Psychotropic Substances Act (Thailand)

Thailand's Psychotropic Substances Act is a law designed to regulate certain mind-altering drugs. Along with the Drug Act and the Narcotic Act, the Psychotropic Substances act is one of the major acts that the Thai FDA works under. The Act divides psychotropic drugs into four Schedules. Offenses involving Schedule I and II drugs carry heavier penalties than those involving Schedule III and IV drugs. Note that this statute does not regulate most opioids, cocaine, or some amphetamines. The vast majority of narcotic painkillers, along with cocaine and most amphetamines are regulated under the Narcotics Act.
