The Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971 is a United Nations treaty that regulates psychoactive drugs, signed in Vienna on 21 February 1971. The treaty aimed to control amphetamine-type stimulants, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and psychedelics, which were not covered by the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961. The Convention came into force on 16 August 1976 and has been ratified by 183 member states. The treaty requires countries to pass domestic laws to enact punishments and restrictions, and has been implemented through laws such as the Canadian Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the UK Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, and the U.S. Psychotropic Substances Act.learn more on wikipedia
