| Abstract:
The criminal law of drugs are based on the list of prohibited “ materials” and a set of criminalized “ acts” . The almost neglected question is that the definition of illegitimacy goes back to the “ object” or “ action” . Consequently، they should talk about “ illicit traffic in drugs” or “ traffic in illicit drugs” . The next question is that، in both assumptions، “ trade” and “ consumption” of narcotics are described to illicit based on common ground، but why these two “ practices” have different repressive paths? It is apparently the consequence of two pre-assumption: the demand creation by the supply and victimization of consumers. This debate، while criticizing the current criminal policy regarding drug trafficking، could lead to enlightenment in modifying that criminal policy.
