Summary

The Controlled Substances Act (CSA) establishes a unified legal framework to regulate certain drugs and other substances that are deemed to pose a risk of abuse and dependence.

The CSA may apply to drugs that are medical or recreational, legally or illicitly distributed, but the statute does not apply to all drugs. Rather, it applies to drugs and other substances that have been designated for control by Congress or through administrative proceedings.

The CSA also applies to controlled substance analogues that are intended to mimic the effects of controlled substances and to certain listed chemicals—chemicals commonly used to manufacture controlled substances.

Controlled substances subject to the CSA are divided into categories known as Schedules I through V based on their medical utility and their potential for abuse and dependence. Substances considered to pose the greatest risk to the public health and safety are subject to the most stringent controls and sanctions.

A lower schedule number corresponds to greater restrictions, so substances in Schedule I are subject to the strictest controls, while substances in Schedule V are subject to the least strict.

Many substances regulated under the CSA are also subject to other federal or state regulations, including the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
