Maryland Controlled Dangerous Substances Act

Maryland · CR · §§ 5-101 to 5-908 · 84 sections

Overview

This act regulates the manufacture, distribution, dispensing, prescribing, and possession of controlled dangerous substances, classifying them into schedules and giving a designated authority power to add to or amend those schedules. Its central mechanism is registration: manufacturers, distributors, prescribers, and other handlers must be registered — and can be denied registration or have it suspended or revoked — while also keeping records, using official order forms, labeling containers as specified, and observing prescription rules that include discussing the risk of dependence with patients and limiting the amount of opioid initially prescribed in certain circumstances. Enforcement runs through administrative inspections and warrants, injunctions, seizure, and nuisance abatement, backed by criminal penalties that reach attempt and conspiracy and escalate for second or subsequent offenses.
