What are schedule numbers and DEA codes?
The federal government assigns each CS a schedule number (I through V) according to its medicinal value, harmfulness, and potential for abuse or addiction. The DEA code is a 4-digit number assigned to each CS. Find schedule numbers and DEA codes at the DEA website. A higher schedule number indicates the substance has more medicinal value and less potential for abuse or addiction. The letter “N” can also accompany the schedule number, signifying the substance is a non-narcotic. If the DEA website has “N” in the NARC column, the item is a non-narcotic and is denoted by the Roman numeral and an “N” (e.g., IIN). If the DEA website has a “Y” in the NARC column, the item is a narcotic and is denoted so by the absence of the “N” (e.g., II).
