    (1)A substance mentioned in schedule 1 is prescribed.

    (2)The following substances (each of which is a related drug) are also prescribed:

    (a)a form of a drug mentioned in schedule 1, whether natural or synthetic, and the salts, derivatives and isomers of that drug and any salt of those derivatives and isomers;

    (b)a drug that is in a class of drugs mentioned in schedule 1, whether natural or synthetic, and the salts, derivatives and isomers of that drug and any salt of those derivatives and isomers;

    (c)an analogue in relation to a drug mentioned in schedule 1, which includes any substance having a substantially similar chemical structure to the drug, but differing in elemental composition due to the addition, deletion or replacement of any substituent element or group;

    (d)a homologue in relation to a drug mentioned in schedule 1, which includes any substance which differs from that drug by one or more carbon containing groups (including methylene groups) in that chemical structure;

    (e)a substance containing or mixed with a substance mentioned in schedule 1.

  6. Section 7

    substitute

  7. Controlled precursors—Code, s 600, def controlled precursor

    (1)A substance mentioned in schedule 3 is prescribed.

    (2)The following substances (each of which is a related precursor) are also prescribed:

    (a)a preparation, admixture, extract or other substance containing any proportion of a substance mentioned in schedule 3;

    (b)a substance that is 1 of the following in relation to a substance mentioned in schedule 3:

    (i)acetal;

    (ii)acetate;

    (iii)acid chloride;

    (iv)amide;

    (v)anhydride;

    (vi)diol;

    (vii)epoxide;

    (viii)ester;

    (ix)ether;

    (x)halogen substituent;

    (xi)hydroxide;

    (xii)imine;

    (xiii)isomer;

    (xiv)ketal;

    (xv)nitrile;

    (xvi)oxime;

    (xvii)salt;

    (c)any other analogue or derivative of a substance mentioned in schedule 3.

  8. Section 8 (2)

    substitute

    (2)For a related drug—

    (a)a trafficable quantity is the quantity mentioned in schedule 1, column 3 for—

    (i)the drug to which it is related; or

    (ii)if it is related to more than 1 drug—the drug to which it is related that has the smallest quantity mentioned in schedule 1, column 3; and

    (b)a commercial quantity is the quantity mentioned in schedule 1, column 4 for—

    (i)the drug to which it is related; or

    (ii)if it is related to more than 1 drug—the drug to which it is related that has the smallest quantity mentioned in schedule 1, column 3; and

    (c)a large commercial quantity is the quantity mentioned in schedule 1, column 5 for—

    (i)the drug to which it is related; or

    (ii)if it is related to more than 1 drug—the drug to which it is related that has the smallest quantity mentioned in schedule 1, column 3.

    Example—par (a) (ii), par (b) (ii) and par (c) (ii)

    Drug X is a related drug that is related to—

    ·     Morphine (sch 1, pt 1.1, item 49); and

    ·     Pethidine (sch 1, pt 1.1, item 60).

    In sch 1, col 3, the quantity for Morphine is 2.00g and the quantity for Pethidine is 10.00g. Because the Morphine quantity is smaller than the Pethidine quantity, Morphine is the relevant drug for working out the quantities for drug X. Therefore, a trafficable quantity of drug X is 2.00g, a commercial quantity of drug X is 0.75kg and a large commercial quantity  of drug X is 1.50kg.

    NoteAn example is part of the regulation, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).

  9. New section 8 (5) and (6)

    insert

    (5)For a related precursor—

    (a)a commercial quantity is the quantity mentioned in schedule 3, column 3 for—

    (i)the precursor to which it is related; or

    (ii)if it is related to more than 1 precursor—the precursor to which it is related that has the smallest quantity mentioned in schedule 3, column 3; and

    (b)a large commercial quantity is the quantity mentioned in schedule 3, column 4 for—

    (i)the precursor to which it is related; or

    (ii)if it is related to more than 1 precursor—the precursor to which it is related that has the smallest quantity mentioned in schedule 3, column 3.

    Example—par (a) (ii) and par (b) (ii)

    Precursor X is a related precursor that is related to—

    ·     Ammonia (sch 3, item 8); and

    ·     Calcium (sch 3, item 20).

    In sch 3, col 3, the quantity for Ammonia is 1.50kg and the quantity for Calcium is 0.25kg. Because the Calcium quantity is smaller than the Ammonia quantity, Calcium is the relevant precursor for working out the quantities for precursor X. Therefore, a commercial quantity of precursor X is 0.25kg and a large commercial quantity of precursor X is 0.50kg.

    NoteAn example is part of the regulation, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).

    related drug—see section 5 (2).

    related precursor—see section 7 (2).
