JUDICIAL DECISIONS

O. C. G. A. § 16-13-70 et seq. is not unconstitutionally vague, nor does it constitute illegal delegation of legislative authority for failing to list or codify which drugs are dangerous. Ward v. State, 248 Ga. 60, 281 S. E.2d 503, 1981 Ga. LEXIS 900 (1981).

Opinion Notes

Georgia State Board of Pharmacy lacks discretion to refrain from enforcing O. C. G. A. Art. 3, Ch. 13, T. 16. 1982 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 82-44.

State and local agencies are subject to the requirements of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act, O. C. G. A. § 16-13-20 et seq., but are not subject to the requirements of the Dangerous Drug Act, O. C. G. A. § 16-13-70 et seq., since there is no definition of “person” specifically applicable to the Dangerous Drug Act. 1986 Op. Att’y Gen. No. 86-28.
