DANGEROUS DRUGS, ENGLAND AND WALES

DANGEROUS DRUGS, SCOTLAND

These Regulations insert 1–benzylpiperazine (BZP), all but two of a group of substituted piperazines and the synthetic cannabinoid agonists into Schedule 1 to the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 (“the 2001 Regulations”), save for nabilone which is inserted into Schedule 2 to the 2001 Regulations along with oripavine. The two other substituted piperazines are inserted into Part 1 of Schedule 4 to the 2001 Regulations and 15 anabolic steroids and 2 non-steroidal agents are inserted into Part 2 of that Schedule. The schedule in which a controlled drug is placed primarily affects the extent to which the drug can be lawfully imported, exported, produced, supplied or possessed and dictates the record keeping, labelling and destruction requirements in relation to those drugs.
