Maybe I should have been a lawyer...NOT!

Well now that the pseudo-law exam is over, I thought I might put up a few gems from the stimulating documents we had to study (all taken out of context, of course).

Hmmm....how about this helpful lot of definitions from the Poisons and Therapeutic Goods Act 1966 No 31, Section 27 (6):

In this section:
type A drug of addiction means a drug of addiction prescribed by the regulations under this section as a type A drug of addiction.
type B drug of addiction means a drug of addiction prescribed by the regulations under this section as a type B drug of addiction.
type C drug of addiction means any drug of addiction (other than a type A drug of addiction).

Or what do you make of this, from the Poisons and Therapeutic Goods Regulation 2002, Clause 102 (1):

A retail pharmacist is authorised:
(a) to have possession of drugs of addiction, and
(b) to manufacture drugs of addiction and any preparation, admixture or extract of a drug of addiction....

Or Clauses 133 and 134:

133 Personal cleanliness

A person who is involved in the preparation or handling of exposed substances:
(a) must be clean and must wear clean clothing, and
(b) must clean his or her hands (by means of soap or detergent and water or by some other suitable cleaning process) before starting work and before resuming work after using the toilet.

134 Spitting and smoking etc

A person who is involved in the preparation or handling of exposed substances, or who is in a place that is used for preparing or handling exposed substances, must not:
(a) urinate, defecate or spit, or
(b) use, smoke or chew tobacco or any other similar substance, or
(c) sit, walk, stand or lie on any surface used for the purposed of preparing or handling exposed substances.

I mean...ewwww!


Although my favourite would have to be Section 19D(1) from the Pharmacy Act 1964 No28:

A complaint may be made by any person that a pharmacist:
...
...
...
...
...
...is not of good character.
