Schedule II substances

Schedule II substances are drugs or chemicals that have a high potential for abuse and dependence but also have accepted medical uses under strict regulation. They include medications like opioids (e.g., oxycodone), stimulants (e.g., methamphetamine), and certain barbiturates. Due to their potential for misuse, they are tightly controlled by law, requiring special prescriptions and security measures for distribution. These substances are monitored to prevent illegal use and to ensure they are used appropriately in medical treatment.
