Hello, attorney specializing in narcotics cases. The thing is, I am currently on a diet, and while looking at social media and Telegram, I found an appetite suppressant called nabi pills. They say it contains narcotic ingredients, but it is being sold quite openly. So it is legal and okay to buy, right?

Hello. This is a narcotics specialist attorney at Daeryun Law LLC.

An appetite suppressant such as the ‘nabi pill’ distributed online is itself illegal to purchase, and the purchaser is also subject to punishment, so buying it is prohibited.

This drug may contain psychotropic substance ingredients, so legally it falls under the scope of narcotics control.

Even if it is sold openly on social media, Telegram, and the like, purchasing or possessing it constitutes a violation of the Narcotics Control Act, and if caught, one may be subject to imprisonment for not more than 5 years or a fine of not more than 50 million won.

In addition, drugs distributed illegally online have unverified ingredients and content, so the risk of side effects, addiction, and harm to health is very high.

Approaching it for the purpose of dieting can cause both health and legal problems at the same time, so particular caution is needed.

Therefore, purchasing or taking ‘nabi pills’ online is absolutely prohibited, and if you want a lawful and safe method, you must approach it through a proper prescription after consulting a specialist doctor.

For detailed matters, you may wish to confirm the specific issue through a consultation with an attorney specializing in narcotics cases.
