Controlled Substance
A controlled substance (CS) is a substance that has a stimulant, depressant, or hallucinogenic effect on the nervous system and can only be obtained by registrants with the DEA. If a chemical you require for research is classified as a Controlled Substance (CS), you must apply for a DEA license before work can begin.
- Controlled substances: Psychotropic drugs and precursors regulated under the Federal Controlled Substances Act and the California Uniform Controlled Substances Act.
- Listed chemicals (also known as precursor chemicals): Chemicals that may be used to manufacture controlled substances. Listed chemicals are regulated in order to prevent the illicit manufacture of controlled substances.
