<Reporter> This

is a deal posted on a used trading app.

It is about selling dietamine, an appetite suppressant called'butterfly medicine'.

It is mainly for diet, but it is a psychotropic medicine known to be used as a substitute for methamphetamine, so it can only be purchased with a doctor's prescription.

Nevertheless, there is a lot of writing that says, "I'll pay you a generous price, so sell it to yourself."

Birth control pills, insulin injections, and even vardaman ointments are traded.

[Used medicine seller: It hasn't been long since (opened).

It's been less than a month.

I bought it after receiving a prescription.

I don't use it

anyway.] The

warning that you can't buy without a prescription is packaged like a guarantee that the drug is strong, instead of the original meaning of not buying it.

By law, people who are not pharmacists cannot sell medicines, especially prescription drugs, even pharmacists cannot sell medicines without a doctor's prescription.

Both the seller and the buyer are breaking the law.

The number of illegal transactions of drugs in the online second-hand market has been detected in the past three years.

Used trading companies are filtering out illegal transactions by blocking keywords, but there are various types and names of drugs, so they cannot properly block them.

So, it seems that the number of illegal transactions actually exceeds the number of crackdowns.
