Uniform Controlled Substances Act
Wisconsin · Uniform Controlled Substances Act · §§ 961.001 to 961.69 · 71 sections
Overview
The Uniform Controlled Substances Act governs drugs and related substances whose handling the state regulates, reaching their manufacture, compounding, distribution, delivery, dispensing, and administration by pharmacies, prescribers, distributors, and other regulated handlers. It works largely through a detailed set of defined terms — narcotic drugs, opiates, immediate precursors, controlled substance analogs, and cannabis and its derivatives among them — that fixes what falls within the regulated class and who is subject to the rules, and it assigns oversight to a designated state board or department operating alongside federal drug enforcement authorities. As a uniform act, it is meant to be construed so the law stays consistent across the states that adopt it, subject to carve-outs such as the medical use of cannabis and certain veterinary biologic products.
