> Actually you are misunderstanding the terms used. … "Controled Substances" are any perscribed meds, "Scheduled" refers to the drugs of possible abuse (james)
That would seem to be the common sense understanding, but U.S. Code seems to clearly define "controlled substance" Can anyone cite a definition other than Title 21, Section 802 :
………………………………………….
The term ''controlled substance'' means a drug or other substance, or immediate precursor, included in schedule I, II, III, IV, or V of part B of this subchapter.
………………………………………….James here.....
Tis confusing ! I did look around the net, even more confusion. My local pharmacist agrees with the way I use these terms. Scheduled meds are 1,2,3,4, and 5. Controled meds are all the prescribed meds, including the scheduled ones.
So, going forward, now you know what I mean when I use these terms. Right or wrong, I really don't care, I know what I mean, and now y'all do too.
