    "content": "Disqualification if convicted of an offence under this Act. 85A. A person who is convicted of an offence under this Act shall be disqualified from being elected or appointed as a public officer for thirty years after the conviction. Amendment of the First Schedule to No. 4 of 1994. 10C. The principal Act is amended by inserting the word “tramadol” in the First Schedule. Amendment of the Second Schedule to No. 4 of 1994. 10D. The principal Act is amended by inserting the word “ketamine” in the Second Schedule. The justification is that Clause 4(b) provides, in details, for the offences relating to conspiracy, therefore, Section 81(b) is repetitive. For Clause 10C, the justification is that tramadol has opioid-like effects. It is, however, abused as a prescription medicine. Therefore, there is need to list it as a controlled drug. Finally, for Clause 10D, the justification is that at high doses, ketamine produces dissociate state with visual and auditory hallucinations. There is increase in recreational use which has prompted for the drug to be listed as controlled substance."
