What is the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act?
The Controlled Drugs and Substances Act is a federal drug control law in Canada. The Act classifies substances into categories known as "Schedules." Each controlled substance listed in the Act belongs to a specific Schedule. Schedule VI contains two classes of precursors. Precursors are also regulated, as they can be synthesized in the manufacturing of controlled substances.
What Drug-Related Criminal Offences Fall Under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act?
