One possibility which has been considered is
the revocation of the Pharmacy and Poisons Ordinance and its incorporation in a revised form in the Dangerous Drugs
Ordinance, Cap.134, as an appropriate 'Part'. But its revision would not be straightforward, having regard to the fact that its main purpose is to control drugs which are not the subject of abuse. A simpler arrangement would be to place the 'dangerous drugs' in the First Schedule to Cap. 134, perhaps deleting them from the Cap. 138 'Poisons List'. All dangerous drugs would then be equated in law by being under a single Ordinance
which should be more effective and convenient.

An alternative (at present under consideration by the Pharmacy and Foisons Board) would be to enact a new ordinance to deal with factory made drugs. It is recommended that the Board be invited to advise as soon as possible on the best way of proceeding.

Manufacturing and Major Trafficking Offences.
The drug cases tried before the Supreme Court are invariably connected with trafficking on a major scale, or with manufacturing heroin. The District Court deals with trafficking cases of less magnitude, and certain others, which deserve trial in a Court superior to a Magistracy. The following short table gives brief details for three years prior to the introduction of the present Dangerous Drugs Ordinance in January 1969 and from that date to 31st October, 1973.
