Drug control is related to the rise and fall of a country and a nation, and has always been highly valued by the state. Since the 1990s, the state has formulated a series of laws and administrative regulations to crack down on illegal and criminal activities of drugs and manage drugs. For example, the Decision of the NPC Standing Committee on Narcotics Control adopted at the 17th meeting of the 7th the NPC Standing Committee in February, 1990.

1In March 1997, the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) added a special chapter to punish the crimes of smuggling, trafficking, transporting and manufacturing drugs. The Measures for Compulsory Detoxification and the Regulations on the Administration of Precursor Chemicals, Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Drugs were promulgated and implemented in the State Council in June 20051August 1995.

However, with the globalization of drug problem, the situation of drug control in China is still grim, and drugs are abroad. Drug penetration is serious, domestic drug-related illegal and criminal activities are repeatedly banned, the number of registered drug users is increasing, and serious infectious diseases such as HIV infection, public security and criminal cases are constantly occurring. In order to further prevent and punish drug crimes, protect citizens' physical and mental health and maintain social order, it is necessary to formulate a special drug control law.

On the basis of summing up many years' practical experience in drug control, the 31st meeting of the 10th the NPC Standing Committee passed the Anti-drug Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on February 29th, 2007, which is an important law that comprehensively regulates drug control. Chapter VII contains 7 articles1,which stipulates the standards and systems, anti-drug publicity and education, anti-drug measures and drug rehabilitation measures.
