controlled substance

In 2016, multiple members of Johnson’s band were arrested in Mississippi for possession of a controlled substance, but the singer was not charged in the incident.

The DEA also suspended the controlled substances license of Dr. Scott William Smith, Mark’s doctor, who became licensed to prescribe ketamine in 48 states under the relaxation of the telehealth regulations during the pandemic.

He’s also accused of selling or transporting a controlled substance on Nov. 28, 2021.

Investigators plan to ask prosecutors to also charge Cortez for operating or maintaining a drug house for the sales or distribution of controlled substances.

For example, a Louisiana law went into effect this week designating the abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol as controlled substances, making possession without a prescription carry a maximum five year prison sentence.
