Which law governs the classification of dangerous drugs in New Mexico?

The classification of dangerous drugs in New Mexico is governed by the New Mexico Controlled Substances Act. This Act outlines the scheduling of substances based on their potential for abuse, medical use, and safety or dependence risks. It establishes criteria for legal definitions of various drugs, including those considered dangerous or controlled, and sets forth regulations for their manufacture, distribution, and prescription.

The other options pertain to different aspects of drug regulation. The New Mexico Drug Device and Cosmetic Act primarily focuses on the safety and efficacy of drug devices and cosmetics, rather than the classification of drugs based on their potential danger. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act serves at the federal level to regulate drugs and food safety but does not specifically govern New Mexico's classification of dangerous drugs. Lastly, the New Mexico Pharmacy Act addresses the practice of pharmacy and the licensing of pharmacists, but it does not focus specifically on the classification of dangerous drugs.

Thus, the New Mexico Controlled Substances Act is the relevant law that specifically deals with the classification of dangerous drugs within the state.
