Published in Drugs and Regulations 1 min read

Many drugs are illegal in India, and the list is constantly evolving. The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 (NDPS Act) governs the production, manufacture, possession, sale, and consumption of certain drugs in India.

Here are some examples of drugs that are illegal in India:

  • Heroin: A highly addictive opioid drug derived from morphine.
  • Cocaine: A stimulant drug derived from the coca plant.
  • Cannabis (Marijuana): A psychoactive drug derived from the Cannabis sativa plant.
  • Methamphetamine: A highly addictive stimulant drug.
  • LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide): A hallucinogenic drug.

It is important to note that the legal status of drugs can vary depending on the specific substance and its intended use. For example, certain drugs may be legal for medical purposes but illegal for recreational use.

It is always best to consult with a legal professional or relevant authorities to determine the legal status of a particular drug in India.
