Which statute places drugs into schedules?

Which statute places drugs into schedules?

• A. Federal Controlled Substances Act
• B. Nebraska Constitution
• C. NRS 28-500
• D. NRS 28-405 places drugs into schedules

Answer: (D)

Scheduling drugs is governed by a single overarching statute that creates five schedules and defines which substances belong in each one. This Federal Controlled Substances Act organizes substances by medical use, potential for abuse, and safety, and it sets out the framework for how those substances are regulated, manufactured, and punished. States may reference or mirror these schedules in their own laws, but the authority to place substances into schedules at the national level comes from the Federal Controlled Substances Act. Choices that point to a state constitution or to specific state statutes aren’t the basis for the national scheduling system, though states sometimes maintain their own lists in addition to or aligned with the federal schedules.
