Codeine is printed in Belize's Misuse of Drugs Regulations at Schedule II paragraph 6, in the Misuse of Drugs Act Chapter 103 volume of the Subsidiary Laws of Belize, Revised Edition 2020, which shows the subsidiary laws as at 31 December 2020. It is printed in the left column of paragraph 6 under Amphetamine, with Nicocodine and Norcodeine in the right column and Dihydrocodeine and Acetyldihydrocodeine in the same list. That schedule's heading reads «CONTROLLED DRUGS SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF REGULATIONS 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 25 AND 26.» The subsidiary law made under Chapter 103 therefore calls what it lists a controlled drug, and this substance is one of them. Codeine is also one of the nine substances in Schedule V paragraph 1. That paragraph excepts a preparation of codeine that is not for injection, is compounded with other active or inert ingredients, and contains not more than 100 milligrammes calculated as base per dosage unit, or a total concentration of not more than 2.5 per cent calculated as base in an undivided preparation. Schedule V is the one schedule that regulation 4 lifts clear of the possession prohibition altogether. What the volume cannot answer is how heavily this is punished. Section 27 takes the ordinary punishments from the Act's Third Schedule column by column according to class, and neither the Third Schedule nor the Second Schedule that assigns the class was in the material read. The schedule placement in this cell is read off the instrument and is not printed in the quoted dossier extract, which names the Act's schedules only as a range.

Fentanyl is printed in Belize's Misuse of Drugs Regulations at Schedule II paragraph 1, in the Misuse of Drugs Act Chapter 103 volume of the Subsidiary Laws of Belize, Revised Edition 2020, which shows the subsidiary laws as at 31 December 2020. It is printed in the left column between Etoxeridine and Furethidine, with Alfentanil, Carfentanil, Lofentanil and Sufentanil all carried as separate entries in the same paragraph. That schedule's heading reads «CONTROLLED DRUGS SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF REGULATIONS 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 25 AND 26.» The subsidiary law made under Chapter 103 therefore calls what it lists a controlled drug, and this substance is one of them. Schedule I paragraph 1(d) adds a generic clause for compounds structurally derived from fentanyl, expressly excluding anything already specified in Schedule II, and lists six named modifications. So the fentanyl family is split across two schedules on purpose, with the named analogues in the heavier prescribing regime and the unnamed derivatives in the other. No class is given here. Class follows from Part I, Part II or Part III of the Act's Second Schedule under section 4, and the subsidiary volume read for this row prints no part of that schedule and uses the words Class A, Class B and Class C nowhere at all. The schedule placement in this cell is read off the instrument and is not printed in the quoted dossier extract, which names the Act's schedules only as a range.

Diamorphine (Heroin) is printed in Belize's Misuse of Drugs Regulations at Schedule II paragraph 1, in the Misuse of Drugs Act Chapter 103 volume of the Subsidiary Laws of Belize, Revised Edition 2020, which shows the subsidiary laws as at 31 December 2020. It is printed in the left column between Dextromoramide and Etoxeridine. That schedule's heading reads «CONTROLLED DRUGS SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF REGULATIONS 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 25 AND 26.» The subsidiary law made under Chapter 103 therefore calls what it lists a controlled drug, and this substance is one of them. The Act carries heroin by its chemical name as well. Section 7(4)(a) of the 1990 text deems a person found with more than two grammes of diacetylmorphine, heroin, to be in possession for the purpose of supplying it, with the burden of disproof on the accused. That is the lowest of the five printed quantities in that subsection. No class is given here. Class follows from Part I, Part II or Part III of the Act's Second Schedule under section 4, and the subsidiary volume read for this row prints no part of that schedule and uses the words Class A, Class B and Class C nowhere at all.

Hydrocodone is printed in Belize's Misuse of Drugs Regulations at Schedule II paragraph 1, in the Misuse of Drugs Act Chapter 103 volume of the Subsidiary Laws of Belize, Revised Edition 2020, which shows the subsidiary laws as at 31 December 2020. It is printed in the left column between Furethidine and Hydromorphinol, and a second related entry, Dihydrocodeinone 0-carboxymethyloxime, appears in the right column of the same paragraph. That schedule's heading reads «CONTROLLED DRUGS SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF REGULATIONS 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 25 AND 26.» The subsidiary law made under Chapter 103 therefore calls what it lists a controlled drug, and this substance is one of them. Hydrocodone and its oxime are two lines, not one. Hydromorphinol, Hydromorphone and Hydroxypethidine follow immediately, so this is a densely populated part of the list and the entry was read in place rather than matched on a substring. The class is left open on purpose. The Act's own classification lives in its Second Schedule and the punishment table in its Third Schedule, and the volume read here is the subsidiary laws volume, whose contents page lists four instruments and none of them is the Act. The schedule placement in this cell is read off the instrument and is not printed in the quoted dossier extract, which names the Act's schedules only as a range.

Methadone is printed in Belize's Misuse of Drugs Regulations at Schedule II paragraph 1, in the Misuse of Drugs Act Chapter 103 volume of the Subsidiary Laws of Belize, Revised Edition 2020, which shows the subsidiary laws as at 31 December 2020. It is printed in the left column between Metazocine and Methyadyl acetate, with Normethadone in the right column of the same paragraph. That schedule's heading reads «CONTROLLED DRUGS SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF REGULATIONS 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 25 AND 26.» The subsidiary law made under Chapter 103 therefore calls what it lists a controlled drug, and this substance is one of them. Normethadone and Noracymethadol are separate entries in the same paragraph, and the volume prints Methyadyl acetate where a reader would expect methadyl acetate. Regulation 7 of these Regulations governs the administration of drugs in Schedules II, III, IV and V, and regulation 8 their production and supply, which is the practical difference between a Schedule II entry and a Schedule I one. No class is given here. Class follows from Part I, Part II or Part III of the Act's Second Schedule under section 4, and the subsidiary volume read for this row prints no part of that schedule and uses the words Class A, Class B and Class C nowhere at all.

Morphine is printed in Belize's Misuse of Drugs Regulations at Schedule II paragraph 1, in the Misuse of Drugs Act Chapter 103 volume of the Subsidiary Laws of Belize, Revised Edition 2020, which shows the subsidiary laws as at 31 December 2020. It is printed in the left column with Morpheridine above it and Morphine methobromide and the pentavalent nitrogen morphine derivatives below. That schedule's heading reads «CONTROLLED DRUGS SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF REGULATIONS 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 25 AND 26.» The subsidiary law made under Chapter 103 therefore calls what it lists a controlled drug, and this substance is one of them. Schedule V paragraph 3 excepts any preparation of medicinal opium or of morphine containing not more than 0.2 per cent of morphine calculated as anhydrous morphine base and compounded so that it cannot be recovered by readily applicable means. Section 2(1)(w) of the Act defines morphine as the principal alkaloid of opium with the formula C17 H19 NO3, and section 7(4)(d) sets three grammes as the presumption quantity. The class is left open on purpose. The Act's own classification lives in its Second Schedule and the punishment table in its Third Schedule, and the volume read here is the subsidiary laws volume, whose contents page lists four instruments and none of them is the Act.

It is printed in the right column between Norpipanone and Oxymorphone. That schedule's heading reads «CONTROLLED DRUGS SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF REGULATIONS 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 25 AND 26.» The subsidiary law made under Chapter 103 therefore calls what it lists a controlled drug, and this substance is one of them. Oxymorphone is the next line and is a separate entry. The name was confirmed by reading the column in place, because this list is set in two columns and a name broken across a line, as Benzylmorphine and Ecgonine both are, will not be found by a single substring search. Section 4 of the Act sorts every controlled drug into Part I, Part II or Part III of the Second Schedule, which is Class A, Class B and Class C. That Second Schedule sits in the Substantive Laws volume of Chapter 103, which was not among the four instruments in the subsidiary volume read here, so no class is stated. The schedule placement in this cell is read off the instrument and is not printed in the quoted dossier extract, which names the Act's schedules only as a range.
