Schedule 6 drugs are described as which of the following?

• A. Lower potential for abuse includes substances that contain limited quantities
• B. Highest potential for abuse
• C. No medical use
• D. Non-scheduled substances

Answer: (A)

Scheduling categorizes drugs by how likely they are to be abused and whether they have accepted medical use. Schedule 6 is the category for substances with a relatively low potential for abuse and that are kept in limited quantities to reduce misuse and diversion. They still have legitimate medical uses, but their risk profile is much lower than higher-scheduled drugs. The other descriptions don’t fit because the top schedules cover the highest abuse potential, substances with no accepted medical use are typically placed in the highest schedule, and non-scheduled substances aren’t controlled.
