Is the Controlled Substance Act Constitutional? Specifically, Hardison is arguing that his case should be dismissed because the Controlled Substance Act is unconstitutional. Hardison’s argument rests on the claim that both the federal and Wyoming Controlled Substance Acts violate the Constitution by applying unequally to different people.

But for some reason, they are excluded from the Controlled Substance act, while cannabis is not.
