@Nonilex This is the 2nd post like this I've seen. The governor of Louisiana doesn't have authority to classify any drug. That is one function of DEA. There is a procedure to follow to REQUEST a change in drug classification. The headline of the article is misleading as most headlines are.

...Republican Gov. Jeff Landry signed a PROPOSAL into law Friday that designates two drugs used in reproductive health care as “controlled dangerous substances” in Louisiana...
