The 1972 Convention, formally known as the Convention on Psychotropic Substances, is an international treaty that regulates the production, trade, and use of psychoactive drugs like LSD, ecstasy, and other similar substances. Its goal is to prevent abuse and illegal trafficking while allowing for scientific and medical research.
