Controlled drugs

[pharming_in_korea]

Controlled drugs in Korea work slightly differently than America. Instead of having five different "classes" (or schedules, as we call them in the US), there are only two different "classes" in Korea. There are the narcotics and the psychotropics. It's interesting to note that Korea organizes their controlled drugs by their indication/purpose, while America tends to focus on their potential for abuse and physical/psychological dependence.
