What does a level 2 narcotic mean?

Answer 1

In the US, controlled drugs are placed into one of five categories, called classes (not levels). Class 5 is the least controlled and Class 2 is the most controlled. Class 1 drugs are the most tightly controlled of all, but are different because they are illegal except for research use. Examples of Class 5 would be codeine cough syrups, Class 4, Valium-type tranquilizers, Class 3, hydrocodone meds like Vicodin and some sedatives like butalbital, Class 2, oxycodone, morphine, amphetamine, Ritalin, most barbiturates,

Demerol, Dilaudid, cocaine,and Class 1 would include such drugs as heroin, THC, methamphetamine, ecstacy, LSD, peyote, etc.
