U.S. Drug Policy
Vicodin and Tylenol with codeine are among the prescription drugs on the Schedule 3 list.
While lots of money flows through the illegal drug market, the market for licensed pharmaceuticals carries just as much potential for profit. Laws and regulations surrounding prescription drugs work to prevent illegal manufacturing and distribution practices. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938 sets the parameters for which drugs fall within the “prescription drug” classification.
The five schedules or drug classes were put into place by the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. Each class of drugs carries a certain abuse potential that decreases with each successive class schedule. For example, Schedule 1 drugs hold the highest potential for abuse and dependency while the Schedule 5 drugs hold the lowest. The Schedule 3 narcotics list consists of drugs that hold a mild to moderate abuse potential. With the exception of Schedule 1 drugs, each class of drugs also holds certain accepted medical treatment uses.
