Misuse of Drugs Act
Misuse of Drugs Act is the name of several similar national drug control laws passed by countries in the Commonwealth of Nations and by the Republic of Ireland. With the exception of Ireland's 1977 Act, they all sort drugs into three categories, Classes A, B, and C. This classification system was influenced by the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and other drug control treaties.
Some of the Acts are:
- Misuse of Drugs Act (Australia);
- Misuse of Drugs Act (Belize)
- Misuse of Drugs Act (Ireland)
- Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 in New Zealand
- Misuse of Drugs Act (Singapore)
- Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 in the United Kingdom
