Addictive morbidity from psychotropic substances in Ukraine remained stable or declined between 2005 and 2008. For hypnotics and sedatives (diazepam, phenobarbital) and hallucinogens (LSD, psilocybin, mescaline), rates per 100,000 population held steady. Psychostimulant (amphetamine) addiction dropped by about 24% over the same period. These substances are legally restricted. The findings come from a forensic and pharmaceutical analysis of statistical data, scientific literature, and regulatory documents.
