| Abstract: | This article examines the control of drugs in Botswana. It concentrates on one drug called Mandrax or Methaqualone BP, a drug that has enjoyed the attention of both the legislature and the courts in Botswana and that is prevalent in the region. The first part gives a brief historical account of general drug control, both internationally (amongst others in Great Britain) and locally. The second part deals with problems arising from control of Mandrax in Botswana. These problems fall into three main categories. The first deals with the evidentiary aspect. The second covers the constitutional aspect. The third has to do with the sentencing aspect. The third part looks at problems inherent in any attempt to control drugs and proposes what is thought should be done if drug control is to be achieved. Notes, ref. |
