What will be an ideal response?


The Controlled Substance Act (CSA), Title II of the federal Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention Act of 1970, requires law enforcement agencies to control the abuse of drugs and other chemical substances. A consolidation of numerous laws that regulate the manufacture and distribution of narcotics, depressants, and hallucinogens, the CSA places chemical substances under five schedules. A drug's placement is based on its medical use, potential for abuse, and dependence liability.
