Misuse of Drugs Act 1971
(in the UK) an Act of Parliament restricting the use of dangerous drugs. These controlled drugs include the natural opiate and their synthetic substitutes, many stimulants (including amphetamine and cocaine), and hallucinogens such as LSD and cannabis. The Act specifies certain requirements for writing prescriptions for these drugs. The Misuse of Drugs (Notification of and Supply to Addicts) Regulations (1973) and the Misuse of Drugs Regulations, which are updated from time to time, also lay down who may supply controlled drugs. Five categories of persons are defined.
