What are Schedule I drugs?

• A. Drugs with no currently accepted medical use and high potential for abuse.
• B. Drugs with no currently accepted medical use and low potential for abuse.
• C. Drugs with accepted medical use and high potential for abuse.
• D. Drugs with accepted medical use and no potential for abuse.

Answer: (B)

Drug scheduling classifies substances by their medical use and potential for abuse. Schedule I refers to drugs that have no currently accepted medical use in the United States and a high potential for abuse, with safety under medical supervision not established. That description—no accepted medical use and high abuse potential—is the one that fits Schedule I. In contrast, options implying some medical use or a low abuse potential don’t align with this category. Typical examples you might hear about in this schedule include heroin and certain psychedelics like LSD.
