Kansas City criminal attorney Gregory M. Perlstein argues in the Journal of the Missouri Bar that a provision allowing the Division of Health to add drugs to the controlled substances list based on federal action constitutes unconstitutional delegation of legislative power. He notes the 1971 law ties updates to federal lists and requires hearings in some cases, while others rely solely on federal declaration without investigation.
