APPENDIX 'B'

report that these 'mind bending' drugs are not the subject of

abuse in Hong Kong.

Conclusion

15.

Arising from the considerations set out in this Appendix, it is recommended that the Hong Kong Government should continue to adhere to its current position and not free from control and the

sanctions of the criminal law opium, morphine, heroin, cannabis,

or any of the synthetic drugs of abuse. This position is consistent with the policy it has pursued since the end of World

War II and is in conformity with Treaty obligations about dangerous

drugs to which the United Kingdom is a party.
