Schedule II

Schedule II refers to a category of drugs under the Controlled Substances Act in the United States. These substances have a high potential for abuse and can lead to severe psychological or physical dependence. However, they do have accepted medical uses, often for treating severe pain or specific conditions. Examples include opioids like morphine and oxycodone, as well as stimulants like amphetamine. Due to their potential for abuse, Schedule II drugs are subject to strict regulations regarding their prescription, distribution, and use to minimize the risk of addiction and misuse.
