What does the Federal Controlled Substances Act establish?

  1. A public system of distribution

  2. An open system of distribution

  3. A 'closed system' of inventory and accounting for distribution

  4. Unregulated distribution

The correct answer is: A 'closed system' of inventory and accounting for distribution

The Federal Controlled Substances Act established a 'closed system' of inventory and accounting for distribution of federally controlled substances. This means that the distribution of controlled substances is closely monitored and regulated, rather than being an open and unregulated process (option B) or a public system that is not closely monitored (option A). The Act also prohibits unregulated distribution (option D) in order to prevent the diversion and abuse of controlled substances.
