Controlled substances are drugs that have rules about how they are used. They can help when someone is sick. But some can be addicting or dangerous.
The law sorts these drugs into groups called “schedules”. There are five schedules:
| Schedule | Drug Examples | Use Type |
|---|---|---|
| I | Heroin, LSD | Not for medical use |
| II | Morphine, Adderall | For medical use with rules |
| III | Codeine, Anabolic steroids | Less rules than II |
| IV | Xanax, Ambien | Even less rules |
| V | Robitussin AC, Lomotil | Least rules |
