Disclaimer
Section 812 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. §801
et seq.) (CSA) lists substances which were controlled in 1970 when the
law was enacted. Since then, approximately 160 substances have been
added, removed, or transferred from one schedule to another. The current
official list of controlled substances can be found in section 1308 of the most recent issue of Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1300 to end (21 CFR §1308) and the final rules which were published in the Federal Register subsequent to the issuance of the CFR.
This list describes the
basic or parent chemical and do not describe the salts, isomers and
salts of isomers, esters, ethers and derivatives which may be controlled
substances. These lists are intended as general references and are not comprehensive listings of all controlled substances. Please
note that a substance need not be listed as a controlled substance to
be treated as a Schedule I substance for criminal prosecution. A
controlled substance analogue is a substance which is intended for human
consumption and is structurally or pharmacologically substantially
similar to or is represented as being similar to a Schedule I or
Schedule II substance and is not an approved medication in the United
States. (See 21 U.S.C. §802(32)(A) for the definition of a controlled substance analogue and 21 U.S.C. §813 for the schedule.)
