With the rapid spread of use and abuse in this country over the last decade, events relating to drugs have become increasingly prominent in the court of law as well as in society in general. It is anticipated that throughout the 1980s this problem will continue to be one of the major social problems in the United States. With the complexity of the Federal and state laws and their interrelationships, and with the increasing demand for the expert chemist or toxicologist, or both, in the courtroom, more education for these people relating to drugs must be implemented. The prosecuting and defense attorneys are also in need of accurate toxicological information to adequately handle cases in which drugs playa role. This book is intended to be a practical as well as an educational book-a resource tool for the active forensic chemist, as well as for the student. It is with the forensic chemist in mind that the material on controlled substances and substances found in cases of drug abuse has been arranged in a systematic order for quick and easy reference. This section includes synonyms, pharma• ceutical preparations, biochemistry and/or pharmacognosy, toxicology and/or pharmacology, and how the substance is controlled under Federal law. Under the concept of scientific consideration as compared with the Federal law, this book enables one to deal with some of the major conflicts in the American legal system concerning scientific evidence and how it is presented in a court of law. The first section of the book discusses the concept of drugs and specifica• tions that pharmaceutical companies must meet and maintain to market a new product. The next section deals with the Federal Controlled Substances Act, including requirements for registration of controlled substances, and the rules and regulations under which a forensic laboratory must handle drug evidence relating to testing. Among the topics discussed are security requirements, including recommendations presented by the Drug Enforcement Admin• istration for handling drug evidence obtained from police seizures, labeling and packaging requirements for controlled substances, record-handling for v vi PREFACE controlled substances, inventory requirements, prescriptions, and statement of the Act itself, listing drugs included in Schedules I, II, III, IV, and V. Brief discussions on adulterated and misbranded drugs, as well as illicit preparations and their legal status, are included. The section describing pharmaceutical dosage forms includes packaging types and formulations such as aerosols, capsules, creams, elixirs, emulsions, extracts, fluid extracts, gels, , injections, jellies, lotions, ointments, pastes, powders, solutions, spirits, suppositories, suspensions, syrups, tablets, tinctures, and . The discussion of excluded and excepted substances under the Controlled Substances Act provides a systematic protocol for handling pharmaceutical preparations encountered in the laboratory, especially when extrapolating Federal law to state laws. Specific exceptions are listed and described. The discussion termed" dangerous drugs" deals with a broad range of regulations outside the Controlled Substances Act. These include legend drugs, banned drugs, and nonapproved new drugs undergoing . Certain over-the-counter drugs, or nonprescription drugs, are listed if they are frequently found in cases of drug abuse or encountered in excepted and excluded substances. The final section of the text provides an alphabetical listing of all substances listed in the Controlled Substances Act, and other selected dangerous drugs and nonprescription drugs. Each substance is listed by generic name. A listing of other generic names and IUPAC names under the heading" Synonyms" provides the reader with a quick reference to the drug. Included with each substance is a listing of its common trade names and its formulations containing the titled drug. If the pharmaceutical preparation causes deviation of control due to its formulation, it is so stated. Also included for each substance is a discussion of the biochemistry and/or pharmacognosy, and of the toxicology-pharmacology of that substance. Basically, all information discussed is intended to include the necessary material to provide the scientific expert with information to testify in a court of law; to provide the attorneys with enough information to assist in prosecuting or defending a drug case; and to provide physicians with information on drugs and drug laws to assist in maintaining proper records and prescription practices. Under no circumstances do the authors of this book intend for this to be a legal document. All subject matter is based on legal documents with certain opinions of the authors found throughout. In general, this book should give the reader an overall working knowledge of how to apply state and Federal laws, how to interrelate these laws, and how to interpret them scientifically when called upon to do so. It is the intent of the authors to bridge the gap between scientific and legal investigations in the fields of controlled substances and dangerous drugs. PREFACE vii
