Introduction
Any person who handles or intends to handle controlled substances must
obtain a registration issued by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). A
unique number is assigned to each legitimate handler of controlled drugs:
importer, exporter, manufacturer, distributor, hospital, pharmacy,
practitioner, and researcher. This number must be made available to the
supplier by the customer prior to the purchase of a controlled substance.
Thus, the opportunity for unauthorized transaction is greatly diminished.

permit holder. EHSO cannot accept controlled substances for disposal.
