief
in luckmeasured by questionnaire could be pointing to the stronger
effect of the treatment for explicit belief than for more subtle causal
attributing.
