Potentially addictive or habituating drugs for human and animal use are classified under this law. Examples of controlled substances include barbiturates and narcotics. The Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), enforces this law and requires appropriate security and record management for use of these substances. Several departments at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and College of Dentistry (UNL/CD) have DEA permits. Records of where the drugs go from the departments and what animals receive the drugs must be a part of the record management for the DEA permit.
