Talk:Controlled Substances Act/Archive 2

Added citations to GHB section
I added two needed citations to the GHB section. In addition, I noted that GHB has medicinal uses in addition to anesthesia and that the addition of GHB to the Schedule followed adverse effects in recreational users including death.Laura.Freberg (talk) 04:10, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Article improvements and tag removal
I made what I hope is perceived as improvements and will go back over the article shortly. I added links and reviewed the neutrality as per the tag as well as removing the NPOV and Refimprove tags. Anyone that would like to review the article can let me know about any specific neutrality problems and I will address them. Otr500 (talk)

U.S. Congress can't pass an Illinios state bill
Due to pseudoephedrine (PSE) and ephedrine being widely used in the manufacture of methamphetamine, the U.S. Congress passed the Methamphetamine Precursor Control Act

U.S. Congress couldn't have passed the Methamphetamine Precursor Control Act -- its wikipedia page says that it is an Illinios state bill. Jkister (talk) 02:38, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Legal status
This article on the effect of marijuana legalization on the US alcohol industry at the Financial Times (possibly behind a paywall if you don't reach it through Google or some affiliated link) includes the passage


 * But somewhat unusually in the US, the federal Controlled Substances Act does not pre-empt state laws governing prohibited drugs, which gives individual states the leeway to legalise [sic] cannabis.


 * State and federal laws running parallel with each other create ambiguities, however, whereby the federal prosecutor has the discretion to enforce the law under certain circumstances, though there is, as yet, no example of this.

which I had never heard before and—if accurate—goes a long way towards explaining why states have been able to ignore federal marijuana restrictions without more pushback. Is that exemption from the usual preëmption of state laws accurate? and, if so, why is that not somewhere in the lead of this article? — Llywelyn II   14:35, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

They made it a misdemeanor, you're feeling your wild oats
If someones going to slap a dubious tag on there, let it be someone who's at least glanced at how the template is configured to be used. Someone clearly took a lot of time to explain it so even a novice such as myself can figure it out, I am assuming this is because some editors may insist these sorts of edits only be made by editors willing to invest two seconds in building a quality reference encyclopedia. Can we remove the 'original research' tag? It has three citations. In the future, if you don't have the time or inclination to go through the template documentation someone at the tearoom, among other places, would probably be plenty enthused to assist you. - 55378008a (talk) 12:16, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
