RAND Report: The evidence base for the classification of drugs

This report, prepared by the RAND Corporation for the House of Commons Select Committee on Science and Technology in the United Kingdom, presents the results of four case studies examining the evidence base for the classification of illegal drugs in the context of the 1971 Misuse of Drugs Act.

The objective is to identify the main evidence base on the selected drugs and to examine the use of that evidence in classifying each drug.
