Drugs In Sector A1-0 (A1-0)
In common usage, the word “drug” in the context of illicit substances typically refers to narcotics, hallucinogens, certain types of stimulants, and other comparable substances that may be consumed for recreational or performance-enhancing purposes. National and sub-national policies regarding the existence and degree of prohibition on the manufacture, distribution, and possession of drugs vary widely across the Sector.
Prohibitions by nation
Below is a table showing prohibitions on various commonly illicit or controlled substances by nation, including alcohol and other substances capable of affecting a sapient's system. For commonality purposes, degrees of prohibition are divided into three categories:
- Prohibited: prohibited in most or all cases.
- Controlled: partially legal, such as prohibition on recreational usage but not prescribed medical usage.
- Legal: legal or effectively legal in most or all cases, though possibly with usage or purchase restrictions based on age, location, or other criteria.
- Absent: due to levels of technological advancement or lack of the required resources, the substance is not available or known.
- Distributed: produced (often engineered) and distributed by the nation itself, and therefore perfectly legal or even endorsed. Restrictions however, may still apply.
