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. 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:

• Australia's Misuse of Drugs Act ;
• Belize's Misuse of Drugs Act;
• The United Kingdom's Misuse of Drugs Act;
• Ireland's Misuse of Drugs Act;
• New Zealand's Misuse of Drugs Act; and
• Singapore's Misuse of Drugs Act.
