I'm pretty sure each specific drug is mentioned rather than a blanket ban on opiates. Certainly diamorphine/heroin is separate from medical morphine or pure opium.
Not sure about MDMA/ecstasy, there have certainly been cases where people have walked from court when the drugs they have been found with were not actually ecstasy when tested even though they did have similar effects.

Of course another option would be to legalise pretty much everything bar heroin and crack, tax it, enforce quality control and let people make their own choices...
