Cecille's Creativity

Drugs needs to be checked before it is to be released to the market for people's use. But there are those what we call Controlled Substances which this drugs are with abuse potential which can trigger the health of the people when used.

That is why, Controlled Substances Act of 1970 emphasizes that:
Schedule I (C-I): High abuse potential and no accepted medical use like the heroin, marijuana and LSD.

Schedule II (C-II): High abuse potential with severe dependence liability like the narcotics, amphetamines and barbiturates.

Schedule III (C-III): Less abuse potential than schedule II drugs and moderate dependence liability like the non-barbiturates sedatives, non-amphetamine stimulants and limited amounts of certain narcotics.

Schedule IV (C-IV): Less abuse potential than schedule III and limited dependence liability like some sedatives, anti-anxiety agents and non-narcotics analgesics.

Schedule V (C-V): Limited abuse potential like the narcotics for antitussives or antidiarrheals.
