Schedule I classification

Schedule I classification refers to a category of substances in the United States that are considered to have a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use, and a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision. Drugs in this category, such as heroin and LSD, are strictly regulated by the government. Essentially, Schedule I substances are viewed as illegal and dangerous, and research involving them is heavily restricted, reflecting concerns about their impact on health and society.
