Drug Scheduling in the United States:

Schedule I:

Schedule I drugs have no accepted safety for use under medical supervision, are not currently accepted for medical use, and supposedly have a high potential for abuse. Drugs such as cannabis, heroin, LSD, ecstasy and psilocybin/psilocin are Schedule I drugs. Although magic mushrooms are not Schedule I, they are illegal because they contain psilocybin.

Schedule II:

Drugs such as opium, cocaine, and amphetamines do have accepted medical use, but also a high potential for abuse. Amphetamines, for example, are used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Attention Deficit Disorder, in the medication Ritalin. Abuse of any of these drugs may lead to psychological and physical dependence, and therefore must be prescribed by a licensed physician.

Schedule III:

Ketamine (Special K), LSA, and Anabolic Steroids, have a high potential for psychological dependence, but overall, a low potential for abuse. They can be obtained through prescription.

Schedule IV:

Schedule IV drugs, like Xanex, Rohypnol (the date-rape drug), and Valium, have a low potential for abuse, and are currently accepted for medicinal use… These drugs can only be obtained through a prescription, which can be phoned in.

Schedule V:

Schedule V drugs have a low potential for abuse, and a limited dependency (both physical and psychological). Drugs such as Buprenorphine, and Pyrovalerone are accepted for medical use in the United Law Vault
