The Practical Guide to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, 3rd Edition
This book takes you step-by-step through the Act, providing detailed commentary for each of the key provisions. Topics covered include
  • possession and “double doctoring”
  • trafficking
  • import and export offences
  • cultivation and manufacturing
  • possession of property obtained by crime
  • laundering (proceeds of crime)
  • recklessness and wilful blindness
  • sentencing principles
  • search and seizure powers
  • detention and forfeiture
  • disposal of controlled substances.
The schedules and regulations are also given full chapter treatments, which explain the features of each and how they differ from the Narcotic Control Act and Parts III and IV of the Food and Drugs Act.

This edition includes commentary and many new case digests on issues such as forfeiture of proceeds of crime property under ss. 462.37 and 462.38 of the Criminal Code, “exigent circumstances” and warrantless searches, what constitutes adequate grounds to obtain a CDSA warrant, expiration of special search warrants and restraint orders, and the effect of lack of accuracy in the Information to Obtain the Search Warrant. Cases developing from police activity with new drug interdiction programs are also incorporated.
