Which of the following is classified as a Schedule I drug?

Marijuana
Heroin
Cocaine
Ketamine

The correct answer is: Heroin

Heroin is classified as a Schedule I drug due to its high potential for abuse and the lack of accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. The Schedule I classification indicates that these substances are considered to have a high likelihood of addiction and no recognized therapeutic benefits, making them illegal to manufacture, distribute, or possess. In contrast, marijuana, although still classified as Schedule I under federal law, is recognized in various states for its medicinal use, which can lead to different treatment protocols. Cocaine, classified under Schedule II, has accepted medical use for conditions like local anesthesia, and Ketamine is also Schedule III, recognized for its medical applications in anesthesia and treatment-resistant depression. Understanding these classifications is important for law enforcement as it informs them about the legal statuses, regulations, and potential consequences associated with the possession and trafficking of these substances.
