Illegal substances are categorized into five unique schedules, 1st being the most serious and 5th the least, however all could result in serious criminal penalties. Substances with widely accepted medical use and low addiction risk fit into Schedule 5, and while they cannot be legally purchased in bulk or some highly concentrated forms, they are often widely available. Schedule 4 drugs have more potential for abuse, however still are used as medicine. Drugs in this category include Valium and similar substances. Schedule 3 narcotics, such as steroids, have a moderate abuse potential, yet are still medically accepted (this category includes some steroids and hospital grade painkillers such as morphine). Schedule 1 and 2 category drugs are what would usually be considered “hard drugs,” with cocaine and meth included in Schedule 2 and heroin, LSD, and others included in Schedule 1.
