1971 Convention

The 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances is an international treaty that regulates the use, production, and distribution of drugs that affect the mind, such as LSD and amphetamines. Its goal is to prevent abuse while allowing lawful medical and scientific use. Countries that are party to the convention establish national controls, monitor production, and work together to combat illegal trafficking. It complements drug control efforts by focusing specifically on psychoactive substances, helping ensure public health and safety while facilitating scientific research.
