==Constitutionality==
The constitutionality of the Controlled Substance Act has been disputed. In 1972, the [[National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse]], commissioned by President [[Richard Nixon]], reported questioned whether the Act has violated various constitutional limitation on federal power. Nixon and the Congress ignored the committee's findings and the Act was implemented anyways. In 2005, the Supreme Court decided in case ''[[Gonzales v. Raich]]'', in a 6-3 decision that the Controlled Substance Act did not violate the [[Commerce Clause]] in U.S. [[Constitution]].
