As the availability of new substances has increased there has also been an increase in serious harms, particularly acute poisonings, sometimes resulting in death; they also include broader public health and social harms, such as those caused by chronic and marginalised drug users switching from injecting heroin to synthetic cathinones.

Italics are mine. What in the fuck are they talking about? Who the hell makes this switch?
