The Misuse of Drugs Act is a national drug control law of Belize. "Like the Misuse of Drugs Acts of other nations, this statute is designed to implement the provisions of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and its supplementary drug control treaties."
The act deals with "dangerous or otherwise harmful drugs" and provides for the forfeiture of the proceeds of drug trafficking. It encompasses the importation/exportation, production and supply, and possession of controlled drugs, as well as the cultivation of cannabis, opium poppy and coca plants. It divides these drugs into three classes—A, B, and C—though it makes no provision for a drug to be added to or removed from a class or for its transfer to a different class.
