Abstract: The Controlled Substances Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C. 801-971)
establishes a closed system of distribution for controlled substances.
To this end, controlled substances are closely monitored and tightly
regulated as they are distributed through the supply chain. One tool
that helps to maintain the closed system of distribution is the CSA
provision that states it ``shall be unlawful for any person to
distribute a controlled substance in schedules I or II to another
except in pursuance of a written order of the person to whom such
substance is distributed, made on a form to be issued by the Attorney
General in blank in accordance with subsection (d) of this section.''
21 U.S.C. 828(a).
