Question:

Butrazid (fct) is a controlled substance placed in schedule II by the federal government. One state has been having abuse and diversion problems with Butrazid, especially among teenagers. The drug has proven to be addictive and has even caused deaths, including the death of the daughter of a state legislator. The legislator vowed to take Butrazid off the streets by introducing a bill classifying Butrazid as a schedule I drug. Butrazid also happens to be the most effective drug available for a particular neurological disorder. Without the drug, patients suffering this disorder would face a greatly diminished quality of life. Despite the vocal opposition of these patients, the law passed. The patients sued to invalidate the law. Discuss whether this state law conflicts with the CSA.
