At its eighteenth session, the World Health Assembly had noted with great concern the increasing abuse of sedatives and stimulants and requested the Director-General to study the advisability and feasibility of international control measures for such psychotropic drugs• Consequently, the Expert Committee 2 on Dependence-Producing Drugs recommended a number of measures which were communicated to the Commission on Narcotic Drugs of the Economic and Social Council, since this Commission had for many years followed the abuse of the drugs in question and had adopted several resolutions inviting governments to take appropriate national control measures. 2. The Commission on Narcotic Drugs established a special committee, at which 3 WHO was represented, which studied the matter in August 1966. Its report was adopted by the Narcotics Commission at its 21st session (5-21 December 1966).

(iii) It decided that the Secretary-General, in consultation with WHO and the Permanent Central Narcotics Board, should undertake as a matter of urgency a detailed study of the legal, administrative and other questions involved in initiating international action, giving priority to the problem of LSD_ and similar substances. In this context attention will be given in particular to the alternative of amending the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 196I., or making a new international convention, (iv) It recommended to ECOSOC the adoption of a resolution (see Annex I) by which governrrcnts will be requested to take immediate action to control strictly the production of and trade in LSD and similar substances, and to restrict their use to research and medical purposes, under very close medical supervision. (V) It hoped that WHO would give serious consideration to the action it might xd.sh to take in the near future, including possible action by the World, Health Assembly on the question of LSD. In view of future responsibilities likely to arise for the Organization in connexion with the control of psychotropic drugs, the Dire с tor-General proposes that these developments be reported to the Twentieth World Health Assembly.

  • Legalization of the Non-Medical Use of Drugs Is Presented Below
    I. OVERVIEW 1. Measures taken nationally and internationally to reduce drug abuse and trafficking have yet to yield more universally visible and decisive results and, consequently, the validity and appropriateness of the drug control measures that Governments have agreed upon in international conventions and resolutions have continued to be questioned. The drug abuse and trafficking situation, which is accompanied by violence and corruption, remains grim, but the International Narcotics Control Board is not convinced that valid alternatives to present policies have been found that would meaningfully reverse the situation. Worldwide efforts to combat drug abuse and trafficking have to be continuous, balanced and in an internationally concerted manner in order for further positive results to be achieved. Drug abuse is closely linked to political, social and economic problems, and progress in these areas will undeniably contribute to the solution of the drug abuse problem. In a number of countries positive developments have been reported and these should be more carefully studied and discussed so that successful experiences in one country can be considered by others. In addition, the mass media are invited to analyse and report on such positive developments. 2. The efforts of the United Nations International Drug Control Programme (UNDCP) are highly appreciated by the Board. During 1992, UNDCP cooperated with 97 countries through 130 regional and country-specific drug control programmes. In addition, the operational work programme for 1992 included 30 global projects supporting a broad range of drug control activities, such as specialized training, research and advisory services. These activities have been implemented by UNDCP in collaboration with various specialized agencies of the United Nations system, other international organizations and various non-governmental organizations.

    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION WWW.DEA.GOV 9, 2014 on September archived 13-10048 No. v. Stewart, in U.S. cited Drugs of2011 Abuse EDITION A DEA RESOURCE GUIDE V. Narcotics WHAT ARE NARCOTICS? Also known as “opioids,” the term "narcotic" comes from the Greek word for “stupor” and originally referred to a variety of substances that dulled the senses and relieved pain. Though some people still refer to all drugs as “narcot- ics,” today “narcotic” refers to opium, opium derivatives, and their semi-synthetic substitutes. A more current term for these drugs, with less uncertainty regarding its meaning, is “opioid.” Examples include the illicit drug heroin and pharmaceutical drugs like OxyContin®, Vicodin®, codeine, morphine, methadone and fentanyl. WHAT IS THEIR ORIGIN? The poppy papaver somniferum is the source for all natural opioids, whereas synthetic opioids are made entirely in a lab and include meperidine, fentanyl, and methadone. Semi-synthetic opioids are synthesized from naturally occurring opium products, such as morphine and codeine, and include heroin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, and hydromorphone. Teens can obtain narcotics from friends, family members, medicine cabinets, pharmacies, nursing 2014 homes, hospitals, hospices, doctors, and the Internet. 9, on September archived 13-10048 No. v.
