Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • We produced a snapshot of the availability of “legal highs” in Portugal. • Analytical data of the novel psychoactive substances identified are presented. • Methedrone, a special case of toxicity of cathinones, was found in three samples. • Elemental composition of samples was obtained by XRF. • Inorganic profiles can be used to identify common origin of samples.
