This question has been bugging me for a long time. My educated guess is "no" because Rx ointments, for example, are not abusable. But I would like to confirm this.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Hang on, some states do have a "Schedule VI" which makes all Rx drugs controlled substances that are not already in DEA schedules I-V.

As I've learned by working in the ghetto before, anything is "abusable". Including mouthwash and hand sanitizer
Interesting...
Maybe insulin?Can you think of other drugs besides ointments that might not be controlled substances?
Maybe insulin?
Really? lol. oxycodone is a c-II controlled substance. Wouldn't mess around with that. Most drugs are not dea controlled. Ex blood pressure meds, cholesterol meds, any OTC meds, diabetic meds. etc. They may not be controlled by the dea, but they still require a prescription to have besides OTCs. Most controlled substances are ones that are likely to be highly addictive and abused.
Harrowing, isn't it? people drinking hand sanitizer and mouthwash....
All states have their own controlled substance laws so that they can deal with them with their own LEOs and judicial systems, so I would never consider federal DEA laws on their own.Well the question WAS: Are all Rx drugs considered DEA Controlled Substances? So we're talking federal law.

The state with a Schedule VI that makes all Rx drugs controlled substances is Massachusetts.
Oh sorry, we just dispense so much oxycodone that I get it confused with Skittles.

maybe you meant to say "dangerous" drugs
Tylenol is a dangerous drug and it is OTC...
There are lots of drugs I would consider dangerous that are not controlled substances.
There was an article not too long ago on CNN or yahoo that talked about children in school drinking hand sanitizer to get drunk. Then there was the articles talking about girls soaking tampons in alcohol and then using them. Though that one kinda baffled me, as I would think that would burn like hell, but who knows. People will do stupid things to get a buzz, as in the choking game, aerosol huffing, or pretty much any other ******ed activity kids do to use legal products to get a buzz off of.
On my last rotation, we found out that some patients were crushing and smoking antiretrovirals to get high!!
