What schedule drug is lidocaine?

Answer 1

My understanding is that though it's related to cocaine, lidocaine isn't a scheduled substance. It isn't something you can get high off of or abuse. People who do find ways to inject it or ingest it in other ways, what they are experiencing is a severe overdose and what they experience are delusions related to overdose, not a "high". What they experience are a symptom that person may die and they should be taken to a hospital immediately or call an ambulance.

That being said, you can't buy Lidocaine at your local drug store, though there are other weaker variations of similar substances at your drug store that are. But at least in my town and province, Lidocaine can only be administered by a doctor because of some concerns about interactions of some sort.

That was explained to me directly by nurses here in Ontario, when I was about to have a procedure done. They said they used to have the authority/ability to administer it, but it was taken away from them for some concerns of rare drug interactions. So I had wait 2 hours, every "regular" doctor couldn't be bothered or cared to do something so "menial" or "below them", I had to wait for their pet Resident Doctor to come put two sprays in my throat, which took 5 seconds, but had to wait 2 hours to receive.
