The Misuse of Drugs (Amendment No. 2) (England, Wales and Scotland) Regulations 2014
These Regulations amend the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 to allow for the provision of aluminium foil by persons employed or engaged in the lawful provision of drug treatment services. Such provision is permitted as part of structured steps to bring individuals into treatment or as part of such treatment. Without this amendment, the provision of foil to drug users would be an offence under section 9A Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
