| Houston Criminal Lawyer Andy Nolen can protect your rights, ensure you receive fair treatment, and make a tremendous difference in your case and how it will affect you for the rest of your life. As an attorney, Andy Nolen's philosophy is grounded in the strong belief that his clients should be fully informed about every aspect of their case as it progresses. You need a good attorney who will prepare your case thoroughly and who will make a strong and reasonable presentation to the court. Being charged with any crime is a frightening experience. This is especially true for a person who has never had contact with the criminal justice system before. Suddenly, you find yourself thrust into a world you never imagined you would be a part of, and subjected to indignities you never thought you would experience. The stress of being the subject of an investigation or the trauma of being arrested and booked into a jail can truly be overwhelming. For some people, the experience is so traumatic that it even makes them question their most basic assumptions about what kind of person they are. Fortunately, being arrested or charged with a crime is not the end of the world. |

| PART A - INTRODUCTORY PROVISIONS § 801 Note Short Title This title may be cited as the 'Controlled Substances Act'. § 801. Congressional findings and declarations: controlled substances. The Congress makes the following findings and declarations: * (1) Many of the drugs included within this subchapter have a useful and legitimate medical purpose and are necessary to maintain the health and general welfare of the American people. * (2) The illegal importation, manufacture, distribution, and possession and improper use of controlled substances have a substantial and detrimental effect on the health and general welfare of the American people. * (3) A major portion of the traffic in controlled substances flows through interstate and foreign commerce. Incidents of the traffic which are not an integral part of the interstate or foreign flow, such as manufacture, local distribution, and possession, nonetheless have a substantial and direct effect upon interstate commerce because - o (A) after manufacture, many controlled substances are transported in interstate commerce, o (B) controlled substances distributed locally usually have been transported in interstate commerce immediately before their distribution, and o (C) controlled substances possessed commonly flow through interstate commerce immediately prior to such possession. * (4) Local distribution and possession of controlled substances contribute to swelling the interstate traffic in such substances. * (5) Controlled substances manufactured and distributed intrastate cannot be differentiated from controlled substances manufactured and distributed interstate. Thus, it is not feasible to distinguish, in terms of controls, between controlled substances manufactured and distributed interstate and controlled substances manufactured and distributed intrastate. * (6) Federal control of the intrastate incidents of the traffic in controlled substances is essential to the effective control of the interstate incidents of such traffic. * (7) The United States is a party to the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961, and other international conventions designed to establish effective control over international and domestic traffic in controlled substances. |
