Controlled Substances

A controlled substance is generally a drug or chemical whose manufacture, possession, or use is regulated by federal and state government. Controlled substances may be used for scientific research purposes, to the extent permitted by a registrant's license and registration, and in conformity with local, state, and federal statutes and regulations.
