Under the Controlled Substances Act, how many schedules are there?

  1. 3

  2. 4

  3. 5

  4. 6

The correct answer is: 5

Under the Controlled Substances Act, there are five schedules that classify drugs and other substances according to their potential for abuse and medical use. Schedule I includes drugs with a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use, while Schedule V includes drugs with the lowest potential for abuse and accepted medical use. A 3 or 4 schedule classification would not provide enough categories to accurately classify the wide range of drugs and substances. A 6 schedule classification would likely create unnecessary overlap and confusion between categories. Therefore, C 5 is the most accurate and practical choice.
