This is incorrect. What's banned (in many western countries) is distribution unless there is a medical prescription.
But nothing prevents people from using them, same with other drugs like cocaine and heroine.
- kfwhp 8y agoWhich is exactly the definition of being "banned".
- jordinl 8y agoIs that right? How come you can find them in pharmacies?
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoIn my country at least I need a prescription from a doctor if I want to take antibiotics, does that mean they're banned here?

- wmil 8y agoI've never heard of someone being charged with possession of antibiotics without a prescription. That happens with steroids.
- PeterisP 8y agoIt's misleading to say "nothing prevents people from using them" if it's a crime to buy them, and if it's a crime for someone to sell them to you. Furthermore, for other drugs like cocaine and heroine, in many countries not only distribution is banned, but also possession and use itself.
- wmil 8y agoPossession is also illegal. At least in the US and many other countries.
