Drug attorney, can I buy a drug being advertised on SNS as a "study-enhancing drug"?

My 8th-grade child is suffering from school violence to the point of not eating and receiving psychiatric treatment. But after the education office's school violence committee hearing, the perpetrator only received a Level 1 disposition. I'm dumbfounded. The perpetrator habitually harassed my child and even extorted money. I want to appeal the school violence committee's decision and take every possible legal action — criminal complaint, civil damages claim, etc. How do I go about this?

Hello. This is the drug attorney at Daeryun LLC.

Methylphenidate, an ADHD treatment known as a "study-enhancing drug," is a psychotropic substance, a type of narcotic.

If used for non-medical purposes, the purchase, possession, and administration itself is illegal, and not only the seller but also the buyer is subject to criminal punishment.

If you purchase, possess, or take it, you may be subject to criminal punishment under the Act on the Control of Narcotics, Etc.

As a drug attorney, I will tell you about the sentence and punishment level for this.

If you handle methylphenidate illegally, you may be sentenced to life imprisonment or imprisonment of 5 years or more.

However, when sold or arranged for official duties, academic research, or legitimate medical purposes, it is excluded from punishment.

In particular, in the case of adolescents, since there is a high risk of being involved in drug crimes due to simple curiosity or academic stress, special caution is required.

Such drugs can cause not only punishment but also serious physical and mental side effects, so you should not be deceived by false information on SNS, etc.

If you need more accurate legal response, please be sure to consult with a drug attorney.
