  10. Laws legal issues • These synthetic cannabinoids are designated as Schedule I substances, the most restrictive category under the Controlled Substances Act. Schedule I substances have a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use for treatment in the United States and a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug under medical supervision. As a result of this order, the full effect of the Controlled Substances Act and its implementing regulations of Schedule I substances will be imposed on the manufacture, distribution, possession, importation, and exportation of these synthetic cannabinoids.
