Controlled Substances

Controlled substances are drugs or chemicals whose manufacture, possession, and use are regulated by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

At UC Riverside, controlled substances (CS) include all DEA-scheduled substances, DEA List 1 chemicals, and California Precursor Chemicals. This may include illegal drugs and prescription medications. 

UCR currently maintains a federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) registration governing the use of controlled substances for the purposes of research, teaching, veterinary care, or clinical trial. Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) is the Administrator for the Controlled Substance Program at UC Riverside.
