The Controlled Substance Act (CSA) establishes a federal policy to regulate the manufacturing, distribution, importation, exportation, and use of regulated substances. The CSA lays the framework for categorizing controlled substances and creates a legal foundation for their regulation. This statute was an effort to combine all previous federal drug laws and allow for federal law enforcement of controlled substances, serving as the legal foundation in the federal fight against drug abuse. The cornerstone of the CSA is the classification system by which it regulates controlled substances. This system has 5 schedules of these drugs, numbered I through V. The CSA stratifies these based on a substance’s accepted medical use, potential abuse/addiction, and harmfulness. This activity highlights the categorization schedules, amendments, prescription requirements, and other pertinent factors for interprofessional team members to understand and apply the legal structure to their clinical practice.
