Controlled Substances Trafficking Prohibition Act - Amends the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act to prohibit a U.S. resident who enters the United States through an international land border with a non-schedule I controlled substance for which the individual does not possess a valid prescription issued by a practitioner in accordance with applicable Federal and State law (or documentation that verifies the issuance of such a prescription to that individual) from importing the substance into the United States in an amount that exceeds 50 dosage units. Declares that such prohibition does not limit a State from imposing any additional requirement and does not affect the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Health and Human Services under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
