Answer 1

The Correct Answer: Labels had to distinguish between prescription or over the counter use

The misrepresentation of drugs means that many drug users are taking drugs they would not normally take or wish to take. The sale of fake, contaminated, and misrepresented drugs are common. Some of the fakes are ingenious and comics, such as henna sold as cannabis resin or lentils sold as L.S.D. Others are a hoax, such as roasted banana skins called ‘Mello Yello’. Others are dangerous such as the selling of the anesthetic Ketamine as ecstasy. In order to prevent the misrepresentation of drugs, make it legally punishable.
