Cannabis and cannabis resin were designated as drugs excluded from the ordinary professional permissions required by the replacement drug law. Handling could instead be authorised by ministerial licence. The designation and implementing regulations took effect on 8 September, when a commencement order also brought the remaining provisions of the new framework into operation, apart from two specified penalty subsections.[1]
