Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration — observed across 2 documents over 91 days. Use the source documents below before deciding whether this affects your business.

In plain English

The DEA placed bromazolam, a synthetic street drug, into its highest restriction category, making it illegal to manufacture, sell, or own without special federal permission. If your business handles chemicals or pharmaceuticals, immediately check your inventory to confirm you have no bromazolam products, since possessing it without a DEA license brings serious criminal penalties.
