| | | | | Convention on Psychotropic Substances: Encyclopedia II - Phentermine - Clinical use Generally, it is recommended by the FDA that phentermine should be used short-term (usually interpreted as 'up to 12 weeks'), while following nonpharmacological approaches to weight loss such as healthy dieting and exercise. However, recommendations limiting its use for short-term treatment may be controversial. One reason given behind limiting its use to 12 weeks is drug tolerance, whereby phentermine loses its appetite-suppressing effects after the body adjusts to the drug. On the contrary, it has been shown that phentermine did not lose e ...

| | | | | Convention on Psychotropic Substances: Encyclopedia II - Ayahuasca - Legal Status Internationally, DMT is a Schedule I drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances. The Commentary on the Convention on Psychotropic Substances notes, however, that the plant itself is excluded from international control[1]:
The cultivation of plants from which psychotropic substances are obtained is not controlled by the Vienna Convention. . . . Neither the crown (fruit, mescal button) of the Peyote cactus nor the roots of the plant Mimosa hostilis nor Psilocybe mushrooms themselves are included in Schedule 1, but only their respective principle ...

Convention on Psychotropic Substances - Ephedrine.
In 1998, ephedrine was recommended for control under the Convention. The Dietary Supplement Safety and Science Coalition lobbied against control, stressing the drug's history and safety, and arguing that "ephedrine is not a controlled substance in the US today, nor should it be internationally"[16]. After a two-year debate, the Expert Committee on Drug Dependenc ...

| | | | | Convention on Psychotropic Substances: Encyclopedia II - Convention on Psychotropic Substances - Treatment and prevention Article 22 allows Parties, in implementing the Convention's penal provisions, to make exceptions for drug abusers by substituting "treatment, education, after-care, rehabilitation and social reintegration" for imprisonment. This reflects a shift in focus in the war on drugs from incarceration to treatment and prevention that had already begun to take hold by 1971. Indeed, in 1972, a parallel provision allowing treatment for drug abusers was added to the Single Convention o ...

Convention on Psychotropic Substances - Rise in stimulant trafficking.
Control of stimulants has become a major challenge for the UN. In 1997, the World Drug Report warned[28]:
Since the mid-1980s the world has faced a wave of synthetic stimulant abuse, with approximately nine times the quantity seized in 1993 than in 1978, equivalent to an average annual increase of 16 per cent. The principle syntheti ...

| | | | | Convention on Psychotropic Substances: Encyclopedia II - Convention on Psychotropic Substances - Precursors A 1971 Bulletin on Narcotics notes[26]:
Article 2, in paragraph 4 of the original text, carried over the concept in Article 3 (3) (iii) of the Single Convention, and required the application to a "precursor " – i.e. a substance "readily convertible" into a substance under control – of measures of control. In Vienna the complexity of controlling precursors of psychotropic substances was agreed to be so overwhelming that no absol ...

| | | | | Convention on Psychotropic Substances: Encyclopedia II - Convention on Psychotropic Substances - Scheduling process Article 2 sets out a process for adding additional drugs to the Schedules. First, the World Health Organization (WHO) must find that the drug meets the specific criteria set forth in Article 2, Section 4, and thus is eligible for control. Then, the WHO issues an assessment of the substance that includes:
The extent or likelihood of abuse,
The degree of gravity in the public health and social problem, and

| | | | | Convention on Psychotropic Substances: Encyclopedia II - Convention on Psychotropic Substances - Schedules of Controlled Substances The Convention has four Schedules of controlled substances, ranging from Schedule I (most restrictive) to Schedule IV (least restrictive). A list of psychotropic substances, and their corresponding Schedules, was annexed to the 1971 treaty. A 2002 European Parliament report describes the Schedules as follows[7]:
Schedule I includes dangerous drugs claimed to create a serious risk to public health, and whose therapeutic value i ...

Article 7 provides that, in respect of Schedule I substances, the Parties shall "[p]rohibit all use except for scientific and very limited medical purposes by duly authorized persons, in medical or scientific establishments which are directly under the control of their Governments or specifically approved by them".
In this sense, the U.S. Controlled Substances Act is stricter than ...

The term "synthetic" appears to refer to a psychotropic substance manufactured by a process of full chemical synthesis. One may also assume that the authors of the Vienna Convention intended to apply the term "natural material" to parts of a plant which consti ...
