Ruan v. United States: SCOTUS Potentially Limits CSA’s Application 

In a decision favorable to pharmaceutical prescribers, the United States Supreme Court in Ruan v. United States held that the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a defendant knowingly or intentionally violated the Controlled Substances Act. The decision firmly establishes a good faith defense, and good faith jury instruction when supported by sufficient evidence, for criminal defendants charged with CSA violations.
