Danish government plans opioid crackdown, including banning eight synthetic opioids, enhancing drug policing, toughening penalties, and developing more addiction treatments. The move comes as opioids like oxycodone and tramadol increase in prevalence on the Danish drug market, particularly among young people. Opioids were identified as the most dangerous drug group in Denmark by the country's three forensic departments in April.
