It means the D.E.A regulates the sale and possesion of these substances. It covers drugs from heroin to marijuana and everthing in between. There are 5 classes of drugs. A good resource is www.erowid.com

A controlled substance is one that may or may not have medical use and has the potential for abuse. For example, heroin has no medical value and has a high abuse potential. On the other hand, Valium has a medical use and a low abuse potential. The DEA is responsible for regulating the sales, traffic and prescribing of controlled substances and for the DEA licensing of health care providers, pharmacies and researchers to prescribe, dispense and use them in research.
When a health care provider prescribes a controlled substance, a special triplicate prescription form must be used with the prescriber's name and DEA# imprinted on it. There can be no mistakes or cross-outs, patient information must be included and the prescription must be written entirely in the same handwriting. This prescription is good for only 7 days. (another way of regulating) A copy is sent to the DEA.
The DEA has devised a table of schedules ranging from I to V and has assigned drugs to these schedules, with Schedule I drugs having no medical value and the highest abuse potential while Schedule V drugs have medical value and the least abuse potential. All those in between have medical use and varying degrees of abuse potential.

I don't know about the DEA, but I think the FDA too controls drugs....any kind that a person can become addicted to. One of my medications can be addictive, so it's also called a controlled substance. I can't get it refilled until almost all of the previous bottle is gone.....to keep me from overdosing or becoming addicted to it.

Some women like to be subservient to men... But that is something that needs to be spoken of openly and negotiated LONG before the 'nailing' is to take place... "No" can have many meanings... Which is why EVERY COUPLE should have a "Safe Word" to make it 10000000% clear when things go from 'green' to 'red'. In the BDSM Community there are a number of safe guards to protect the bottom... "Safe Words" are one way but during play, a Top will specifically ask "Color" and the bottom will reply with "Green", "Yellow", "Red", or "Blue". Green = Everything is fine Yellow = Take it down a bit Red = STOP NOW! Blue = "I'm not ready to stop but I don't like this any more, please alternate to something a little different, Master." (Blue is not an "Official" color, it is something I have seen used by various friends in the Scene) I may have learned all of this while getting into the Scene, but it SHOULD be common practice in all sexual relationships... Not just "Play". Boundaries need to be discussed openly... Acts and methods should be discussed and negotiated PRIOR to getting in to the sexual mind set... I find it strange that BDSM, seen as "Strange" and even "Dangerous" has a mantra of "Safe, Sane, and Consensual" while "Vanilla" relationships are just 'take it as you go' and never talk about anything because it is embarrassing..." TALK TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND AND FIND OUT WHAT HER DEAL IS! If she says "No" but urges you on you get confused so you need to agree to something that ACTUALLY means "No" like "Banana" or "Pin Wheel" so that she won't say "No" and have you not get it THIS TIME and have a bad experience... Leaving BOTH OF YOU Victims of not talking about this before hand.

substances are controlled because they are addictive and have a potential for abuse/misuse..
generally these are substances that make a person fel "buzzed" or put them in a different state of mind..things that give you a different feeling mentally,physically,and emotionally..
