What is the Law?

On Campus Laws:

On campus, in addition to following the Federal Laws explained below, we also have a Student Code of Conduct. This Code states in Section 14:
"Federal laws with respect to drugs apply on campus. The possession, use, exchange, manufacture or selling of illegal drugs on campus is strictly prohibited."

Violations under the Student Code of Conduct are dealt with under the direction of Dr. Wood, AVP Student Affairs.

Controlled Drug and Substance Act

This act is located in the Canadian Criminal Code of Canada

As of September 2003, this act is still in effect and is still being enforced by Canadian Law Enforcement Agencies, including McMaster Security Services.

In the CSDA drugs are classified into schedules. Each schedule has it's own set of punishments.
