US to extend "Controlled Substance Analogue Act" to Schedule III-IV drugs

Actually, a large constituency of the remaining GOP are small-government Libertarians from out West (Nevada, Arizona, etc). Many of them want to abolish the DEA and the CSA.

Moderate Republicans (and big city Republicans) allied with conservative Democrats are usually the culprits behind drug legislation- they use it as a "Bi-Partisan" political stepping stone to higher office.

Not too long ago John McCain authored/sponsored a bill that would ban Federal and State funding of Methadone Maintenance.

People like him (and his Democratic counterparts) are much more dangerous with regards to social policy than those who are considered right-wing crackpots/extremists like Ron Paul (who personally wrote a letter to Congress seeking an end to the War On Doctors, i.e. the DEA busting doctors who prescribe OxyContin/CII analgesics to their patients).

Searching for evidence of this would be futile until it comes closer to vote time. It's probably buried in a health care funding proposal or something. You won't hear about it until a dozen guys in all black riot gear, Kevlar with three-letter patches on their chests storm into your house with assault rifles and demand to see your 'motherfucking godless commie' hands for that half a gram of Phenazepam you ordered.
