Galiber* Conventional wisdom obliges elected officials to beat the narcodrums loudly and incessantly, and to demand increasingly harsh criminal penalties for the sale and use of illegal drugs.' It is reasonable to wonder why I, a senator, would dare submit a bill2 to the New York State Legislature which would regulate all drugs cur- rently proscribed as illegal in precisely the same manner as alcohol.3 The short answer is that the use of the criminal law to control drug use has not, and never will, have anything more than a costly and marginal impact on drug consumption.4 Despite all the public hyperventilation, drug consumption remains a private, consensual * New York State Senator; B.A. -
Definition of Controlled Substance Schedules
UPDATED MARCH 2018 DEFINITION OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE SCHEDULES Drugs and other substances that are considered controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) are divided into five schedules. An updated and complete list of the schedules is published annually in Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) §§ 1308.11 through 1308.15. Substances are placed in their respective schedules based on whether they have a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the U.S., their relative abuse potential, and likelihood of causing dependence when abused. Examples of the drugs in each schedule are listed below. Schedule I Controlled Substances Substances in this schedule have no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision, and a high potential for abuse. Some examples of substances listed in Schedule I are: heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), marijuana (cannabis), peyote, methaqualone, and 3,4- methylenedioxymethamphetamine ("Ecstasy"). Schedule II/IIN Controlled Substances (2/2N) Substances in this schedule have a high potential for abuse which may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence. Examples of Schedule II narcotics include: hydromorphone (Dilaudid®), methadone (Dolophine®), meperidine (Demerol®), oxycodone (OxyContin®, Percocet®), and fentanyl (Sublimaze®, Duragesic®). Other Schedule II narcotics include: morphine, opium, codeine, and hydrocodone. Examples of Schedule IIN stimulants include: amphetamine (Dexedrine®, Adderall®), methamphetamine (Desoxyn®), and methylphenidate (Ritalin®). Other Schedule II substances include: amobarbital, glutethimide, and pentobarbital. 1 Schedule III/IIIN Controlled Substances (3/3N) Substances in this schedule have a potential for abuse less than substances in Schedules I or II and abuse may lead to moderate or low physical dependence or high psychological dependence. -
Synthetic Drugs: Overview and Issues for Congress
Synthetic Drugs: Overview and Issues for Congress Lisa N. Sacco Analyst in Illicit Drugs and Crime Policy Kristin Finklea Specialist in Domestic Security May 3, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R42066 Synthetic Drugs: Overview and Issues for Congress Summary Synthetic drugs, as opposed to natural drugs, are chemically produced in a laboratory. Their chemical structure can be either identical to or different from naturally occurring drugs, and their effects are designed to mimic or even enhance those of natural drugs. When produced clandestinely, they are not typically controlled pharmaceutical substances intended for legitimate medical use. Designer drugs are a form of synthetic drugs. They contain slightly modified molecular structures of illegal or controlled substances, and they are modified in order to circumvent existing drug laws. While the issue of synthetic drugs and their abuse is not new, Congress has demonstrated a renewed concern with the issue. From 2009 to 2011, synthetic drug abuse was reported to have dramatically increased. During this time period, calls to poison control centers for incidents relating to harmful effects of synthetic cannabinoids (such as “K2” and “Spice”) and stimulants (such as “bath salts”) increased at what some considered to be an alarming rate. The number of hospital emergency department visits involving synthetic cannabinoids more than doubled from 2010 to 2011. In 2012 and 2013, however, the number of calls to poison control centers for incidents relating to harmful effects of synthetic cannabinoids and synthetic stimulants decreased. Calls regarding bath salts have declined each year since 2011, while calls regarding synthetic cannabinoids have increased since the drops in 2012 and 2013. -

House of Representatives Staff Analysis Bill #: Hb 6095
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STAFF ANALYSIS BILL #: HB 6095 Scheduling of Drug Products Containing Cannabidiol SPONSOR(S): Fischer TIED BILLS: IDEN./SIM. BILLS: SB 1476 REFERENCE ACTION ANALYST STAFF DIRECTOR or BUDGET/POLICY CHIEF 1) Professions & Public Health Subcommittee 17 Y, 0 N Morris McElroy 2) Criminal Justice & Public Safety Subcommittee 18 Y, 0 N Padgett Hall 3) Health & Human Services Committee 20 Y, 0 N Morris Calamas SUMMARY ANALYSIS Federal and state law both classify controlled substances into five schedules. The scheduling determination for a controlled substance is based on a substance’s potential for abuse, accepted medical use, and potential for addiction. The classifications range from a Schedule I substance, which has a high potential for abuse, with no accepted medical use, and high potential for addiction; to a Schedule V substance, which has a low potential for abuse, an accepted medical use, and a mild potential for addiction. Generally, cannabis and compounds derived from cannabis are listed in Schedule I of both federal and Florida law. Cannabis contains delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the psychoactive chemical in marijuana which produces the “high” commonly associated with marijuana use. Epidiolex is a prescription cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive compound derived from the cannabis plant which is used to treat seizures. Epidiolex does not contain THC. On June 25, 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Epidiolex for use by patients two years of age or older and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) rescheduled Epidiolex in Schedule V of the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA). In 2019, the Legislature, mirroring federal law, formally rescheduled Epidiolex as a Schedule V controlled substance. -

ACMD Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs Chair: Professor Les Iversen Secretary: Rachel Fowler 3rd Floor Seacole Building 2. Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF 020 7035 0454 Email: [email protected] Rt Hon. Theresa May MP Home Office 2 Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF 18th October 2012 Dear Home Secretary, In March 2012 the ACMD advised that methoxetamine be subject to a temporary class drug order. Methoxetamine was marketed as a legal alternative to ketamine until a temporary class drug order was implemented in April 2012. As is now required, the ACMD has followed its initial assessment with a consideration of methoxetamine in the context of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971; I enclose the report with this letter. The chemical structure of methoxetamine bears a close resemblance to that of both ketamine and phencyclidine (PCP, „Angel Dust‟, a class A drug), which both produce well- documented and serious adverse effects following both acute and chronic usage. Users report that the effects of methoxetamine are similar to those of ketamine, however, some users report that the effects are of longer duration.The harmful effects reported include severe dissociation, cardiovascular symptoms, paranoid thoughts and unpleasant hallucinations. The first analytically confirmed series reported by Guy‟s and St Thomas‟ NHS Foundation Trust, London in 2011, was of three individuals who presented having self-reported use of methoxetamine. All three presented with a ketamine-like dissociative state, but also had significant stimulant effects with agitation and cardiovascular effects including tachycardia and hypertension. Toxicological screening of serum samples confirmed methoxetamine use in two of the cases. -
