This Order amends Schedule 2 to the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 which specifies the drugs which are subject to control under the Act.
The Order transfers the substance nicodicodine from Part I to Part II and excludes from Part I certain substances (notably, codeine, dihydrocodeine, ethylmorphine, norcodeine and pholcodine) which are already included in Part II.
The Order also adds the substance drotebanol to Part I and the substance propiram to Part II and removes from Part III the substances fencamfamin, pemoline, phentermine and prolintane.
