Drug addiction is a serious problem worldwide. Although not all drugs are the same, they are all equally dangerous as they are addictive. The U.S. government passed legislation in 1970 known as the Controlled Substances Act to list these drugs according to how dangerous they are. They created five lists or ‘schedules’ where schedule 1 drugs are the most dangerous, with schedule 5 drugs being the least.

What Are Schedule-I Drugs?
Schedule-I drugs are unregulated by the FDA and carry a high risk of addiction. They are commonly called “street drugs,” and are the least safe of all controlled substances. There are also no accepted safety norms for these drugs. The drugs carry a heavy penalty of up to $2 million apart from five to 40 years of prison time. Thankfully, Oregon’s progressive drug laws prevent users from being arrested for having small amounts of schedule-I narcotics in their possession; however, Schedule-I drugs can have profoundly destructive effects on people’s health, well-being, and family life if you do not seek substance abuse treatment.
Some common Schedule I drugs include:
- Heroin
- LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide)
- Marijuana
- Ecstasy (Methylenedioxymethamphetamine)
- Peyote
- Psilocybin
- Synthetic Marijuana
List of Schedule-II Drugs
Schedule-II drugs are drugs that have a high risk of abuse, but slightly less as compared to Schedule 1 drugs. These drugs are also dangerous and can lead to severe dependence. Most of these drugs are sold on the streets, but some like Fentanyl, Adderall, and Ritalin may also be prescribed for certain conditions.
Some Schedule 2 drugs are:
- Fentanyl
- Cocaine
- Vicodin
- Methadone
- Hydromorphone (Dilaudid)
- Methamphetamine
- Oxycodone (OxyContin)
- Meperidine (Demerol)
- Adderall
- Dexedrine
- Ritalin
