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—
(A) after manufacture, many controlled substances are transported in interstate commerce,
(B) controlled substances distributed locally usually have been transported in interstate commerce immediately before their distribution, and
(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

lethal in even miniscule doses, this is an extremely
deadly tactic, as it too often causes users to ingest a
fatal amount unknowingly.
SEC. 2. Agency Action. The Secretary of Health and
Human Services shall, consistent with section 319 of
the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 247d, consider

consistent with law, shall exercise all appropriate
emergency authorities, as well as other relevant au-
thorities, to reduce the number of deaths and minimize
the devastation the drug demand and opioid crisis in-
flicts upon American communities.

fect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive de-
partment or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Man-
agement and Budget relating to budgetary, administra-
tive, or legislative proposals.

sistent with applicable law and subject to the avail-

not, create any right or benefit, substantive or proce-
dural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party
against the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other
person.
(d) The Secretary of Health and Human Services is
hereby authorized and directed to publish this memo-
