I go back to one of the points that I made to you earlier: substances without a listed legitimate use are those that are the most likely to be imported for use as alternatives to illicit drugs. So what we are looking at is substances that are the most likely to be used as alternatives to illicit drugs. The ban will not apply, as I have said to you before, to any substance with a legitimate use. So some of those that are already being brought into the country, which have a recognised legitimate use, fall into that category under the exemptions.
