However, this does **not** mean narcotics are unregulated—other laws (like the Customs Act 1901 itself, the Criminal Code, or newer regulations) continue to control these substances. This just removes one specific, older set of rules."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-narcotic-substances-repeal-regulations-2007","history":"/api/acts/customs-narcotic-substances-repeal-regulations-2007/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-narcotic-substances-repeal-regulations-2007/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-narcotic-substances-repeal-regulations-2007/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-narcotic-substances-repeal-regulations-2007/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-narcotic-substances-repeal-regulations-2007/documents"}}
