List of controlled drugs in the United Kingdom
Encyclopedia
Drugs controlled by the United Kingdom
(UK) Misuse of Drugs Act 1971
are listed in this article.
These drugs are known in the UK as controlled drugs, because this is the term by which the act itself refers to them. In more general terms, however, many of these drugs are also controlled by the Medicines Act 1968
, there are many other drugs which are controlled by the Medicines Act but not by the Misuse of Drugs Act, and other substances which may be considered drugs (alcohol
, for example) are controlled by other laws.
The Misuse of Drugs Act sets out three separate categories, Class A, Class B, and Class C. Class A drugs represent those deemed most dangerous, and so carry the harshest punishment
s. Class C represents those thought to have the least capacity no harm, and so the Act demands more lenient punishment. Being found in possession of a drug
on this list is dealt with less seriously than would be if it were deemed that there is intent to supply the drug to others. Possession with intent to supply
carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment
.
With regard to lawful possession and supply, a different set of categories apply which are set out in the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 (as amended). This sets out five schedules each with their own restrictions. Schedule 1 contains substances with no medicinal value such as hallucinogens and their use is limited primarily to research, whereas schedules 2-5 contain the other regulated drugs. This means that although drugs may fall into the category of Class A/B/C, they may also fall into one of the schedules for legitimate medicinal use. For example, morphine
is a Class A drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971
, but when lawfully supplied falls under the category of a Schedule 2 controlled drug.
Substances may be removed and added to different parts of the schedule by statutory instrument
, provided a report of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs
has been commissioned and has reached a conclusion, although the Secretary of State
is not bound by the council's findings. This list has in practice modified a great number of times, sometimes removing substances, but more commonly adding some; for example, many benzodiazepines became Class C drugs in 1985.
