=====違法薬物=====

<blockquote>
**illicit drug** --- **違法薬物**

A **psychoactive substance**, the production, sale, or use of which is prohibited. Strictly speaking, it is not the drug that is illicit, but its production, sale, or use in particular circumstances in a given jurisdiction (//see// **controlled substances**). "illicit drug market", a more exact term, refers to the production, distribution, and sale of any drug outside legally sanctioned channels.
----
製造、販売、使用が禁止されている**[[psychoactive substance]]**。厳密に言えば、薬物そのものが違法なのではなく、その製造、販売、特定の環境での使用が一定の司法管轄内で違法とされている（**[[controlled substances]]**を参照）。「違法薬物市場」は、より正確には、法的に認可された販売ルート外での製造、流通、販売を指す。
