Controlled Substances

Captions available

The idea

Controlled substances are drugs regulated under federal law because of their potential for abuse and dependence.

In practice

They are placed in five schedules, from schedule one, the highest abuse potential with no accepted medical use, to schedule five, the lowest.

Where people slip

Every controlled substance in the office must be stored, counted and recorded under strict rules.
