Controlled Drug Policy
The Controlled Substances Act, Title II of the Comprehensive
Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, provides for
the regulation of the manufacture and distribution of
narcotics, stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens, anabolic
steroids, and chemicals used in the production of controlled
substances. Federal law requires that anyone using
controlled drugs in the conduct of research have
registration with the Drug Enforcement Administration
(D.E.A.) of the United States Department of Justice.
To meet the needs of investigators that do not have D.E.A.
registration, the Center for Comparative Medicine (CCM)
will assist in anesthesia and euthanasia services on a
fee-for-service basis. Requests for this technical
assistance can be scheduled by contacting CCM at extension 2731.
Further CCM will dispense the drugs for the research use on
a fee-per service basis. The CCM veterinary staff is
available for consultation regarding drugs or practices that
can be substituted for the use of controlled substances.
