MDR: Misuse of Drugs Regulations, 2001
In 2001, the Misuse of Drugs Regulations (MDR) were introduced in the UK to expand further on the 1971 Misuse of Drugs Act. The MDR determines the circumstances in which it is legal to possess, produce, supply, and transport controlled drugs. The MDR is also in charge of legalising the prescription of licensed products by authorised prescribers.
