Uniform Controlled Substances Act
- Uniform Controlled Substances Act
The Uniform Controlled Substances Act was drafted by the US Department of Justice in 1969[ [http://www.druglibrary.net/special/king/dhu/dhu28.htm The 1970 Act: Don't Sit There, Amend Something ] ] and promulgated by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws while the federal Controlled Substances Act was being drafted. Modeled after the federal Act, the uniform act established a drug scheduling system. Every state has adopted the uniform act. [ [http://www.bookrags.com/research/controlled-substances-act-of-1970-edaa-01/ Controlled Substances Act of 1970 | Encyclopedia of Drugs and Addictive Behavior ] ] Rufus King notes that "it is provided that the state authorities must designate, reschedule, or delete substances whenever notified of such federal action unless they invoke an elaborate notice-and-hearing procedure to resist the federal ruling".]References
