True or False: DEA registrants may store stocks of Schedule V controlled substances openly for easy access.

The correct response indicates that DEA registrants are not permitted to store stocks of Schedule V controlled substances openly for easy access. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has specific regulations governing the storage and security of controlled substances. These regulations are designed to prevent unauthorized access and potential misuse or theft of these substances.

Controlled substances, even those classified as Schedule V, which are considered to have a lower potential for abuse compared to other schedules, still require secure storage. This typically means that they should be kept in a locked cabinet or safe that is inaccessible to unauthorized personnel. The regulations around controlled substances emphasize the importance of security to protect both animal and human subjects from the risks associated with mishandling or abuse of these drugs.

The designation of Schedule V does not exempt these substances from the need for secure storage. Therefore, the assertion that registrants may store them openly contradicts the regulatory requirements that are in place for the safety and compliance of controlled substance management.
