Schedule I
The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.
The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.
Some Schedule I substances are heroin, LSD, marijuana, and methaqualone.


Schedule III
The drug or other substance has a potential for abuse less than the drugs or othe substances in Schedules I and II.
The drug or other substance has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
Abuse of the drug or other substance may lead to moderte or low physical dependence or high psychological dependence.
Anabolic steroids, codeine and hydrocodone with aspirin or Tylenol, and some barbiturates are Schedule III substances.
taken from the department of justice website.

The criminal justice system uses the Schedules (1,2,3,4) to rank the severity of drugs through certain criterea. Schedule 1 is supposed to have a high level of abuse and no medicinal value.
As you go down the schedules the drugs fall into there catagories on there medicinal values versus there level of abuse. As you can probaly see some of these rankings are somewhat bullshit. Marijuana is listed as a schedule 1 drug even though it has medicinal value and "abuse" is mistaken for irresponsibility of the particular user. Wheareas amphetamines and methamphetamines are listed as a schedule two drug and they have no real medicinal value besides stringing out an overwieght person to the point they start to lose weight. Some of these drugs that fall between schedules are the same drug, just given different levels of abuse do to their application. Opuim for existance. If the schedules involved legal drugs as well as illegal, nicotine should be listed as a schedule 1 drug as well. As much as we like it, steroids are not going to be legal. Since it has to be scheduled, i think schedule 3 isn't too bad. Maybe schedule four would be better (since you can't really compare the level of abuse to codeine which is an opiate, the same as opium). I am just glad that the government's knowledge of steroids isn't so terrible that it is ranked higher.
