'''Drugs''' are generally referring to substances that are causing physical and psychological changes due to an (acute) intoxication of the body. They are named in the game 'controlled substances' and distinguished into three classes: A, B, and C. Within the United Empire of Earth only the trafficking and possession of Class A controlled substances are regarded as a [[crime]], leaving room for local [[jurisdictions]], which can vary from planet to planet. |

Drugs are generally referring to substances that are causing physical and psychological changes due to an (acute) intoxication of the body. They are named in the game 'controlled substances' and distinguished into three classes: A, B, and C. Within the United Empire of Earth only the trafficking and possession of Class A controlled substances are regarded as a crime, leaving room for local jurisdictions, which can vary from planet to planet.
Maze, i.e. is classified by Crusader and Hurston authorities as class B. Since the possession of Class B drugs is considered a misdemeanor by Crusader authorities, offenders have to pay a fine, while Class B drugs are not subject to prosecution on Hurston.
Drugs slated to be mostly tied to the criminal gameplay aspect of Star Citizen. While there are legal drugs, players have missions and trading opportunities geared around illegal drug sales and trafficking.

Maze is a class B substance in the Crusader and Hurston system. Trafficking is considered a felony, while possession is considered a misdemeanor.
E'tam
Xi'An herb (also known as Flow, Blinder, Ticktock) which is used as a neuroenhancer by students and workers. Due to his effects (hyper-awareness and hyper-focus) it poses the danger of self-neglect of frequent users. Possession is legal everywhere in the UEE.
Jurisdiction
The possession and trafficking of drugs are regulated by different authorities. Within the UEE, systemwide law enforcement is enforced by the local authorities, which can also include non-governmental entities, like the Hurston, ArcCorp and Crusader company in the Stanton System. Outside of the UEE controlled realm such entities, like the fringe group of the People's Alliance often have widely divergent legal opinions on the matter. Drug use and trafficking seem to be not regulated on Levski.

Fines
References
- ↑ Jump up to: 1.0 1.1 Formally the trafficking and possession of Class A substances are fined with 10'000 / 4'000 UEC. Since no drug is classified by the People's Alliance as Class A this regulation is de facto void.
