Talk:Convention on Psychotropic Substances/Pics

Option 1
The Convention on Psychotropic Substances is a United Nations treaty designed to control psychoactive drugs such as amphetamines, barbiturates and LSD. During the 1960s, drug use and abuse exploded worldwide, especially in the Western developed nations. Inspired by psychedelic avatars such as Aldous Huxley and Timothy Leary, millions of young people experimented with powerful hallucinogens. Availability of stimulants soared as manufacturers and traffickers took advantage of the inconsistent patchwork of national laws to circumvent restrictions on production and trade. The Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961 could not regulate the plethora of newly-discovered psychotropics, since its scope was limited to drugs with cannabis-, coca-, and opium-like effects. On February 21, 1971, a conference of plenipotentiaries, gathered in Vienna, signed a new Convention worded broadly enough to be capable of encompassing almost any mind-altering substance imaginable. The Convention, which contains import and export restrictions and other rules aimed at limiting drug use to scientific and medical purposes, entered into force on August 16, 1976. Today, 175 nations are Parties to the treaty. Many laws have been passed to implement the Convention, including the U.S. Controlled Substances Act, the U.K. Misuse of Drugs Act, and the Canadian Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Like the treaty itself, these statutes typically categorize drugs into several classes or Schedules.
