When Was Cannabis Classified as a Schedule I Drug?

Back in the 1970s, US President Richard Nixon was amidst the global campaign known as โ€œThe War on Drugs,โ€ which aimed to reduce illegal drug trade in the United States. The campaign focused on preventing problematic drug use, alcohol abuse, as well as drug abuse disorders.

 

The first step in this fight was the United States Congress passing the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) that became effective on May 1st, 1971. This act classified cannabis as a Schedule I substance under federal law, with a โ€œhigh potential of abuse and no accepted medical useโ€ along with heroin, ecstasy, and GHB.

 

To handle the enforcement of the drug schedule, Nixon established the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) with the intent of replacing other federal agencies which carried out anti-drug policies like the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs and the Bureau of Drug Abuse Control.

 

After the passing of the CSA schedules, some people believed that the prohibition of cannabis should be ended in favor of public health since cannabis has some medical benefits. However, it took a while until new legalization laws were passed in relation to medical cannabis.

 

The Federal Drug Scheduling System

After Congress passed the Controlled Substance Act, the DEA was responsible for enforcing the drug schedule. While the system has been modified since the โ€™70s, some of the drugs are still in the same category as they were back then.

 

This system classifies drugs, substances, and chemicals by scheduling them into 5 categories based on the drugโ€™s acceptable medical use, abuse, and dependency potential. Schedule I drugs have the highest abuse potential, as well as the highest potential for creating a psychological or physical dependence, while Schedule V drugs have the least potential for abuse or dependence.

 

Schedule I

Schedule I drugs have the highest potential for abuse, no accepted medical use, as well as a high dependency potential. Drugs, substances, and chemicals listed as Schedule I include:

Heroin;

Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD);

3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy);

Peyote.
