James v. Holder, 698 F.3d 24, *27 (1st Cir. Oct. 19, 2012) (Any controlled substance within the meaning of INA 101(a)(43)(B), 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(43)(B), is also automatically a controlled substance under the Connecticut statute. Conn. Gen.Stat. Ann. 21a"243(g); cf. 18 U.S.C. 924(c)(2); 21 U.S.C. 812. Although the state can choose to make other drugs subject to its statute, see Conn. Gen.Stat. Ann. 21a"243(c), James does not argue that it has in fact done so, cf. Gonzales v. Duenas"Alvarez, 549 U.S. 183, 193 (2007), nor have we found any evidence that it has done so.).
