   (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.

   (xvi)oxime;

   (xvii)salt;

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

4. Quantities of controlled drugs, plants and precursors—Code, s 601 (1)

   (1)For a controlled drug under schedule 1—

   (a)a trafficable quantity of the drug is the quantity under the schedule, column 3 for the drug; and

   (b)a commercial quantity of the drug is the quantity under the schedule, column 4 for the drug; and

   (c)a large commercial quantity of the drug is the quantity under the schedule, column 5 for the drug.

   (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.

   (3)For a controlled plant—

   (a)a trafficable quantity of the plant is the quantity under schedule 2, column 3 for the plant; and

   (b)a commercial quantity of the plant is the quantity under schedule 2, column 4 for the plant; and

   (c)a large commercial quantity of the plant is the quantity under schedule 2, column 5 for the plant.

   (4)For a controlled precursor—

   (a)a commercial quantity of the precursor is the quantity under schedule 3, column 3 for the precursor; and

   (b)a large commercial quantity of the precursor is the quantity under schedule 3, column 4 for the precursor.

   (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.

   (6)In this section:

   related drug—see section 5 (2).

   related precursor—see section 7 (2).

5. Quantities of controlled drugs in mixtures—Code, s 601 (2)

   (1)For the Code, section 601 (2) (a)—

   (a)the quantity under schedule 1, column 3 for a drug is a trafficable quantity of the pure form of the drug (or a related drug); and

   (b)the quantity under schedule 1, column 4 for a drug is a commercial quantity of the pure form of the drug (or a related drug); and

   (c)the quantity under schedule 1, column 5 for a drug is a large commercial quantity of the pure form of the drug (or a related drug).

   (2)For the Code, section 601 (2) (b)—

   (a)the quantity under schedule 1, column 3 for a drug is a trafficable quantity of the mixture containing the drug (or a related drug); and

   (b)the quantity under schedule 1, column 4 for a drug is a commercial quantity of the mixture containing the drug (or a related drug); and

   (c)the quantity under schedule 1, column 5 for a drug is a large commercial quantity of the mixture containing the drug (or a related drug).

1. Expired transitional or validating provisions

   This Act may be affected by transitional or validating provisions that have expired.  The expiry does not affect any continuing operation of the provisions (see Legislation Act 2001, s 88 (1)).

   Expired provisions are removed from the republished law when the expiry takes effect and are listed in the amendment history using the abbreviation ‘exp’ followed by the date of the expiry.

   To find the expired provisions see the version of this Act before the expiry took effect.  The ACT legislation register has point-in-time versions of this Act.
