What is the classification of opiates?

Opiates are their own class of drugs. If you are talking about what class of controlled substances opiates are in, they are members of three classes. Illegal opiates like heroin and many other illegal drugs are DEA Schedule I drugs. No Schedule I drug is legal in the US. The stronger opiates like morphine, fentanyl, oxycodone, hydromorphone (Dilaudid), oxymorphone (Opana), and methadone are Schedule II controlled substances. The weaker opiates such as codeine, dihydrocodeine, and hydrocodone (Vicoden) are Schedule III drugs, although the DEA is currently considering moving hydrocodone into Schedule II.


How illegal is MDMA?

MDMDA also know as ecstasy is very illigal in the United States. The DEA(Drug Enforcement Agency) has a "5 Schedule" system that they classify how illigal drugs are based on the drugs potential for abuse, how addictive it is, and its known medical purposes. Schedule 1 is for the worst drugs with a lot of potential for abuse and no known useful medical purposes while schedule 5 is for the opposite, drugs that arn't as harmful and have medical purposes. The DEA has listed ecstasy under Schedule 1. However The DEA doesn't really make any sense in classifying a lot of drugs under schedule 1 because some drugs in schedule 1 are safer than alcohol which is legal.
