Foreword
The first three sections of this booklet list the names of the substances which are described in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) as well as some of those which generate frequent inquiries. The substances are first arranged
alphabetically, then by Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) drug code number, and finally by Controlled Substances
Act (21 U.S.C. §801 et seq.) (CSA) schedule.
These lists describe the basic or parent chemical and do not describe the salts, isomers, salts of isomers, esters,
ethers, and derivatives which may be controlled substances. These are not comprehensive lists so please note that a
substance need not be listed as a controlled substance to be treated as a scheduled substance for criminal prosecution.
The “Other Names” column, provides some examples of alternate names for certain compounds, and in some
instances provides examples of “positional isomers”. If outside parties want to ensure that a compound is not
considered a scheduled substance or listed chemical, they should write the DEA, Drug and Chemical Evaluation
Section (DRE), Diversion Control Division, 8701 Morrissette Drive, Springfield, Virginia 22152, for an official
determination.
A substance (not included on these lists) may also be regulated as a controlled substance analogue. A controlled
substance analogue is a substance which is intended for human consumption, is structurally substantially similar to a schedule
I or schedule II substance, is pharmacologically substantially similar to a schedule I or schedule II substance, or is
represented as being similar to a schedule I or schedule II substance and is not an approved medication in the United States.
See 21 U.S.C. § 802(32)(A) for the definition of a controlled substance analogue and 21 U.S.C. § 813 for the schedule.
The next two sections of this booklet list the Federal Register notices through which the DEA has directed substances
to be added, deleted or transferred between schedules of the CSA. The scheduling changes are listed first in alphabetical
order by substance and then in chronological order by effective date. With the exception of anabolic steroids, section 812 of
the CSA lists only those substances which were controlled in 1970 when the law was enacted. Since then, over 200
substances have been added, removed, or transferred from one schedule to another. The current official list of controlled
substances can be found in section 1308 of the most recent issue of Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1300 to end (21
CFR § 1308) and the final rules which have been published in the Federal Register subsequent to the issuance of the CFR.
The CFR and the Federal Register are available on the U.S. Government Printing Office web site at
https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/. This information is accessible, also, on the Diversion Control Division’s website at
https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/.
The last section of this booklet identifies the “List I” and “List II” chemicals. Certain commercial transactions
involving these chemicals are regulated by the CSA. See 21 CFR §§ 1309, 1310 and 1313 for details.
These lists are intended as general references and are not comprehensive listings of all controlled substances and
regulated chemicals.
