Different Schedules Of Controlled Dangerous Substance NJ

By Anthony Lewis


Some several categories of compounds that have been classified to be CDS in most statutory law enforcement. This means that they cannot be distributed to any medical institution, sold or processed unless they have been authorized. Normally, drugs classified as CDS are considered to be highly susceptible to being abused hence leading to physic dependence. Thus, they are regulated by most law enforcement of several states hence no one can be allowed to use them without being authorized. Controlled dangerous substance NJ act also restricts these compounds hence everyone is supposed to follow the regulations to the latter.

Therefore, in case you have questions concerning the drugs, you are required to contact lawyers who deal with this line of work so that they can explain to you in detail. This way, you will have guidance from the lawyers thus you will know exactly the CDS you should not use without proper authorization.

Normally, the authorities have to follow a certain procedure to classify a certain drug. They have to authorize the commissioner of the health department of the state to determine when/if a compound is deemed as CDS. More so, the commissioner will add to this list whenever a drug is categorized as CDS.

Nevertheless, before a substance being considered to be CDS, commissioners must determine its abuse potentiality. The abuse level of the drug is the society, impact on the public health, bodily effects of that compound. Any available historical patterns, any evident addiction patterns and if that particular drug is being used as the precursor of another CDS drug. Therefore, is a drug is considered to cause all the above, it becomes classified under CDS.

There are normally five CDS classifications that have been put under the law of New Jersey. It is thus important to know all the five schedules or classifications. The schedule 1 compounds have a very high potential of being abused, and they are not acceptable for medical use or treatment because it lacks safety for treatment even when under medical supervision. They include marijuana, heroin, MDMA, etc.

Schedule 2 drugs are also considered to have a high potential of being abused. They may be acceptable to be used medically but under stringent regulations as they cause physic dependence. Examples are fentanyl, morphine, codeine, cocaine, methadone, etc. Schedule 3 substances have a high abuse potentiality but not like one and two. They can be medically used but also cause dependence. Examples are ketamine, anabolic steroids, and testosterone.

Schedule 4 drugs have an abuse potentiality that is low, unlike the initial three categories. They can be medically used in treatment. However, if abused, they also cause physic dependence. There are several examples, and they include alprazolam, zolpidem, and diazepam just to mention but a few.

The schedule 5 compounds also have a low abuse potential as compared to all the others. They have been accepted for medical use during treatment in most states. They can also cause limited physic dependence, and these are allowed to be sold over-the-counter basically for medical purposes. Some of the main examples include 200 milligrams of codeine, 100 milligrams of ethylmorphine and 100 milligrams of opium among others.
