FDA licenses and inspects legal drugs, foods and additives. DEA is an enforcement agency dealing with drug crimes.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are two federal agencies that have authority under Title 21 of the United States Code. The DEA enforces regulations related to controlled substances, while the FDA regulates food, drugs, cosmetics, and medical devices under Title 21.
FDA
The DEA is under the Department of Justice. The FDA is under the Department of Health and Human Services. One does not have authority over the other. There is a Memo of Understanding ( MOU 225-15-011) that describes the relationship, information sharing, and collaborative efforts between the two agencies.
The FDA is responsible for making sure controlled substances are safe for people to take the U.S.

In the U.S., if it's called a drug (claimed to treat or cure a disease or malady) it's regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. All drugs are regulated and have to meet standards set by the FDA in the Code of Federal Regulations. Drug manufacturer's are required to meet FDA mandates such as GMP's or Good Manufacturing Practices and are required to follow a 'Quality System' which involves a slew of factors and tons of documentation proving that they are in compliance with these laws. Did you mean what is a controlled drug. That's a whole different question and involves substances that are addictive and not only is the FDA, but the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) scrutinized. There are different classes of controlled drugs.
