Summary/Abstract: The basic function of civil law, and more broadly private law is the regulation of legal relations between legal entities deciding on their effective creation, change or termination. However, unlike public law, it does not have instruments to protect against the turnover of legal highs with the same effectiveness. This does not mean that civil law regulations are helpless against this socially harmful phenomenon. It is possible to distinguish between a preventive and follow-up plane against turnover with these substitutes. The first of these will be mainly related to the administrative regulation of trade in these substances. There is no doubt that the object of sale should not be any good that appears in art. 535 and 555 c.c. In turn, the second one will be directed against producers, distributors and sellers who, under the guise of legality, cause damage to the person.
