Are Peptides Legal in Iraq?
Iraq's pharmaceutical regulation has been weakened by decades of conflict, and enforcement is low with a large informal pharmaceutical market. Research peptides can generally be obtained without regulatory issues in practice. The Ministry of Health has limited enforcement capacity for novel substances. Product quality and supply chain integrity are significant concerns in this largely unregulated environment.
