The ''Food and Drugs Act'' (formal title ''An Act respecting food, drugs, cosmetics and therapeutic devices'') is an Act of the Parliament Of Canada regarding the production, Import , Export , transport across Province s and sale of Food , Drugs , Contraceptive devices and Cosmetics (including personal cleaning products such as Soap and Toothpaste ). It was first passed in 1920 and most recently revised in 1985. It attempts to ensure that these products are safe, that their ingredients are disclosed and that drugs are effective and are not sold as food or cosmetics. It also states that cures for Schedule A diseases (the most serious, including Cancer ), cannot be advertised to the general public. PARTS III AND IV Parts III (enacted in 1961 ) and IV (enacted in 1969 ) provided for implementation of controls required by the Convention On Psychotropic Substances . Part III dealt with "controlled" drugs such as Amphetamine , Methaqualone , and Phenmetrazine , while Part IV focused on "restricted drugs" such as LSD , DMT , and MDA , that were listed in Schedule H. These Parts established eight classes of regulated substances, ranging from Schedules A to H. The 1996 Controlled Drugs And Substances Act repealed Parts III and IV. REFERENCES
