The Controlled Substances Act, Title II of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, provides for the regulation of the manufacture and distribution of narcotics, stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens, anabolic steroids, and chemicals used in the production of controlled substances. Federal law requires that anyone using controlled drugs in the conduct of research have registration with the Drug Enforcement Administration (D.E.A.) of the United States Department of Justice.
In compliance with the recommendations of the General Counsel of Emory University Hospital and Emory University Hospital Pharmacy policy, the Division of Animal Resources (D.A.R.) will sell, transfer or supply controlled substances only to Emory University faculty that maintain current and appropriate registration. Physicians must be licensed to practice medicine and have valid registration with the D.E.A. Non-physicians must register with both the D.E.A and the Georgia Drug and Narcotics Division. The purchase of Schedule II drugs from the Division of Animal Resources requires a completed D.E.A. Form-222 with the order. Drugs listed on Schedules III, IV, and V can be obtained by placing an order with the D.A.R. office and including your D.E.A. registration number and expiration date.
To meet the needs of investigators
that do not have D.E.A. registration,
the Division of Animal Resources
can provide anesthesia and
euthanasia services on a fee-for-service
basis. Requests for this technical
assistance can be scheduled
by telephoning the offices
of the Division of Animal Resources
(7-3685). The veterinary staff
is available for consultation
regarding drugs or practices
that can be substituted for
the use of controlled substances.
