Schedule I Drug

A Schedule I drug is a substance that the U.S. government considers to have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use in the United States. These drugs are deemed dangerous and are illegal to manufacture, buy, or sell. Examples include heroin and psilocybin mushrooms. The classification helps regulate and control substances to prevent misuse and protect public health and safety. Schedule I status makes it very difficult to research these drugs legally due to strict regulations.
