The Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, also known as the Controlled Substances Act, developed a classification system for all drugs based on their potential for abuse and medical use. The act created five schedules of controlled substances, with Schedule I drugs being considered the most dangerous and having no accepted medical use, while Schedule V drugs have lower potential for abuse and accepted medical uses. This classification system is still in use today.
