Overview
This act establishes a comprehensive framework for regulating controlled substances, organizing them into schedules based on their potential for abuse and accepted medical uses, and setting out how those schedules are created, modified, and published. It governs who may lawfully manufacture, distribute, prescribe, dispense, or administer these substances, imposing registration, recordkeeping, reporting, and confidentiality requirements, and conditioning prescribing on a legitimate medical purpose. It also creates a prescription-monitoring system administered by state regulatory agencies, extends recordkeeping duties to chemical precursors and laboratory apparatus, and provides administrative penalties and criminal offenses for violations.
