(ii) The convention on psychotropic substances 1971.
(iii) The United Nations convention against the illicit traffic in narcotic drug and psychotropic substances 1988.
These international conventions are all laws against the possession, use, trade, distribution, import, export, manufacture and production of these hard drugs.

(i) The pharmacies are concerned with the manufacture/purchase, distribution and use of legal drugs for medical and research purposes.
(ii) The second set of laws relates to the control of illegal cultivation, manufacture, purchase, trafficking in and use of illegal drugs such as Indian hemp, heroin and cocaine.
