What countries do not require an RX for prescription narcotics? (School)?
Doing a paper on Narcotics and how the availability of these drugs affect the amount of abuse.
Specific countries that actually don’t comply with these laws.
Quite a few countries do not technically require a prescription, but what normally happens is that the pharmacist uses his/her discretion. So don’t expect to just ask for narcotics and get them.
Ironically, Afghanistan grows much of the world’s opium, but the Taliban will execute you for using it.
In the US, you are supposed to have a prescription, but anyone can get anything he wants on the black market (or from his auntie’s medicine cabinet).
So, the requirement or lack thereof for prescriptions has little, if any, relationship to availability.
