This is an alphabetical list of the substances contained in the federal schedules (minus the salts, isomers, etc., of the various listed drugs) (current through April 26, 2004).

Updates to the schedules are tracked on the following site:
http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/schedules/actions/90_actions.htm

When the INS bears the burden of proof, the INS cannot remove a noncitizen convicted of a drug offense where the conviction record does not name the controlled substance involved.
See our E-Newsletter on Matter of Paulus, and how to find state controlled substances which are not on the federal list.

Key: Drug Name | (Q) = quantity-based limitation | (A#) = also known as # | (schedule)

     To make an alphabetical proscribed drug list of the specific substances controlled in a specific state, for comparison purposes:

1. Locate the most recent state drug schedule in an electronic format, and paste this list into a word-processor document.

2. Delete all the superfluous language, section headings, etc. so that only a list of the individual drugs remains. Make sure to indicate the schedule in which each drug was listed. Give each drug with multiple names a number, and gave that same number to each A.K.A.

3. Use the "sort" function of the word processor program to alphabetize the federal list.

To make a drug by drug comparison between the California and federal schedules:

4. Paste the Federal alphabetical list into the document that contains the state proscribed drug list.

5. Highlight the state list within the word processor document, and then sort both lists into a single alphabetical listing (with the state drugs still highlighted).

6. Going down the list, use the strikeout function to mark any highlighted/nonhighlighted drug pairs. These pairs each represent a specific controlled substance that appears on both the state and the federal lists. Strike these pairs from the list.

7. Return to the top of the list and use the "find" function to find any AKAs of the drugs stricken. Strike the AKAs.

8. After striking all drugs that are listed on both lists, the substances that remain are those on the state list but which do not appear on the federal controlled substances schedules. A conviction of an offense involving a state drug which is not on the federal list will not trigger deportation.
